ISIS 3 Application Documentation
Export cube to an ascii file
Overview
Parameters
Example 1
Description
This program will print the cube data to an ascii file. Special pixels will be represented
as NULL, LIS, LRS, HIS and HRS. If you do not want special pixels in your ascii output,
run the program "stretch" to replace their value. If there are multiple bands in the cube,
they will be output in band sequential format. Beware: The output file will be roughly
3 times as big as the input.
