pct2rgb: pct2rgb.py

NAME

pct2rgb - pct2rgb.py Convert an 8bit paletted image to 24bit RGB

SYNOPSIS

pct2rgb.py [-of format] [-b band] [-rgba] source_file dest_file

DESCRIPTION

This utility will convert a pseudocolor band on the input file into an output RGB file of the desired format.

-of format:

Format to generated (defaults to GeoTIFF).

-b band:

Band to convert to RGB, defaults to 1.

-rgba:

Generate a RGBA file (instead of a RGB file by default).

source_file:

The input file.

dest_file:

The output RGB file that will be created.

NOTE: pct2rgb.py is a Python script, and will only work if GDAL was built with Python support.

The new '-expand rgb|rgba' option of gdal_translate obsoletes that utility.
