readPIF()

int readPIF	(	Bimage *	p,
		int	readdata,
		int	img_select
	)

Reading a PIF image and structure factor file format. A 2D and 3D image format used in electron microscopy. There are two types of files:

1. A typical binary image format with a file header and a header for each sub-image.
2. A binary structure factor format with the same file header as for the image format File header size: 512 bytes followed by optional 768 byte colour table Image header size: 512 bytes for each image File format extensions: .pif Identifier: supposed to be the first 8 bytes Byte order determination: Data type and third dimension values must be less than 256*256. Data types: 0 = byte, 1 = short, 2 = float, 3 = complex short, 4 = complex float. Transform type: List of structure factors. Note: To avoid endianness problems associated with different floating point formats (particularly those under VMS), this format was intended to store only integers. A 16 byte string following the 8th byte encodes a floating point conversion scale to convert an integer map and some of the fields in the header back to floating point. However, this format was designed in the CCP4/MRC style format, and the floating point data type was retained, as well as complex types used for transforms.

   Parameters

   *p	the image structure.
   readdata	flag to activate reading of image data.
   img_select	image selection in multi-image file (-1 = all images).

   Returns

   int error code (<0 means failure).
