mipsman
This will bring up a html browser which lists the available programs. You can get information about a program by clicking on its name. If you already know the name of the program you want to use and just need some additional information type the following:
mipsmanprogram
For example, if you want to obtain information about the program ratio type the following:
mipsman ratio
Before running a program strictly using the command line, you should run a program under the windows mode first. This will allow you to see what type of parameters you need to enter. The following are examples of running several programs using only the command line:
ratio outfile=infile1,infile2
histdk infile
filter outfile=infile lpf nl=5,ns=5
stats infile1,infile2,infile3 min=(10,13,6)
To run the program under batch just put the commands similar to the ones given above in a file and execute that file. You can create a batch file quickly by using a history file (.hst) which is created by programs that have output files. For example, the command:
ratio outfile=infile1,infile2
will produce a file called outfile.hst and this file can be easily modified to create a batch file.
To find out which visuals a server supports check the help pages for that software or login to a Unix machine from the machine you want the information about and bring up a terminal window. Type the command xdpyinfo. The program xdpyinfo will display a list of available visuals along with information about the current default settings.
USGS MIPS was developed for the UNIX and OpenVMS operating systems only. Many operating system specific calls are used to speed up image processing tasks, and the user interface was written using X Windows not MS Windows. For these reasons the USGS MIPS software is not compatible with MS DOS, Windows 95 or NT.
Although it has not been done, it may be possible for a talented programmer to port USGS MIPS to a PC based system running Linux.
