Recommended way to convert .vs output file to raster?

[songololo]

@chaulio Is there a recommended way to convert the .vs output file to a raster image?

Thanks,
Gareth

You can probably use the following code, by Prof. Franklin @ RPI. That used to be online on his website, but I couldn't find it...

// Time-stamp: </wrf/c/site-dist-may2006/auxil/makepbm.cc, Tue, 16 May 2006, 07:56:31 EDT, http://wrfranklin.org/>

// Usage:  makepbm NROWS < DATA > PBM
// Read NROWS**2 contig bits, and write as a binary PBM file.

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>

using namespace std;

void die(const char *msg)
{	std::cerr << "ERROR: " << msg << endl;
 exit(1);
}


int main(const int argc, const char **const argv) {
  int n;
  char c;
  int nb;
  char **b;
  int bitsleft, i, j;
  unsigned char mask[8] = {128,64,32,16,8,4,2,1};

  if (argc!=2) {
    cerr << "argc=" << argc << endl;
    die("MAKEPBM requires 1 argument:  NROWS");
  }

  n = atoi(argv[1]);

  b = new char* [n];
  for (i=0;i<n;i++) b[i] = new char[n];

  bitsleft = 0;  // number of bits left in curr char;

  cin.unsetf(ios::skipws);    // Do not skip spaces on input.

  for (i=0; i<n; i++)
    for (j=0; j<n; j++) {
      if (bitsleft==0) {
	cin.read(&c,1);
	if (!cin) die("EOF in makepbm");
	bitsleft = 8;
      }
      if ((c&mask[8-bitsleft])!=0) b[i][j] = 1;
      else b[i][j] = 0;
      bitsleft--;
    }

  cout << "P4" << endl << n << ' ' << n << endl;

  for (i=0; i<n; i++) {
    bitsleft = 8;
    c = 0;
    for (j=0; j<n; j++) {
      if (bitsleft==0) {
	cout.write(&c,1);
	c = 0;
	bitsleft = 8;
      }
      if (b[i][j]) c |= mask[8-bitsleft];
      bitsleft--;
    }
      if (bitsleft!=8) 	cout.write(&c,1);
  }
}
