rastools is a small suite of utilities for converting data files obtained from SSRL (Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource) scans (.RAS and .DAT files) into images. Various simple manipulations (cropping, percentiles, histograms, color-maps) are supported. Most tools are command line based, but a Qt-based GUI is also included.

The project homepage has links to packages or instructions for all supported platforms.

The set of tools included is:

• rasinfo dumps information obtained from the header of the scan file to stdout
• rasdump extracts channels from a scan file and dumps its data to a standard format like CSV or Excel
• rasextract extracts channels from a scan file, applies any simple transforms specified (e.g. percentile) and writes the output as a standard image format (PNG, TIFF, SVG, etc.)
• rasviewer is a Qt-based GUI for viewing the channels of one or more scan files. It supports all the transforms that rasextract supports and also allows exporting of images

Further information on the tools can be found in the rastools documentation.
