One can use the strings command to show the header: strings myimage.cbf Thierry

Dear Takaaki, The .cbf images I work with (SLS) have their header as plain text in front of the image. With an editor like vi I can examine the contents. Also with the more command you can have a look at it. What I find in the header though, is Start_angle and Angle_increment; no end angle. The command typed in a terminal window: grep -a ngle imagename.cbf will give you this information.

Dezember 2014 12:22 An: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK Betreff: [ccp4bb] how to dump diffraction image header info? Dear all, I'd like to dump header information of a diffraction image file. CCP4 diffdump is a good tool, though it outputs the same angle for both oscillation start and end for .cbf image. (bug?) Are there any other tools to get diffraction image header info?
