.SH NAME
vipsedit \- edit header of a vips image file
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B vipsedit [OPTION...] vipsfile
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B vipsedit
alters a VIPS image file's header. This is useful for setting the resolution,
for example.
The options are:
-x, --xsize=N set Xsize to N
-y, --ysize=N set Ysize to N
-b, --bands=N set Bands to N
-f, --format=F set BandFmt to F (eg. uchar)
-i, --interpretation=I
set Interpretation to I (eg. xyz)
-c, --coding=C set Coding to C (eg. labq)
-X, --xres=R set Xres to R pixels/mm
-Y, --yres=R set Yres to R pixels/mm
-u, --xoffset=N set Xoffset to N
-v, --yoffset=N set Yoffset to N
-e, --setext replace extension block with stdin
Be very careful when changing Xsize, Ysize, BandFmt or Bands. vipsedit does no
checking!
.SH EXAMPLES
To set the Xsize to 512 and Bands to 6:
vipsedit --xsize=512 --bands=6 fred.v
or
vipsedit -x 512 -b 6 fred.v
Extract the XML metadata from an image with

vipsheader -f getext fred.v | sed s/banana/pineapple/ | vipsedit -e fred.v
