NAME
     dump sunras - dump representation of a pixmap to a sun rasterfile.

SUMMARY
     Name	   dump sunras

     Type	   data output

     Inputs	   pixmap (required; pixmap)

     Outputs	   none

     Parameters	   Name		   Type
		   filename	   browser

DESCRIPTION

     The dump sunras module produces a sun rasterfile from its input
     pixmap.

     This module knows about 8,24 and 32 bit pixmaps.  It will write
     an 8bit rasterfile when presented an 8bit pixmap as input, otherwise
     at 24bit BGR ("RT_STANDARD") rasterfile is produced.

INPUTS

     pixmap (pixmap)
	  Any AVS pixmap.

PARAMETERS

     filename
	A typein that allows you to specify the name of the output file.


EXAMPLE
     This example converts an image to a PostScript file:

	   READ	IMAGE
	       |
	  IMAGE	TO PIXMAP
	       |
	  DUMP SUNRAS

RELATED	MODULES
     Dump icc, Dump ps

LIMITATIONS
     This module has not been tested on a 16-plane system.
