NAME

       pextrem - find minimum and maximum values in RADIANCE picture

SYNOPSIS

       pextrem [ -o ] [ picture ]

DESCRIPTION

       Pextrem  locates  the minimum and maximum values for the input picture,
       and prints their pixel locations and  color  values.   The  first  line
       printed  contains  the x and y pixel location (x measured from the left
       margin, y measured from the bottom), followed by  the  red,  green  and
       blue values.  The second line printed contains the same information for
       the maximum value.

       The -o option  prints  the  original  (radiance)  values,  undoing  any
       exposure or color correction done on the picture.

       If no input picture is given, the standard input is read.

BUGS

       The  luminance  value  is  used  for  comparison of pixels, although in
       certain anomolous cases (ie. highly saturated colors)  it  is  possible
       that  pextrem  will  not pick the absolute minimum or maximum luminance
       value.  This is because a fast integer-space  comparison  is  used.   A
       more  reliable floating-point comparison would be slower by an order of
       magnitude.
