Viewing a binary image

How's it going. Here is my problem. I have a bunch of raw binary images that i am inputting into a C program. I want to be able to view these images so i can tell whether or not the values i am getting are correct. I have been told a way to do this would be to output the pixel values to a file and then create a PBM file that i can then view with a program like XV. I, however, dont know how to create a PBM file or if this is even the right / easiest way to do this. Any help would be appreciated. I am programming in C and using a RedHat linux machine. Thanks a lot.

It's a monochrome bitmap format considered useless except for piping raw data. Perhaps that's suitable for you. I have never heard of it before, which shows you the utility of being able to type "www.google.com" and "pbm". I recommend it highly. It's even easier than writing C programs. Here's a link re the format.

I have already searched google and found many sights just like the one you linked describing the PBM format. My problem, however, is that i want to be able to create a PBM file from a raw binary file and don't know the steps to do it. It is not even necessary that i use PBM format as long as in the end i am able to view the image.

That link describes the format in detail. Exactly what were you expecting?
