                           java.io.IOException

Convenience method for writing all of the images and metadata obtained from the specified IFormatReader into the specified IFormatWriter. It is required that setId(String) be called on the IFormatReader object before it is passed to convert(...). setMetadataStore(...) should also have been called with an appropriate instance of IMetadata. The setId(String) method must not be called on the IFormatWriter object; this is taken care of internally. Additionally, the setMetadataRetrieve(...) method in IFormatWriter should not be called.

Parameters:

input - the pre-initialized IFormatReader used for reading data.

output - the uninitialized IFormatWriter used for writing data.

outputFile - the full path name of the output file to be created.
