% PGMWRITE Writes an image into a binary PGM (Portable GrayMap) file.
%
%          PGMREAD('filename.pgm',data) takes the image as a 2D array of
%          values, in the orientation suitable for calls to IMAGE and IMAGESC,
%          and writes it into the named file.
%          Each value corresponds to the intensity of one pixel.
