# uint16
Convert an image to a uint16 image.

## Synopsis

img = uint16( f )

Implemented in Python.

### Input

f | Image Any image

### Output

img | Image The converted image

## Description

uint16 clips the input image between the values 0 and 65535 and converts it to the unsigned 16-bit datatype.

## Examples

    >>> a = int32([-3,0,8,100000])

    >>> print uint16(a)

    [    0     0     8 65535]

## Source Code

    def uint16(f):
        from Numeric import array, clip
        img = array(clip(f,0,65535)).astype('w')
        return img
