I need to convert raster cells into points. I use Idrisi and I need to generate a table containing xy (coordinates) and z (cell value).

Thanks for the commet but xyz idris export tool is for vector data only (at least in Taiga). I need to get the cell values of an image in tabular for. – juan Apr 7 '12 at 15:34
First convert your raster to vector and then do as I said before (export)..you will get x,y,z file – A.D.Prasad Apr 7 '12 at 15:57

If it is a single band raster, you can use gdal_translate:

kyle@kyle-workstation:Desktop$ gdal_translate -b 1 -of XYZ -co ADD_HEADER_LINE=YES kyle.png test.xyz
Input file size is 992, 744
0...10...20...30...40...50...60...70...80...90...100 - done.
kyle@kyle-workstation:Desktop$ head test.xyz 
X Y Z
0.5 0.5 208
1.5 0.5 211
2.5 0.5 210
3.5 0.5 211
4.5 0.5 208
5.5 0.5 211
6.5 0.5 209
7.5 0.5 210
8.5 0.5 211

-b is band selection, the -co adds the header line.
