pcdovtoppm - Man Page

• Create a PPM index image from a PCD overview file: pcdovtoppm path/to/file.pcd > path/to/output.ppm
• Specify the [m]aximum width of the output image and the maximum [s]ize of each of the images contained in the output: pcdovtoppm -m width -s size path/to/file.pcd > path/to/output.ppm
• Specify the maximum number of images [a]cross and the maximum number of [c]olours: pcdovtoppm -a n_images -c n_colours path/to/file.pcd > path/to/output.ppm
• Use the specified [f]ont for annotations and paint the background [w]hite: pcdovtoppm -f font -w path/to/file.pcd > path/to/output.ppm

This program is part of Netpbm(1).

This program generates an index image in PPM format for a photo CD, based on the photo CD overview file.

You can achieve a similar result with hpcdtoppm -Overview followed by pnmindex -black on the generated PPM images.

In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see Common Options ), pcdovtoppm recognizes the following command line options:

-wwidth

Maximum width of the result image (default: 1152).

-ssize

Maximum size of each of the images (default: 192).

-aacross

Maximum number of images across (default: 6).

-ccolors

Maximum number of colors, or  n

to mean no quantization

-ffont

Font to be used for annotation (default: internal font).

-b

Black background color (default).

-w

White background color.

The Netpbm common options -version, -plain and -quiet were implemented starting with Netpbm 10.91 (June 2020).  Before that, none of these options were valid.

pcdovtoppm -m 768 -s 96 -f smallfont.pbm overview.pcd > overview.ppm

pcdovtoppm /cdrom/photo_cd/overview.pcd | ppmtojpeg > overview.jpg

This program was formerly called pcdindex, which did not fit Netpbm naming conventions.
