pnmtorast - Man Page
convert a PPM into a Sun rasterfile
Examples (TL;DR)
- Convert a PNM image to a RAST image:
pnmtorast path/to/input.pnm > path/to/output.rast - Force either
RT_STANDARDorRT_BYTE_ENCODEDform for the output:pnmtorast -standard|rle path/to/input.pnm > path/to/output.rast
Synopsis
Description
This program is part of Netpbm(1).
pnmtorastreads a PPM image as input and produces a Sun rasterfile as output.
Color values in Sun rasterfiles are eight bits wide, so pnmtorast will automatically scale colors to have a maxval of 255. An extra pamdepth step is not necessary.
Options
In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see Common Options ), pnmtorast recognizes the following command line options:
All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.
- -standard
Forces the result to be in RT_STANDARD form.
- -rle
Forces the result to be in RT_BYTE_ENCODED, which is smaller but, well, less standard.
The default is -rle.
