I used YMMV in this sense:

-- Your mileage may vary definition of Your mileage may vary in the Free Online Encyclopedia.

I compiled and executed the code on Debian, but I didn't run it on other systems, hence

It was an alternate method, suggestion, proof for something other than the perl solution.

Sometimes I do test solutions on systems that are close to the OP's system, but in cases where I don't, YMMV applies.

Best wishes ... cheers, drl

NAME
ppmtopgm - convert a portable pixmap into a portable graymap SYNOPSIS
ppmtopgm [ppmfile] DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces a portable graymap as output. The output is a "black and white" rendering of the original image, as in a black and white photograph. The quantization formula used is .299 r + .587 g + .114 b. Note that although there is a pgmtoppm program, it is not necessary for simple conversions from pgm to ppm , because any ppm program can read pgm (and pbm ) files automatically. pgmtoppm is for colorizing a pgm file. Also, see ppmtorgb3 for a different way of converting color to gray. And ppmdist generates a grayscale image from a color image, but in a way that makes it easy to differentiate the original colors, not necessarily a way that looks like a black and white photograph. QUOTE
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night Removes the colors from our sight Red is gray, and yellow white But we decide which is right And which is a quantization error. SEE ALSO
