NAME
       ppmtomap - extract all colors from a portable pixmap

DESCRIPTION
       This program exists only for backward compatibility.

       Use pnmcolormap, which replaced it in January 2002.

       One  trivial difference between ppmtomap and pnmcolormap all is that if the input is PBM or PGM, ppmtomap would produce PPM output, whereas
       pnmcolormap all produces the same kind of output as the input.  This should not be very noticeable, though, as PBM and PGM images are  usu-
       ally usable anywhere a PPM image is.
