NAME

       bmptopnm - convert a BMP file into a portable anymap

SYNOPSIS

       bmptopnm [bmpfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads  a  Microsoft  Windows or OS/2 BMP file as input.  Produces a PBM, PGM, or PNM image as output.  If the input is colormapped and con-
       tains only black and white, the output is PBM.  If the input is colormapped and contains only black white and  gray,  the  output  is  PGM.
       Otherwise, the output is PPM.

       This  program  cannot convert BMP files with compressed (run length encoded) image data.  It recognizes the compression and issues an error
       message.

       This program cannot convert BMP files with 16 bits per pixel (only because the author did not have a complete specification for them).   It
       recognizes the format and issues an error message.

NAME

       pnmtov - convert portable anymap (PNM) image to Vista data file

SYNOPSIS

       pnmtov [-option ...] [infile] [outfile]

DESCRIPTION

       pnmtov converts an image from a portable anymap (PNM) file to a Vista data file. The following types of portable anymap may be converted:

	 o Portable  bitmap (PBM) and its ``rawbits'' variant. A PBM image is converted to a single-band Vista image with bit pixels. Pixel values
	   0 and 1 are swapped since, for PBM images, 0 denotes white and 1 denotes black.

	 o Portable graymap (PGM) and its ``rawbits'' variant. A PGM image is converted to a single-band Vista image with ubyte pixels.  The  full
	   range of PGM pixel values is mapped to [0,255] in the returned image.

	 o Portable pixmap (PPM) and its ``rawbits'' variant. A PPM image is converted to an RGB color image (nbands: 3, ncolors: 3, color_interp:
	   rgb) with ubyte pixels. The full range of PPM pixel values is mapped to [0,255] in the returned image.

       A wide range of filters are available for converting other image formats to PNM.

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

       pnmtov accepts the following options:

       -help	      Prints a message describing options.

       -in infile     Specifies the input file, which is a PBM, PGM, or PPM file.

       -out outfile   Specifies the output file, which will be a Vista data file.

       -name name     Specifies the name to be given the converted image. Default: ``image''.

       Input and output files can be specified on the command line or allowed to default to the standard input and output streams.
