SYNOPSIS

       mtvtoppm [mtvfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads an input file from Mark VanDeWettering's MTV ray tracer.  Produces a portable pixmap as output.

       The PRT raytracer also produces this format.

NAME

       ppmtotga - convert portable pixmap into a TrueVision Targa file

SYNOPSIS

       ppmtotga [-mono|-cmap|-rgb] [-norle] [ppmfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads a portable pixmap as input.  Produces a TrueVision Targa file as output.

OPTIONS

       -mono  Forces Targa file to be of type 8 bit monochrome.  Input must be a portable bitmap or a portable graymap.

       -cmap  Forces  Targa  file to be of type 24 bit colormapped.  Input must be a portable bitmap, a portable graymap or a portable pixmap con-
              taining no more than 256 distinct colors.

       -rgb   Forces Targa file to be of type 24 bit unmapped color.

       -norle Disables run-length encoding, in case you have a Targa reader which can't read run-length encoded files.

       All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.  If no file type is specified the most highly constained compatible  type  is
       used, where monochrome is more constained than colormapped which is in turn more constained than unmapped.

BUGS

       Does not support all possible Targa file types.  Should really be in PNM, not PPM.
