PIC2PS(9.1)															       PIC2PS(9.1)

NAME
       pic2ps, pic2gif - convert picture files to other formats

SYNOPSIS
       fb/pic2ps [ -c ] [ -h height ] [ input ]

       fb/pic2gif [ -i ] [ -l ] [ -b depth ] [ input ]

DESCRIPTION
       Pic2ps converts its input image (default standard input) into encapsulated PostScript, writing the result to standard output.  If the input
       image is full-color, its luminance is computed first, except under option -c,  which  produces  output  suitable  for  a  color	PostScript
       printer.   Option  -h  sets  the  output image height in inches.  The default height is 3", to match the default height of the .BP macro in
       troff -mpictures.

       Pic2gif converts its input image (default standard input) into a Compuserv GIF format file, writing the result to standard output.  It con-
       verts  only the first channel of the input image, which may yield wrong results -- use the -l flag or quantize(9.1) or some other dithering
       filter to reduce color images to a single channel.  Option -i produces an interlaced output file.  Option -b sets the number  of  bits  per
       pixel  in  the  output file.  The default is 8, which is the maximum.  Option -l makes pic2gif compute the NTSC luminance of its input.	If
       pic2gif's input contains no color map, it assumes that it is a 256 grey shade monochrome image.
