NAME
pamtohtmltbl - convert pnm/pam visual image to an HTML table
SYNOPSIS
pamtohtmltbl [-transparent=color] [-verbose] [file]
Minimum unique abbreviation of option is acceptable. You may use double
hyphens instead of single hyphen to denote options. You may use white
space in place of the equals sign to separate an option name from its
value.
DESCRIPTION
This program is part of Netpbm(1).
pamtohtmltbl converts a visual image to an HTML table with one cell per
pixel. The cell is empty, but its background color is that of the
pixel.
file is a PBM, PGM, PPM, or PAM file. If PAM, it must be a standard vi-
sual image of tuple type RGB, GRAYSCALE, or BLACKANDWHITE, or something
equivalent with extra higher numbered channels, but pamtohtmltbl doesn't
check the tuple type; it just assumes.
Note that the more normal way to include a visual image in an HTML docu-
ment is with a <IMG> tag.
Not all web browsers render tables as pamtohtmltbl expects, and there-
fore show a grossly distorted image. Internet Explorer 7 on Windows and
Opera 9.02 on Windows have been seen to work; Firefox 2.0.0.16 on the
same Windows system has been seen not to.
OPTIONS
In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
(most notably -quiet, see ]8;;index.html#commonoptions\ Common Options]8;;\ ), pamtohtmltbl recognizes the
following command line options:
-transparent=color
This option indicates that pixels of the specified color are to
be transparent in the HTML table. The table cell for a pixel of
this color will have no background color specified.
Specify the color (color) as described for the ]8;;libnetpbm_image.html#colorname\argument of the
pnm_parsecolor() library routine]8;;\ .
-verbose
This option causes pamtohtmltbl to display messages about the
conversion process.
