NAME
pfmtopam - Convert PFM (Portable Float Map) image to Netpbm format
SYNOPSIS
pfmtopam [-maxval=n] [-verbose] [imagefile]
All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix. You may
use two hyphens instead of one. You may separate an option name and its
value with white space instead of an equals sign.
DESCRIPTION
This program is part of Netpbm(1).
pfmtopam reads a PFM (Portable Float Map) image and converts it to PAM.
See pamtopfm(1) for a description of PFM.
If you want one of the older, more portable Netpbm formats, run the out-
put through pamtopnm.
pamtopfm creates a PAM with tuple type "RGB" or "GRAYSCALE" depending on
whether or not the PFM is in the color subformat.
Use pamtopfm(1) to convert a PFM image to Netpbm format.
OPTIONS
In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
(most notably -quiet, see ]8;;index.html#commonoptions\ Common Options]8;;\ ), pfmtopam recognizes the
following command line options:
-maxval=n
This specifies the maxval for the PAM. Default is 255.
-verbose
This causes pfmtopam to display messages describing
the PFM input file.
