Pgmtolispm User Manual(1)   General Commands Manual   Pgmtolispm User Manual(1)

NAME
       pgmtolispm - convert a PGM image to Lisp Machine format

SYNOPSIS
       pgmtolispm

       [pgmfile]

DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pgmtolispm reads a PGM image as input and produces a Lisp Machine bitmap
       as output.

       This  is  the file format read by the tv:read-bit-array-file function on
       TI Explorer and Symbolics lisp machines.

       Given a PGM (instead of a PBM), pgmtolispm outputs a multi-plane  image.
       This is probably not useful unless you have a color lisp machine.

       Multi-plane bitmaps on lisp machines are color; but the lispm image file
       format  does  not  include a color map, so we must treat it as a graymap
       instead.  This is unfortunate.

OPTIONS
       There are no command line options defined specifically  for  pgmtolispm,
       but  it recognizes the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
       (See ]8;;index.html#commonoptions\ Common Options]8;;\ .)

SEE ALSO
       lispmtopgm(1), pgm(1)

LIMITATIONS
       Output width is always rounded up to the nearest multiple  of  32;  this
       might  not always be what you want, but it probably is (arrays which are
       not modulo 32 cannot be passed to the Lispm BITBLT  function,  and  thus
       cannot easily be displayed on the screen).

       No color.
