NAME
pnmtoxwd - convert a PNM into an X11 window dump
SYNOPSIS
pnmtoxwd
[-pseudodepth n]
[-directcolor]
[pnmfile]
DESCRIPTION
This program is part of Netpbm(1).
pnmtoxwd reads a PNM image as input and produces an X11 window dump as
output. You can display this output with xwud.
Normally, pnmtoxwd produces a StaticGray dump file for PBM and PGM
files. For PPM, it writes a PseudoColor dump file if there are up to
256 colors in the input, and a DirectColor dump file otherwise.
In an X11 window dump file, various integers can be represented in ei-
ther big endian (most significant byte first) or little endian code.
Those generated by pnmtoxwd are always big endian.
OPTIONS
In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
(most notably -quiet, see ]8;;index.html#commonoptions\ Common Options]8;;\ ), pnmtoxwd recognizes the
following command line options:
-directcolor
Output in DirectColor format.
-pseudodepth 1-16
Set the depth of PseudoColor dump in bits. Values between 1 to
16 are accepted. Default is 8 (for a maximum of 256 colors.)
