NAME

rasttopbm - convert a Sun raster file into a portable bitmap  

SYNOPSIS

rasttopbm [rastfile]  

DESCRIPTION

Reads a Sun raster file as input. Produces a portable bitmap as output. NOTE: since it uses Sun-specific include files and libraries, pbmtorast will compile only on Suns.

Using this program you can convert anything you can see on a Sun screen into a pbm bitmap. Just display whatever you're interested in, do a screendump, run it through rasfilter8to1 if you're on a color Sun, run it through rasttopbm, and then use pnmcut to select the part you want.

The rasttoppm filter provides the same functionality as rasttopbm in addition to handling color images; but rasttopbm is worth keeping, since it is significantly faster.
