NAME

picttoppm - convert a Macintosh PICT file into a portable pixmap  

SYNOPSIS

picttoppm [-verbose] [pictfile]  

DESCRIPTION

Reads a PICT file (version 1 or 2) and outputs a portable pixmap. Useful as the first step in converting a scanned image to something that can be displayed on Unix.  

OPTIONS

-v
Turns on verbose mode which prints a a whole bunch of information that only picttoppm hackers really care about.
 

BUGS

The PICT file format is a general drawing format. picttoppm only supports a small subset of its operations but is still very useful for files produced by scanning software. In particular, text added to a scanned image will be silently ignored.
