- NAME
- ppmtopict - convert a portable pixmap into a Macintosh PICT
- file
-
- SYNOPSIS
- ppmtopict [ppmfile]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces a Macintosh PICT
- file as output.
-
- The generated file is only the data fork of a picture. You
- will need a program such as mcvert to generate a Macbinary
- or a BinHex file that contains the necessary information to
- identify the file as a PICT file to MacOS.
-
- Even though PICT supports 2 and 4 bits per pixel, ppmtopict
- always generates an 8 bits per pixel file.
-
- BUGS
- The picture size field is only correct if the output is to a
- file since writing into this field requires seeking
- backwards on a file. However the PICT documentation seems
- to suggest that this field is not critical anyway since it
- is only the lower 16 bits of the picture size.
