- NAME
- ppmtoxpm - convert a portable pixmap into an X11 pixmap
-
- SYNOPSIS
- ppmtoxpm [-name xpmname] [ppmfile]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces X11 pixmap (XPM)
- as output.
-
- If the program was compiled with an rgb database specified,
- and a RGB value from the ppm input matches a RGB value from
- the database, then the corresponding color name mnemonic is
- printed in the XPM's colormap. If no rgb database was
- compiled in, or if the RGB values don't match, then the
- color will be printed with the #RGB, #RRGGBB, #RRRGGGBBB, or
- #RRRRGGGGBBBB hexadecimal format.
-
- OPTIONS
- -name
- Allows you to specify the prefix string which is
- printed in the resulting XPM output. If not specified,
- will default to the filename (without extension) of the
- ppmfile argument. If -name is not specified and no
- ppmfile is specified (i.e. piped input), the prefix
- string will default to the string "noname".
-
- All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique
- prefix.
-
- EXAMPLE
- To convert the file "dot" (found in
- /usr/include/X11/bitmaps), from xbm to xpm one could specify
-
- xbmtopbm dot | ppmtoxpm -name dot
-
- BUGS
- An option to match the closest (rather than exact) color
- name mnemonic from the rgb text would be a desirable
- enhancement.
-
- Truncation of the least significant bits of a RGB value may
- result in nonexact matches when performing color name
- mnemonic lookups.
