- NAME
- ppmtogif - convert a portable pixmap into a GIF file
-
- SYNOPSIS
- ppmtogif [-interlace] [-sort] [-map mapfile] [-transparent
- color] [ppmfile]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces a GIF file as
- output.
-
- OPTIONS
- -interlace
- Tells the program to produce an interlaced GIF file.
-
- -sort
- Produces a GIF file with a sorted color map.
-
- -map mapfile
-
- Uses the colors found in the mapfile to create the
- colormap in the GIF file, instead of the colors from
- ppmfile. The mapfile can be any ppm file; all that
- matters is the colors in it. If the colors in ppmfile
- do not match those in mapfile , they are matched to a
- "best match". A (much) better result can be obtained by
- using the following filter in advance:
-
- ppmquant -floyd -map mapfile
-
- -transparent color
- Mark the given color as transparent in the GIF file.
- The color is specified as in ppmmake(1). Note that
- this option outputs a GIF89a format file which might
- not be understood by your software.
-
- All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique
- prefix.
