- pbmtoascii(1) AMIGA (20 March 1992) pbmtoascii(1)
-

-
- NAME
- pbmtoascii - convert a portable bitmap into ASCII graphics
-
- SYNOPSIS
- pbmtoascii [-1x2|-2x4] [pbmfile]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Reads a portable bitmap as input. Produces a somewhat crude
- ASCII graphic as output.
-
- Note that there is no asciitopbm tool - this transformation
- is one-way.
-
- OPTIONS
- The -1x2 and -2x4 flags give you two alternate ways for the
- bits to get mapped to characters. With 1x2, the default,
- each character represents a group of 1 bit across by 2 bits
- down. With -2x4, each character represents 2 bits across by
- 4 bits down. With the 1x2 mode you can see the individual
- bits, so it's useful for previewing small bitmaps on a non-
- graphics terminal. The 2x4 mode lets you display larger
- bitmaps on a standard 80-column display, but it obscures
- bit-level details. 2x4 mode is also good for displaying
- graymaps - "pnmscale -width 158 | pgmnorm | pgmtopbm
- -thresh" should give good results.
