ppmtopict(1) AMIGA (15 April 1990) ppmtopict(1)
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.
