NAME

pnmtorast - convert a PPM into a Sun rasterfile

SYNOPSIS

pnmtorast [-standard|-rle] [pnmfile]

DESCRIPTION

This program is part of Netpbm(1).

pnmtorastreads a PPM image as input and produces a Sun rasterfile as output.

Color values in Sun rasterfiles are eight bits wide, so pnmtorast will automatically scale colors to have a maxval of 255. An extra pamdepth step is not necessary.

OPTIONS

In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see
Common Options ), pnmtorast recognizes the following command line options:

All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.

-standard

Forces the result to be in RT_STANDARD form.

-rle

Forces the result to be in RT_BYTE_ENCODED, which is smaller but, well, less standard.

The default is -rle.
