13 lispmtopgm - convert a Lisp Machine bitmap file into pgm format
14 !!SYNOPSIS
15
16
17 __lispmtopgm__ [[''lispmfile'']
18 !!DESCRIPTION
19
20
21 Reads a Lisp Machine bitmap as input. Produces a portable
22 graymap as output.
23
24
25 This is the file format written by the
26 tv:write-bit-array-file function on TI Explorer and
27 Symbolics lisp machines.
28
29
30 Multi-plane bitmaps on lisp machines are color; but the
31 lispm image file format does not include a color map, so we
32 must treat it as a graymap instead. This is
33 unfortunate.

38 !!BUGS
39
40
41 The Lispm bitmap file format is a bit quirky; Usually the
42 image in the file has its width rounded up to the next
43 higher multiple of 32, but not always. If the width is not a
44 multiple of 32, we don't deal with it properly, but because
45 of the Lispm microcode, such arrays are probably not image
46 data anyway.
47
48
49 Also, the lispm code for saving bitmaps has a bug, in that
50 if you are writing a bitmap which is not mod32 across, the
51 file may be up to 7 bits too short! They round down instead
52 of up, and we don't handle this bug gracefully.
53
54
55 No color.
