17
18 __ppmtobmp__ [[__-windows__] [[__-os2__]
19 [[__-bpp=__''bits_per_pixel'']
20 [[''ppmfile'']
21 !!DESCRIPTION
22
23
24 Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces a Microsoft
25 Windows or OS/2 BMP file as output.
26 !!OPTIONS
27
28
29 All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique
30 prefix and you can use a double dash in place of the single
31 dash, GNU-style.
32
33
34 __-windows__
35
36
37 Tells the program to produce a Microsoft Windows BMP file.
38 (This is the default.)
39
40
41 __-os2__
42
43
44 Tells the program to produce an OS/2 BMP file. (Before
45 August 2000, this was the default).
46
47
48 __-bpp__
49
50
51 This determines how many bits per pixel you want the BMP
52 file to contain. Only 1, 4, 8, and 24 are possible. By
53 default, __ppmtobmp__ chooses the smallest number with
54 which it can represent all the colors in the input image. If
55 you specify a number too small to represent all the colors
56 in the input image, __ppmtobmp__ tells you and
57 terminates. You can use __ppmquant__ or __ppmdither__
58 to reduce the number of colors in the image.
59 !!NOTES
60
61
62 To get a faithful reproduction of the input image, the
63 maxval of the input image must be 255. If it is something
64 else, __ppmtobmp__ the colors in the BMP file may be
65 slightly different from the colors in the
66 input.
67
68
69 Windows icons are not BMP files. Use __ppmtowinicon__ to
70 create those.
