!!NAME


ppmtomap - extract all colors from a portable pixmap
!!SYNOPSIS


__ppmtomap__ [[__-sort__] [[__-square__]
[[''ppmfile'']
!!DESCRIPTION


Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces a portable pixmap
as output, representing a color map of the input file. All N
different colors found are put in an Nx1 portable pixmap.
This color map file can be used as a mapfile for
''ppmquant'' or ''ppmtogif.''
!!OPTIONS


__-sort__


Produces a portable pixmap with the colors in some sorted
order.


__-square__


Produces a (more or less) square output file, instead of
putting all colors on the top row.


All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique
prefix.
!!WARNING


If you want to use the output file as a mapfile for
''ppmtogif,'' you first have to do a ''ppmquant 256,''
since ''ppmtomap'' is not limited to 256 colors (but to
65536).
