14 !!SYNOPSIS

17 __ppmtopict__ [[''ppmfile'']
18 !!DESCRIPTION
19
20
21 Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces a Macintosh PICT
22 file as output.
23
24
25 The generated file is only the data fork of a picture. You
26 will need a program such as ''mcvert'' to generate a
2 perry 27 Macbinary or a !BinHex file that contains the necessary
1 perry 28 information to identify the file as a PICT file to
29 MacOS.

31
32 Even though PICT supports 2 and 4 bits per pixel,
33 ''ppmtopict'' always generates an 8 bits per pixel
34 file.
35 !!BUGS
36
37
38 The picture size field is only correct if the output is to a
39 file since writing into this field requires seeking
40 backwards on a file. However the PICT documentation seems to
41 suggest that this field is not critical anyway since it is
42 only the lower 16 bits of the picture size.
