SYNOPSISppmtopcx [-24bit] [-packed] [-xpos=cols] [-ypos=rows]
[ppmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a PPM image as input. Produces a PCX file as out
put. The type of the PCX file depends on the number of
colors in the pixmap:
16 colors or less:
1 bit/pixel, 1-4 planes.
256 colors or less:
8 bits/pixel, 1 plane, colormap at the end of the
file.
More than 256 colors:
24bit truecolor file (8 bits/pixel, 3 planes).
OPTIONS-24bit Produce a 24bit truecolor file, even if the pixmap
has 256 colors or less.
-packed
Use "packed pixel" format for files with 16 colors
or less: 1, 2, or 4 bits/pixel, 1 plane.
-xpos=cols
-ypos=rows
These options set the position of the image in some
field (e.g. on a screen) in columns to the right of
the left edge and rows below the top edge. The PCX
format contains image position information. Don't
confuse this with the position of an area of inter
est within the image. For example, using pnmpad to
add a 10 pixel left border to an image and then
converting that image to PCX with xpos = 0 is not
the same as converting the original image to PCX
and setting xpos = 10.
The values may be from -32767 to 32768.
The default for each is zero.
