portable pixmap files
SYNOPSISwinicontoppm [-writeands] [-allicons|-bestqual] [-mul_
tippm] [-verbose] [iconfile] [ppmdestfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a Microsoft Windows .ico file, converts it to one or
more ppms.
A Windows icon contains 1 or more images, at different
resolutions and color depths. Each image has an 'and'
mask, which contains transparancy data.
By default, the output goes to Standard Output. If you
specify ppmdestfile, output goes into one or more files
named as follows. If it's just one file (i.e. you specify
the -multippm option or don't specify -allicons), the file
specification is ppmdestfile.ppm. If it's multiple files,
their file specifications are ppmdestfile_1.ppm, ppmdest_
file_2.ppm, etc.
When you specify the -writeands option, the filenames
above are modified to include the string xor as in
ppmdestfile_xor.ppm or ppmdestfile_xor_1.ppm.
OPTIONS-writeands
For each icon written, also write the 'and'
(transparancy) mask as a seperate PBM file. It's
name is of the form ppmdestfile_and.pbm or ppmdest_
file_and_1.pbm.
-allicons
Extract all images from the .ico file.
-bestqual
Extract only the best quality (largest, then high
est bpp) image from the .ico file.
-multippm
Write all ppms to a single file.
