DESCRIPTION

66       These library functions are part of Netpbm(1).
67
68
69   TYPES AND CONSTANTS
70       Each  gray should contain only the values between 0 and PGM_OVERALLMAX‐
71       VAL.
72
73       PGM_OVERALLMAXVAL is the maximum value of  a  maxval  in  a  PGM  file.
74       PGM_MAXMAXVAL  is  the  maximum value of a maxval in a PGM file that is
75       compatible with the PGM format as it existed before April 2000.  It  is
76       also the maximum value of a maxval that results in the minimum possible
77       raster size for a particular image.  I.e an image with a maxval  higher
78       than  PGM_MAXMAXVAL  cannot  be read or generated by old PGM processing
79       programs and requires more file space.
80
81       PGM_FORMAT  is the format code for  a  Plain  PGM  format  image  file.
82       RPGM_FORMAT  is  the  format  code  for  a  Raw  PGM format image file.
83       PGM_TYPE  is the format type code for the PGM formats.  PGM_FORMAT_TYPE
84       is a macro that generates code to compute the format type code of a PBM
85       or PGM format from the format code which is its argument.
86
87
88   INITIALIZATION
89       pgm_init() is obsolete (at least since Netpbm 9.25 (March 2002)).   Use
90       pm_proginit() ⟨libpm.html#initialization⟩  instead.
91
92       pgm_init() is identical to pm_proginit.
93
94
95
96   MEMORY MANAGEMENT
97       pgm_allocarray() allocates an array of grays.
98
99       pgm_allocrow() allocates a row of the given number of grays.
100
101       pgm_freearray()  frees  the  array allocated with pgm_allocarray() con‐
102       taining the given number of rows.
103
104       pgm_freerow() frees a row of grays allocated with pgm_allocrow().
105
106
107   READING FILES
108       If a function in this section is called on a PBM format file, it trans‐
109       lates  the  PBM  file into a PGM file on the fly and functions as if it
110       were called on the equivalent PGM file.  The format value  returned  by
111       pgm_readpgminit()  is,  however,  not  translated.   It  represents the
112       actual format of the PBM file.
113
114       pgm_readpgminit() reads the header of a PGM  file,  returning  all  the
115       information  from the header and leaving the file positioned just after
116       the header.
117
118       pgm_readpgmrow() reads a row of grays into the grayrow
119        array.   format,  cols,  and  maxval   are  the  values  returned   by
120       pgm_readpgminit().
121
122       pgm_readpgm()  reads  an  entire  PGM  image into memory, returning the
123       allocated array as its return value and returning the information  from
124       the   header  as  rows,  cols,  and  maxval.   This  function  combines
125       pgm_readpgminit(), pgm_allocarray(), and pgm_readpgmrow().
126
127       pgm_readpgminit() and pgm_readpgm abort the program with a  message  to
128       Standard  Error  if  the  PGM  image header is not syntactically valid,
129       including if it contains a number too large to be processed  using  the
130       system's normal data structures (to wit, a number that won't fit in a C
131       'int').
132
133
134
135   WRITING FILES
136       pgm_writepgminit() writes the header for a PGM file and leaves it posi‐
137       tioned just after the header.
138
139       forceplain is a logical value that tells pgm_writepgminit()  to write a
140       header for a plain PGM format file, as opposed  to  a  raw  PGM  format
141       file.
142
143       pgm_writepgmrow() writes the row grayrow to a PGM file.  For meaningful
144       results, cols, maxval, and forceplain must be the same as was used with
145       pgm_writepgminit().
146
147       pgm_writepgm()  write  the  header  and all data for a PGM image.  This
148       function combines pgm_writepgminit() and pgm_writepgmrow().
149
150
151   MISCELLANEOUS
152       pgm_nextimage() positions a PGM input file to the next image in it  (so
153       that a subsequent pgm_readpgminit() reads its header).
154
155       pgm_nextimage()  is  analogous to pbm_nextimage(), but works on PGM and
156       PBM files.
157
158       pgm_check()  checks for the common file integrity error where the  file
159       is the wrong size to contain all the image data.
160
161       pgm_check()   is  analogous  to  pbm_check(),  but works on PGM and PBM
162       files.
