DESCRIPTION

16       This program is part of Netpbm(1).
17
18       pamtosrf  reads  a  Netpbm  image stream as input and produces a an SRF
19       image file as output.  I don't know exactly what SRF is, but on popular
20       use  of  it  is  in  Garmin vehicle information files, which tell a GPS
21       receiver how to depict a vehicle on its display.
22
23       An SRF file can contain multiple images; each image  in  a  multi-image
24       Netpbm input stream becomes one image in the SRF.
25
26       pamtosrf  does  not care how many images there are or what their dimen‐
27       sions or content are.  However, a Garmin vehicle information  file  has
28       specific  requirements, so if you don't make your Netpbm input conform,
29       neither will your SRF output.  For such a file,  you  should  have  two
30       image: the first for 3D oblique views of the vehicle and the second for
31       overhead views.  Each image is a horizontal concatenation of 36  square
32       images, each rotated 10 degrees from the previous, thereby covering the
33       full 360 degree circle.  You could create this concatenation with  pnm‐
34       cat -lr and you could create the invidual views with pnmrotate.
35
36       One  way  to use pamtosrf is to get an SRF file, convert it to PAM with
37       srftopam, manipulate it, then convert it back with pamtosrf.
38
39       netpbmfile is the input stream, which defaults to Standard Input.  Out‐
40       put is always on Standard Output.

OPTIONS

45       In  addition  to  the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
46       (most notably -quiet, see
47        Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), pamtosrf  recognizes  the
48       following command line option:

53              Issue  informational messages about the input and the conversion
54              process.
