SYNOPSIS

10       pnmtoddif [-resolution x y] [pnmfile [ddiffile]]

DESCRIPTION

14       This program is part of Netpbm(1).
15
16       pnmtoddif takes a PNM image and converts it into a DDIF image file.
17
18       pnmtoddif  writes  PBM format (bitmap) data as a 1 bit DDIF, PGM format
19       data (grayscale) as an 8 bit grayscale DDIF,  and  PPM  format  (color)
20       data  as an 8,8,8 bit color DDIF.  pnmtoddif writes any DDIF image file
21       uncompressed.  The data plane organization is interleaved by pixel.
22
23       In addition to the number of pixels in the width and height  dimension,
24       DDIF images also carry information about the size that the image should
25       have, that is, the physical space that a pixel occupies.  Netpbm images
26       do  not carry this information, hence you have to supply it externally.
27       The default of 78 dpi has the beneficial  property  of  not  causing  a
28       resize on most Digital Equipment Corporation color monitors.
