SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

15       This program is part of Netpbm(1).
16
17       fstopgm  reads  a Usenix FaceSaver(tm) file as input and produces a PGM
18       image as output.
19
20       FaceSaver(tm) files sometimes have rectangular pixels.   While  fstopgm
21       won't  re-scale  them  into square pixels for you, it will give you the
22       precise pamscale command that will do the job.  Because of this,  read‐
23       ing a FaceSaver(tm) image is a two-step process.  First you do:
24
25         fstopgm > /dev/null
26
27       This will tell you whether you need to use pamscale.
28
29       Then use one of the following pipelines:
30         fstopgm | pnmnorm
31         fstopgm | pamscale -whatever | pnmnorm
32
33       To go to PBM, you want something more like one of these:
34         fstopgm | pamenlarge 3 | pnmnorm | pamditherbw
35         fstopgm | pamenlarge 3 | pamscale <whatever> | pnmnorm | pamditherbw
36
37       You  want  to enlarge when going to a bitmap because otherwise you lose
38       information; but enlarging by more than 3 does not look good.
