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.
