16 This program is part of Netpbm(1).
17
18 ppmtopjxl reads a PPM image as input and produces a PCL file suitable
19 for printing on an HP PaintJet XL printer as output.
20
21 The generated file is not suitable for printing on a normal PrintJet
22 printer. The -nopack option generates a file which does not use the
23 normal TIFF 4.0 compression method and thus might be printable on a
24 normal PaintJet printer (not an XL).
25
26
28 In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
29 (most notably -quiet, see
30 Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), ppmtopjxl recognizes the
31 following command line options:
32
33
34
35
36 -nopack
37
38 Generate a file which does not use the normal TIFF 4.0 compres‐
39 sion method. This file might be printable on a normal PaintJet
40 printer (not an XL).
41
42
43 -gamma
44
45 Set the gamma correction for the image. The useful range for the
46 PaintJet XL is approximately 0.6 to 1.5.
47
48
49 -dither, -cluster, -diffuse
50
51 Alter the rendering algorithm used for images. These options
52 select ordered dithering, clustered ordered dithering, or error
53 diffusion respectively.
54
55
56 -dark
57
58 Enhance images with a dark background when they are reduced in
59 size.
60
61
62 -presentation
63
64 Turn on presentation mode, in which two passes are made over the
65 paper to increase ink density. You should use this only for
66 images where quality is critical.
67
68
69 -xsize, -ysize
70
71 Resize the image. The parameter to either of these options is
72 interpreted as the number of dots to set the width or height to,
73 but you may append an optional dimension of `pt' (points), `dp'
74 (decipoints), `in' (inches), or `cm' (centimetres). If you
75 specify only one dimension, ppmtopjxl will scale the other one
76 appropriately.
77
78
79 -width, -height
80
81 Synonyms of -xsize and -ysize.
82
83
84 -xscale, -yscale
85
86 Alternatives to -xsize and -ysize. Scale the image by a simple
87 factor.
88
89
90 -xshift, -yshift
91
92 Shift the image on the page. These move the image the specified
93 dimensions right and down.
