SYNOPSIS

10       ppmtopjxl  [-nopack]  [-gamma  n]  [-presentation]  [-dark]  [-diffuse]
11       [-cluster] [-dither] [-xshift s] [-yshift s] [-xshift  s]  [-yshift  s]
12       [{-xsize|-width|-xscale} s] [{-ysize|-height|-yscale} s] [ppmfile]

DESCRIPTION

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).

OPTIONS

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.
