DESCRIPTION

20       This program is part of Netpbm(1).
21
22       pamtopdbimg reads a Netpbm image as input and produced a Palm Pilot Im‐
23       age Viewer image (and Image record in a PDB file) as output.
24
25       If the Netpbm image is black and white, the Pilot image is  monochrome.
26       Otherwise, the Pilot image is either 4-level or 16-level grayscale, de‐
27       pending on the -4depth option.

OPTIONS

32       In addition to the options common to all programs  based  on  libnetpbm
33       (most notably -quiet, see
34        Common  Options  ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩  ), pamtopdbimg recognizes
35       the following command line options:
36
37
38
39
40       -title=text
41              The title of the image, to be included in the image.
42
43
44       -compressed
45
46       -uncompressed
47
48       -maybecompressed
49              You may specify only one of these.  -compressed says to generate
50              the  image in compressed format.  -uncompressed says to generate
51              the image in uncompressed format.  -maybecompressed says to gen‐
52              erate  whichever  format  is  smaller (the compression algorithm
53              sometimes actually makes the data larger).
54
55
56       -4depth
57              This option makes  pamtopdbimg  create  the  image  in  16-level
58              grayscale (4 bits per pixel) format.  If you don't specify this,
59              pamtopdbimg uses 4-level (2 bits per pixel) format.
60
61              This option has no effect when the  input  is  black  and  white
62              (maxval  1).  In that case, pamtopdbimg generates the monochrome
63              (1 bit per pixel) format regardless.
64
65
66       -notefile=filename
67              Attach the note in the specified file to the image.
68
69              If you don't specify this, pamtopdbimg does not attach any note.
70
71
72       -fixedtime
73              Fake the mtime and ctime vaues in the PDB  image  with  a  value
74              that  is  the same every time you run the program.  This facili‐
75              tates testing and verification because it means  with  the  same
76              input you always get the same output.
77
78              This option was new in Netpbm 10.98 (March 2022).

HISTORY

88       pamtopdbimg  was new in Netpbm 10.52 (September 2010).  It was modelled
89       after Eric A. Howe's imgvtopbm package, which dates back  to  September
90       1997.
