19 This program is part of Netpbm(1).
20
21 pamtable prints the raster of a Netpbm image as a table of numerical
22 sample values. For example, a 5-pixel wide, 2-pixel high rainbow
23 (black, red, green, blue, white) PPM image with maxval 255 would appear
24 as follows:
25
26
27
28 0 0 0|255 0 0| 0 255 0| 0 0 255|255 255 255
29 0 0 0|255 0 0| 0 255 0| 0 0 255|255 255 255

34 There are other output formats possible. See the command line options.
35
36 If you care to see only certain rows or columns, use pamcut to filter
37 the input.
38
39 If you care to see only certain planes, use pamchannel to filter the
40 input.
41
42 pamtable prints vertical bars between tuples, unless there is only one
43 sample per tuple, in which case it prints a single space between tu‐
44 ples.
45
46 pamtable prints a single space between samples within a tuple.
47
48 For each sample, pamtable prints the numerical value from the Netpbm
49 image, uninterpreted. It prints it in decimal, right justified in the
50 minimum number of spaces required to print the maxval of the image.
51
52 If you want the samples to print more densely, use pamdepth to reduce
53 the maxval (thus making the decimal numbers for the samples narrower).
54
55 The less program (not part of Netpbm) is good for browsing through the
56 table. Use its --chop-long-lines option and use cursor movement keys
57 to scroll around in the image.

62 The only possible argument is the name of the file containing the input
63 Netpbm image. This is optional; if you don't specify any arguments,
64 the input comes from Standard Input.

69 In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
70 (most notably -quiet, see
71 Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), pamtable recognizes the
72 following command line options:
73
74
75
76 -tuple Print the tuple values in mathematical tuple notation, like
77 this:
78
79
80
81 (0, 0, 0) (255, 0, 0) (0, 255, 0) (0, 0, 255) (255, 255, 255)
82 (0, 0, 0) (255, 0, 0) (0, 255, 0) (0, 0, 255) (255, 255, 255)

88
89
90 -hex Display sample values in hexadecimal instead of decimal.
91
92 This option is not valid with -tuple.
