pnmtosgi - convert a portable anymap to a SGI image file


SYNOPSIS

       pnmtosgi [-verbatim|-rle] [-imagename Name] [pnmfile]


DESCRIPTION

       Reads  a  portable  anymap as input. Produces an SGI image
       file as output.  The SGI image will  be  2-dimensional  (1
       channel) for PBM and PGM input, and 3-dimensional (3 chan­
       nels) for PPM.


OPTIONS

       -verbatim
              Write an uncompressed file.

       -rle (default)
              Write a compressed (run length encoded) file.

       -imagename name
              Write the string "name" into the imagename field of
              the header.  The name string is limited to 79 char­
              acters.  If no name is given, pnmtosgi  writes  "no
              name" into this field.


BUGS

       Probably.
