The type of the PCX file depends on the number of colors +in the input image: + + +.TP +16 colors or fewer: +1 bit/pixel, 1-4 planes, colormap in header + +.TP +more than 16 colors, but no more than 256: +8 bits/pixel, 1 plane, colormap at the end of the file. + +.TP +More than 256 colors: +24bit truecolor file (8 bits/pixel, 3 planes). + + +.PP +You can override some of that and explicitly choose the format with +the options below. + +.UN options +.SH OPTIONS +.PP +In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm +(most notably \fB-quiet\fP, see +.UR index.html#commonoptions + Common Options +.UE +\&), \fBppmtopcx\fP recognizes the following +command line options: + + +.TP +\fB-24bit\fP +Produce a 24bit truecolor PCX file, even if the image has 256 +colors or fewer. + +.TP +\fB-8bit\fP +Produce an 8bit (256 colors) PCX file, even if the image has 16 +colors or fewer. +.sp +This option was added in Netpbm 10.18 (August 2003). + +.TP +\fB-packed\fP +Use "packed pixel" format for files with 16 colors or +fewer: 1, 2, or 4 bits/pixel, 1 plane. + +.TP +\fB-stdpalette\fP +Instead of computing a palette from the colors in the image, use +a standard, built-in 16 color palette. If the image contains a color +that is not in the standard palette, \fBppmtopcx\fP fails. +.sp +The standard palette is not only a set of colors, but a specific +mapping of palette indexes to colors. E.g. red is 4. +.sp +You can use \fBpnmremap\fP with a suitable PPM image of the standard +palette to adapt your image to use exactly those colors in the palette +so that \fBppmtopcx -stdpalette\fP will work on it. +.sp +The file \fBpcxstd.ppm\fP, part of Netpbm, contains the standard +palette. +.sp +Although the PCX header tells exactly what palette is used in the +file, some older PCX interpreters do not use that information. They +instead assume the standard palette. If you don't use the +\fB-stdpalette\fP option, \fBppmtopcx\fP, \fBppmtopcx\fP may create +an image that uses a different palette (a rearrangement of the same +colors) and then one of these older interpreters would interpret the +colors in the image wrong. +.sp +You cannot specify this option along with \fB-palette\fP. +.sp +This option was new in Netpbm 10.22 (April 2004). + +.TP +\fB-palette=\fP\fIpalettefile\fP +Instead of computing the palette from the colors in the image, use +the palette from the file \fIpalettefile\fP. If the palette contains +a color that is not in that palette, \fBppmtopcx\fP fails. +.sp +The palette file must be a PPM image that contains one pixel for +each color in the palette. It doesn't matter what the aspect ratio +of the palette image is. The order of the colors in the PCX palette +is the order of the pixels in the PPM image in standard western +reading order (left to right, top to bottom). If there is a duplicate +color in the palette, \fBppmtopcx\fP chooses between them arbitrarily +in building the PCX raster. +.sp +You would need this only if you have a PCX reader that can't read +the palette that is in the PCX file and instead assumes some particular +palette. See also the \fB-stdpalette\fP option. +.sp +If your input image might contain colors other than those in your +palette, you can convert the input image to one that contains only +those colors in your palette with \fBpnmremap\fP. +.sp +You cannot specify this along with \fB-stdpalette\fP. +.sp +This option was new in Netpbhm 10.25 (October 2004). + +.TP +\fB-planes=\fP\fIplanes\fP +Generate a PCX file with \fIplanes\fP planes, even though the number +of colors in the image could be represented in fewer. This makes the file +larger, but some PCX interpreters are capable of processing only certain +numbers of planes. +.sp +This is meaningful only when \fBppmtopcx\fP generates an image in +the 16 color palette format without packed pixels. Consequently, you +cannot specify this option together with \fB-24bit\fP or +\fB-8bit\fP or \fB-packed\fP. +.sp +The valid values for \fIplanes\fP are 1, 2, 3, and 4. By default, +\fBppmtopcx\fP chooses the smallest number of planes that can represent +the colors in the image. E.g. if there are 5 colors, \fBppmtopcx\fP +chooses 3 planes. +.sp +This option was new in Netpbm 10.21 (March 2004). + +.TP +\fB-xpos=\fP\fIcols\fP + +.TP +\fB-ypos=\fP\fIrows\fP + These options set the position of the image in some field +(e.g. on a screen) in columns to the right of the left edge and rows +below the top edge. The PCX format contains image position +information. Don't confuse this with the position of an area of +interest within the image. For example, using \fBpnmpad\fP to add a +10 pixel left border to an image and then converting that image to PCX +with xpos = 0 is not the same as converting the original image to PCX +and setting xpos = 10. +.sp +The values may be from -32767 to 32768. +.sp +The default for each is zero. + + + +.UN seealso +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR "pcxtoppm" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "ppm" (5)\c +\& + +.UN authors +.SH AUTHORS + +Copyright (C) 1994 by Ingo Wilken (\fIIngo.Wilken@informatik.uni-oldenburg.de\fP) +.PP +Based on previous work by Michael Davidson. +.SH DOCUMENT SOURCE +This manual page was generated by the Netpbm tool 'makeman' from HTML +source.
