+.SH NAME
+ppmtoascii - convert a PPM image to ASCII graphics with ANSI terminal color
+

+
+.UN description
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This program is part of
+.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
+\&.
+.PP
+\fBppmtoascii\fP reads a PPM image as input and produces a somewhat
+crude ASCII graphic image as output, with ANSI terminal control characters
+so it has crude color when sent to a color text terminal.
+.PP
+There is no converter for the other direction.
+.PP
+\fBppmtoterm\fP does a similar thing, but displays each character of the
+image as a single pixel (using the same dense character for every pixel),
+whereas \fBppmtoascii\fP combines 2 or 8 pixels into one character, where
+the character roughly represents those particular pixels.
+.PP
+Note that ANSI provides for only eight colors (including black and white).
+.PP
+Note that an ANSI terminal can't display a single character in multiple
+colors, so where a character represents 8 pixels of differing colors, the
+color of the character is one that is the average of the colors of those
+pixels.
+.PP
+\fBpbmtoascii\fP does the same thing for PBM images, with no terminal
+control characters (because none are needed for a strictly black and white
+image).
+

+In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
+(most notably \fB-quiet\fP, see

+ Common Options
+.UE
+\&), \fBppmtoascii\fP recognizes the following
+command line options:
+.PP
+The \fB-1x2\fP and \fB-2x4\fP options give you two alternate ways for the
+pixels to get mapped to characters.  With \fB1x2\fP, the default, each
+character represents a group of 1 pixel across by 2 pixels down.  With
+\fB-2x4\fP, each character represents 2 pixels across by 4 pixels down.
