If you get a whole bunch of "bad code word" messages when you try +to read the G3 file (e.g. with \fBg3topbm\fP), try using this option. +Note that the output is not G3 when you use this option. + +.TP +\fB-nofixedwidth\fP +Most fax machines expect the image to be 1728 columns wide, so +\fBpbmtog3\fP cuts the output to this width by default. If you want to +keep the width of the original image, use this option. +.sp +This option was new in Netpbm 10.6 (July 2002). Before that, +\fBpbmtog3\fP always kept the width of the original image. + +.TP +\fB-align8\fP +.TP +\fB-align16\fP +These options say to align output rows to 8-bit or 16-bit boundaries, +respectively, by adding padding bits in front of EOL codes +.sp +Without these options, \fBpbmtog3\fP adds no padding and rows may begin +and ends anywhere within a byte. +.sp +You cannot specify both. +.sp +These options were new in Netpbm 10.79 (June 2017). + + + +.UN seealso +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR "g3topbm" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pamtotiff" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pbm" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "fax formats" (1)\c +\& + +.UN history +.SH HISTORY +.PP +Before Netpbm 10.79 (June 2017), there was a different program by the same +name in Netpbm, which was written by Paul Haeberli +<\fIpaul@manray.sgi.com\fP> in 1989 +and then modified extensively by others. +.PP +Akira Urushibata <afu@wta.att.ne.jp> wrote the current version, with +an entirely different algorithm, in April 2017 and contributed his work to the +public domain. +.PP +The current program is backward compatible with the pre-10.79 version. +.SH DOCUMENT SOURCE +This manual page was generated by the Netpbm tool 'makeman' from HTML +source.
