Use +.BR "\fBpamditherbw\fP" (1)\c +\& to do +what this program used to do. +.PP +\fBpgmtopbm\fP never was the simple converter it appeared to be. +It was a dithering program. Unfortunately, it didn't do the dithering +properly because it treated the PGM input samples as if they were +directly proportional to light intensity, but they are actually +gamma-adjusted. +.PP +\fBpamditherbw\fP is backward compatible with \fBpgmtopbm\fP +except that it + +.IP \(bu +does the correct gamma adjustments. +.IP \(bu +produces PAM output instead of PBM. (Modern Netpbm programs that +accept PBM input also accept PAM input, but if you need actual PBM, +you can use \fBpamtopnm\fP with \fBpamditherbw\fP). + +So use the manual for \fBpamditherbw\fP for \fBpgmtopbm\fP, except +ignore anything that says it was added after Netpbm Release 10.23 +and ignore any options that are not shown in the synopsis above. +.PP +Although \fBpgmtopbm\fP is mostly obsolete, the simple threshold +method (specified by \fB-threshold\fP) is an exception. Unlike the +other conversion methods, gamma-adjustment is not an issue with +simple thresholding and \fBpgmtopbm\fP can produce PBM output +directly. Note that even in this basic mode of operation +\fBpgmtopbm\fP may produce output which is slightly different from +what \fBpamditherbw\fP does because of differences in internal +calculation. +.PP +If you just want to convert a PGM image with maxval 1 to PBM, +use +.BR "\fBpamtopnm\fP" (1)\c +\&. + +.UN seealso +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR "pamditherbw" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pamtopnm" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pbmtopgm" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pamthreshold" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pbmreduce" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pgm" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pbm" (1)\c +\& + +.UN author +.SH AUTHOR + +Copyright (C) 1989 by Jef Poskanzer. +.SH DOCUMENT SOURCE +This manual page was generated by the Netpbm tool 'makeman' from HTML +source.
