For example, you can't abbreviate -ext and you can't put +it anywhere on the line you want. + + +.UN description +.SH DESCRIPTION +.PP +This program is part of +.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c +\&. +.PP +\fBpnmquantall\fP takes a bunch of Netpbm image files as input, chooses +\fIncolors\fP colors to best represent all of the images, maps the +existing colors to the new ones, and \fBoverwrites the input +files\fP with the new quantized versions. +.PP +If you don't want to overwrite your input files, use the +\fB-ext\fP option. The output files are then named the same as the +input files, plus a period and the extension text you specify. +.PP +The purpose is this: Let's say you've got a dozen PPMs that you want to +display on the screen all at the same time. Your screen can only display 256 +different colors, but the PPMs have a total of a thousand or so different +colors. For a single image you solve this problem +with \fBpnmquant\fP; \fBpnmquantall\fP solves it for multiple images. +.PP +Note that another approach to this problem is to pre-select a set +of colors and then use \fBpnmremap\fP to separately quantize each PPM +to that set.) +.PP +This is a rather simple program that runs \fBpnmcolormap\fP and +\fBpnmremap\fP. If you are considering using it in a program of any +sophistication, you should probably just run those programs directly. +Even if you are typing it, you may want to do the steps manually because +it gives you access to the various options of \fBpnmcolormap\fP and +\fBpnmremap\fP for doing the quantization differently. + + +.UN options +.SH OPTIONS +.PP +\fBpnmquantall\fP recognizes the following command line option: + + +.TP +\fB-ext\fP \fIextension\fP +Specify an extension for the output files.
