The output is formatted for color printing, +e.g. for a DEC LJ250 color inkjet printer. +.PP +If RGB values from the PPM file do not have maxval=100, +\fBppmtosixel\fP rescales them to maxval 100. A printer control +header and a color assignment table begin the SIX file. Image data is +in a compressed format by default. A printer control footer ends the +image file. + +.UN lbAE +.SH OPTIONS + + +.TP +\fB-raw\fP +If you specify this, each pixel will be explicitly described in +the image file. If \fB-raw\fP is not specified, output will default +to compressed format in which identical adjacent pixels are replaced +by "repeat pixel" commands. A raw file is often an order of +magnitude larger than a compressed file and prints much slower. + +.TP +\fB-margin\fP +If you don't specify \fB-margin\fP, the image will start at the +left margin (of the window, paper, or whatever). If you \fIdo\fP +specify \fB-margin\fP, a 1.5 inch left margin will offset the image. + + + +.UN lbAF +.SH PRINTING +.PP +Generally, sixel files must reach the printer unfiltered. +Use the lpr -x option or \fBcat filename > /dev/tty0?\fP. + +.UN lbAG +.SH LIMITATIONS + +Upon rescaling, truncation of the least significant bits of RGB values +may result in poor color conversion. If the original PPM maxval was +greater than 100, rescaling also reduces the image depth. While the +actual RGB values from the ppm file are more or less retained, the +color palette of the LJ250 may not match the colors on your screen. +This seems to be a printer limitation. + +.UN lbAH +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR "ppm" (5)\c +\& + +.UN lbAI +.SH AUTHOR + +Copyright (C) 1991 by Rick Vinci. +.SH DOCUMENT SOURCE +This manual page was generated by the Netpbm tool 'makeman' from HTML +source.
