Otherwise, +it is PBM. Before Netpbm 10.53 (December 2010), the program would not work +on a Depth=8 icon. +.PP +If the input is color, the output is still PGM (the program can't do +any better because developers haven't figured out how). If you know the +palette used by the Sun icon image, you can use \fBpamlookup\fP to +convert the PGM output to the proper color Netpbm image. + + +.UN sunicons +.SH ABOUT SUN ICONS +.PP +It seems that this icon format was used in Sunview and was usable in its +successor Openlook/Openwindows in Sun 4.1.1, which offered backward +compatibility for Sunview, including the icons. Sunview's desktop was +monochrome. OpenWindows had color icons. Sun 4 came with OpenWindows. +OpenWindows appears to have been an X-based gui so presumably the icons were +mostly XPM files. +.PP +So in addition to \fBsunicontopnm\fP, you should try \fBxpmtoppm\fP and +\fBxbmtopbm\fP on icons from a Sun Workstation. + + +.UN seealso +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR "pbmtosunicon" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "winicontoppm" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "xpmtoppm" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "xbmtopbm" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "infotopam" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pbm" (5)\c +\& +.BR "pgm" (5)\c +\& + +.UN history +.SH HISTORY +.PP +Jef Poskanzer wrote the program under the name \fBicontopbm\fP in 1988. +.PP +In October 2010, Prophet Of The Way (afu@wta.att.ne.jp) converted it to use +the more recent "packed PBM" library functions, thus speeding it up +.PP +Netpbm 10.53 (December 2010) renamed the program to \fBsunicontopnm\fP. +This name reflects the fact that there are lots of kinds of icons in the world +besides the Sun variety, Windows ones being most popular. It also takes +into account the new Depth=8 capability (see below). +.PP +Netpbm 10.53 (December 2010) added the ability to work with Depth=8 +icon input and input with 32 bit "items." Whereas the previous +program always produced PBM output, the new program produced PGM in the +Depth=8 case. +.SH DOCUMENT SOURCE +This manual page was generated by the Netpbm tool 'makeman' from HTML +source.
