.UN description
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
This program is part of
.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
\&.
.PP
\fBppmtoilbm\fP reads a PPM image as input. Produces an ILBM file
as output. \fBppmtoilbm\fP understands the following ILBM types:
.IP \(bu
Normal ILBMs with 1-16 planes
.IP \(bu
Amiga HAM with 3-16 planes
.IP \(bu
24 bit
.IP \(bu
Color map (BMHD + CMAP chunk only, nPlanes = 0)
.IP \(bu
Unofficial direct color. 1-16 planes for each color component.
.PP
Chunks written: BMHD, CMAP, CAMG (only for HAM), BODY (not for
colormap files) unofficial DCOL chunk for direct color ILBM.
.UN options
.SH OPTIONS
.PP
Options marked with (*) can be prefixed with a "no",
e.g. "-nohamif". All options can be abbreviated to their
shortest unique prefix.
.TP
\fB-maxplanes\fP | \fB-mp\fP \fIn\fP
(default 5, minimum 1, maximum 16) Maximum planes to write in a
normal ILBM. If the image does not fit into <n> planes,
ppmtoilbm writes a HAM file (if -hamif is used), a 24bit file (if
-24if is used) or a direct color file (if -dcif is used) or aborts
with an error.
.TP
\fB-fixplanes\fP | \fB-fp\fP \fIb\fP
(min 1, max 16) If a normal ILBM is written, it will have exactly
<n> planes.
.TP
\fB-hambits\fP | \fB-hamplanes\fP \fIn\fP
(default 6, min 3, max 16) Select number of planes for HAM
picture. The current Amiga hardware supports 6 and 8 planes, so for
now you should only use this values.
.TP
\fB-normal\fP
Turns off -hamif/-24if/-dcif, -hamforce/-24force/-dcforce and
-cmaponly. Also sets compression type to byterun1.
.sp
This is the default.
.TP
\fB-hamif\fP (*)
.TP
\fB-24if\fP (*)
.TP
\fB-dcif\fP (*)
Write a HAM/24bit/direct color file if the image does not fit into
<maxplanes> planes.
.TP
\fB-hamforce\fP (*)
.TP
\fB-24force\fP (*)
.TP
\fB-dcforce\fP (*)
Write a HAM/24bit/direct color file.
.TP
\fB-dcbits\fP \fIr\fP \fIg\fP \fIb\fP
.TP
\fB-dcplanes\fP \fIr\fP \fIg\fP \fIb\fP
(default 5, min 1, max 16). Select number of bits for red, green
and blue in a direct color ILBM.
.TP
\fB-ecs\fP
Shortcut for: -hamplanes 6 -maxplanes 5
.sp
This is the default.
.TP
\fB-aga\fP
Shortcut for: \fB-hamplanes 8 -maxplanes 8\fP
.TP
\fB-ham6\fP
Shortcut for: \fB-hamplanes 6 -hamforce\fP
.TP
\fB-ham8\fP
Shortcut for: \fB-hamplanes 8 -hamforce\fP
.TP
\fB-compress\fP (*)
This is the default.
Compress the BODY chunk. The default compression method is
byterun1. Compression requires building the ILBM image in memory;
turning compression off allows stream-writing of the image, but the
resulting file will usually be 30% to 50% larger. Another alternative
is the -savemem option, this will keep memory requirements for
compression at a minimum, but is very slow.
.TP
\fB-cmethod\fP \fBnone\fP|\fBbyterun1\fP
This option does the same thing as \fB-compress\fP.
.TP
\fB-map\fP \fIppmfile\fP
Write a normal ILBM using the colors in <ppmfile> as the
colormap. The colormap file also determines the number of planes, a
\fB-maxplanes\fP or \fB-fixplanes\fP option is ignored.
.TP
\fB-cmaponly\fP
Write a colormap file: only BMHD and CMAP chunks, no BODY chunk,
nPlanes = 0.
.TP
\fB-savemem\fP
See the \fB-compress\fP option.
.UN limitations
.SH LIMITATIONS
.PP
HAM pictures will always get a grayscale colormap; a real color
selection algorithm might give better results. On the other hand,
this allows row-by-row operation on HAM images, and all HAM images of
the same depth (no. of planes) share a common colormap, which is
useful for building HAM animations.
