Name

       clt2pbm — convert Consoleet text bitmaps to PBM Portable Bitmap

Syntax

       clt2pbm [[-x scale [-y scale]|-s scale] [file...]

Description

       clt2pbm  takes a Consoleet text bitmap file and converts it to Portable Bitmap (netpbm) P1
       format, optionally upscaling it in the process in either or both dimensions.

       For each file given on the command line, a new file will be created, which has the  ".txt"
       extension  of the original file removed (if any) and ".pbm" appended.  If no filenames are
       given, the program reads from stdin and writes to stdout.

Options

       -s factor
              Scale by the given positive integral factor in both the x and y  directions.   This
              overrides any -x or -y options.

       -x factor
              Scale by the given positive integral factor in the horizontal direction.

       -y factor
              Scale by the given positive integral factor in the vertical direction.

The Consoleet bitmap format

       The Consoleet text bitmap format is very similar to PBM itself. Instead of "P1" as in PBM,
       a CLT file begins with "PCLT" on the first line. In the second line, width and  height  of
       the  bitmap  in  pixels  is  given.  What  follow  is the bitmap data: Each "off" pixel is
       represented by the 2-character string ".." or "  "  (any  space  character  considered  by
       isspace(3)).  Each  "on"  pixel  is  represented  by  any  other  2-character string — for
       contrast, a "large" character is usually chosen, such  as  '#'.  Each  row  of  pixels  is
       terminated by a newline, like in PBM.
