DESCRIPTION

   TYPES AND CONSTANTS
       Each  gray  should contain only the values between 0 and PGM_OVERALLMAXVAL.  pgm_pbmmaxval
       is the maxval used when a PGM program reads a PBM file.  Normally it is  1;  however,  for
       some programs, a larger value gives better results.

       PGM_OVERALLMAXVAL  is  the  maximum value of a maxval in a PGM file.  PGM_MAXMAXVAL is the
       maximum value of a maxval in a PGM file that is compatible  with  the  PGM  format  as  it
       existed  before  April 2000.  It is also the maximum value of a maxval that results in the
       minimum possible raster size for a particular image.  I.e an image with  a  maxval  higher
       than PGM_MAXMAXVAL cannot be read or generated by old PGM processing programs and requires
       more file space.

       PGM_FORMAT is the format code for a Plain PGM  format  image  file.   RPGM_FORMAT  is  the
       format code for a Raw PGM format image file.  PGM_TYPE is the format type code for the PGM
       formats.  PGM_FORMAT_TYPE is a macro that generates code to compute the format  type  code
       of a PBM or PGM format from the format code which is its argument.

   INITIALIZATION
       All  PGM  programs  must  call pgm_init() just after invocation, before they process their
       arguments.

   MEMORY MANAGEMENT
       pgm_allocarray() allocates an array of grays.

       pgm_allocrow() allocates a row of the given number of grays.

       pgm_freearray() frees the array  allocated  with  pgm_allocarray()  containing  the  given
       number of rows.

       pgm_freerow() frees a row of grays allocated with pgm_allocrow().

   READING FILES
       If  a  function in this section is called on a PBM format file, it translates the PBM file
       into a PGM file on the fly and functions as if it were called on the equivalent PGM  file.
       The format value returned by pgm_readpgminit() is, however, not translated.  It represents
       the actual format of the PBM file.

       pgm_readpgminit() reads the header of a PGM file, returning all the information  from  the
       header and leaving the file positioned just after the header.

       pgm_readpgmrow()  reads  a  row of grays into the grayrow array.  format, cols, and maxval
       are the values returned by pgm_readpgminit().

       pgm_readpgm() reads an entire PGM image into memory, returning the allocated array as  its
       return  value  and  returning  the  information from the header as rows, cols, and maxval.
       This function combines pgm_readpgminit(), pgm_allocarray(), and pgm_readpgmrow().

   WRITING FILES
       pgm_writepgminit() writes the header for a PGM file and leaves it  positioned  just  after
       the header.

       forceplain  is a logical value that tells pgm_writepgminit() to write a header for a plain
       PGM format file, as opposed to a raw PGM format file.

       pgm_writepgmrow() writes the row grayrow to a PGM file.   For  meaningful  results,  cols,
       maxval, and forceplain must be the same as was used with pgm_writepgminit().

       pgm_writepgm()  write  the  header  and  all data for a PGM image.  This function combines
       pgm_writepgminit() and pgm_writepgmrow().

   MISCELLANEOUS
       pgm_nextimage() positions a PGM input file to the next image in it (so that  a  subsequent
       pgm_readpgminit() reads its header).

       pgm_nextimage() is analogous to pbm_nextimage(), but works on PGM and PBM files.

       pgm_check() checks for the common file integrity error where the file is the wrong size to
       contain all the image data.

       pgm_check() is analogous to pbm_check(), but works on PGM and PBM files.
