NAME

       pamtable - print the raster as a table of numerical sample values

SYNOPSIS

       pamtable

       [-tuple] [-hex]

       [netpbmfile]

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pamtable  prints  the raster of a Netpbm image as a table of numerical sample values.  For
       example, a 5-pixel wide, 2-pixel high rainbow (black, red, green, blue, white)  PPM  image
       with maxval 255 would appear as follows:

               0   0   0|255   0   0|  0 255   0|  0   0 255|255 255 255
               0   0   0|255   0   0|  0 255   0|  0   0 255|255 255 255

       There are other output formats possible.  See the command line options.

       If you care to see only certain rows or columns, use pamcut to filter the input.

       If you care to see only certain planes, use pamchannel to filter the input.

       pamtable  prints  vertical bars between tuples, unless there is only one sample per tuple,
       in which case it prints a single space between tuples.

       pamtable prints a single space between samples within a tuple.

       For each sample, pamtable prints the numerical value from the Netpbm image, uninterpreted.
       It prints it in decimal, right justified in the minimum number of spaces required to print
       the maxval of the image.

       If you want the samples to print more densely, use pamdepth to  reduce  the  maxval  (thus
       making the decimal numbers for the samples narrower).

       The  less  program  (not  part of Netpbm) is good for browsing through the table.  Use its
       --chop-long-lines option and use cursor movement keys to scroll around in the image.

ARGUMENTS

       The only possible argument is the name of the file  containing  the  input  Netpbm  image.
       This is optional; if you don't specify any arguments, the input comes from Standard Input.

OPTIONS

       In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet,
       see
        Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), pamtable recognizes  the  following  command
       line options:

       -tuple Print the tuple values in mathematical tuple notation, like this:

                      (0, 0, 0) (255, 0, 0) (0, 255, 0) (0, 0, 255) (255, 255, 255)
                      (0, 0, 0) (255, 0, 0) (0, 255, 0) (0, 0, 255) (255, 255, 255)

              This option was new in Netpbm 10.11.00 (September 2022).

       -hex   Display sample values in hexadecimal instead of decimal.

              This option is not valid with -tuple.

              This option was new in Netpbm 10.11.00 (September 2022).

       -verbose

              Print additional messages about the processing.
