SYNOPSIS

       ppmdither [-dim power] [-red shades] [-green shades] [-blue shades] [ppmfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads  a  portable  pixmap  as  input, and applies dithering to it to reduce the number of
       colors used down to the specified number of shades for each primary.  The  default  number
       of shades is red=5, green=9, blue=5, for a total of 225 colors.  To convert the image to a
       binary rgb format suitable for color printers, use -red 2 -green 2 -blue 2.

OPTIONS

       -dim power    The size of the dithering matrix.  The dithering matrix is  a  square  whose
                     dimension is a power of 2.  power is that power of 2.  The default is 4, for
                     a 16 by 16 matrix.
