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.
