NAME

       pgmtolispm - convert a PGM image to Lisp Machine format

SYNOPSIS

       pgmtolispm

       [pgmfile]

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pgmtolispm reads a PGM image as input and produces a Lisp Machine bitmap as output.

       This  is  the  file  format read by the tv:read-bit-array-file function on TI Explorer and
       Symbolics lisp machines.

       Given a PGM (instead of a PBM), pgmtolispm outputs a multi-plane image.  This is  probably
       not useful unless you have a color lisp machine.

       Multi-plane  bitmaps  on lisp machines are color; but the lispm image file format does not
       include a color map, so we must treat it as a graymap instead.  This is unfortunate.

OPTIONS

       There are no command line options defined specifically for pgmtolispm, but  it  recognizes
       the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (See
        Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ .)

SEE ALSO

       lispmtopgm(1), pgm(1)

LIMITATIONS

       Output  width is always rounded up to the nearest multiple of 32; this might not always be
       what you want, but it probably is (arrays which are not modulo 32 cannot be passed to  the
       Lispm BITBLT function, and thus cannot easily be displayed on the screen).

       No color.
