SYNOPSIS

       pnmtosgi

       [-imagename Name]

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pnmtosgi  reads  a  PNM  image as input and produces an SGI image file as output.  The SGI
       image will be 2-dimensional (1 channel) for  PBM  and  PGM  input,  and  3-dimensional  (3
       channels) for PPM.

OPTIONS

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

       -verbatim
              Write an uncompressed file.

       -rle (default)
              Write a compressed (run length encoded) file.

       -imagename name
              Write the string "name" into the imagename field of the header.  The name string is
              limited to 79 characters.  If no name is given, pnmtosgi writes "no name" into this
              field.
