NAME

       ppmtopjxl - convert a PPM image to an HP PaintJet XL PCL file

SYNOPSIS

       ppmtopjxl  [-nopack]  [-gamma  n]  [-presentation] [-dark] [-diffuse] [-cluster] [-dither]
       [-xshift  s]  [-yshift  s]   [-xshift   s]   [-yshift   s]   [{-xsize|-width|-xscale}   s]
       [{-ysize|-height|-yscale} s] [ppmfile]

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       ppmtopjxl  reads  a PPM image as input and produces a PCL file suitable for printing on an
       HP PaintJet XL printer as output.

       The generated file is not suitable for printing on a normal PrintJet printer.  The -nopack
       option generates a file which does not use the normal TIFF 4.0 compression method and thus
       might be printable on a normal PaintJet printer (not an XL).

OPTIONS

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

       -nopack

              Generate a file which does not use the normal TIFF  4.0  compression  method.  This
              file might be printable on a normal PaintJet printer (not an XL).

       -gamma

              Set  the  gamma  correction  for the image. The useful range for the PaintJet XL is
              approximately 0.6 to 1.5.

       -dither, -cluster, -diffuse

              Alter the rendering algorithm  used  for  images.   These  options  select  ordered
              dithering, clustered ordered dithering, or error diffusion respectively.

       -dark

              Enhance images with a dark background when they are reduced in size.

       -presentation

              Turn  on presentation mode, in which two passes are made over the paper to increase
              ink density.  You should use this only for images where quality is critical.

       -xsize, -ysize

              Resize the image.  The parameter to either of these options is interpreted  as  the
              number  of  dots  to  set  the  width  or height to, but you may append an optional
              dimension  of  `pt'  (points),  `dp'   (decipoints),   `in'   (inches),   or   `cm'
              (centimetres).   If  you specify only one dimension, ppmtopjxl will scale the other
              one appropriately.

       -width, -height

              Synonyms of -xsize and -ysize.

       -xscale, -yscale

              Alternatives to -xsize and -ysize.  Scale the image by a simple factor.

       -xshift, -yshift

              Shift the image on the page.  These move the image the specified  dimensions  right
              and down.
