NAME
       pgmtolispm - convert a portable graymap into Lisp Machine format


SYNOPSIS
       pgmtolispm [pgmfile]


DESCRIPTION
       Reads a portable graymap as input.  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) a multi-plane image will be output.  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.


SEE ALSO
       lispmtopgm(1), pgm(5)


BUGS
       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.
