pcxtoppm - convert a PCX file into a portable pixmap |
pcxtoppm [-stdpalette] [pcxfile] |
Reads a PCX file as input. Produces a portable pixmap as output. Supported PCX types are: |
Colormapped files with 2-16 colors. |
"Packed pixel" format (1, 2 or 4 bits/pixel, 1 plane) or bitplane format (1 bit/pixel, 1-4 planes). The program checks the colormap and uses an internal one if the provided colormap is completely black. |
Colormapped files with 256 colors |
8 bits/pixel, 1 plane, colormap at the end of the file. |
24bit truecolor files |
24bit RGB: 8 bits/pixel, 3 planes. |
32bit truecolor files |
24bit RGB + 8bit intensity: 8 bits/pixel, 4 planes. |
-stdpalette |
Enforce the use of the internal colormap for files with 16 colors or less. |
