NAME
ppmtomap - extract all colors from a portable pixmap
SYNOPSIS
ppmtomap
[-sort]
[-square]
[ppmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable pixmap as input.
Produces a portable pixmap as output, representing a color map of the
input file. All N different colors found are put in an Nx1 portable
pixmap.
This color map file can be used as a mapfile for
ppmquant
or
ppmtogif.
OPTIONS
- -sort
-
Produces a portable pixmap with the colors in some sorted order.
- -square
-
Produces a (more or less) square output file, instead of putting all
colors on the top row.
All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.
WARNING
If you want to use the output file as a mapfile for
ppmtogif,
you first have to do a
ppmquant 256,
since
ppmtomap
is not limited to 256 colors (but to 65536).
