PPMTOTGA

NAME

      ppmtotga - convert portable pixmap into a TrueVision Targa file

SYNOPSIS

      ppmtotga [-mono|-cmap|-rgb] [-norle] [ppmfile]

DESCRIPTION

      Reads a portable pixmap as input.  Produces a TrueVision Targa file as
      output.

OPTIONS

      -mono
           Forces Targa file to be of type 8 bit monochrome.  Input must be
           a portable bitmap or a portable graymap.
      -cmap
           Forces Targa file to be of type 24 bit colormapped.  Input must
           be a portable bitmap, a portable graymap or a portable pixmap
           containing no more than 256 distinct colors.
      -rgb Forces Targa file to be of type 24 bit unmapped color.
      -norle
           Disables run-length encoding, in case you have a Targa reader
           which can't read run-length encoded files.
      All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.  If no
      file type is specified the most highly constained compatible type is
      used, where monochrome is more constained than colormapped which is in
      turn more constained than unmapped.

BUGS

      Does not support all possible Targa file types.  Should really be in
      PNM, not PPM.
