RASTTOPBM

NAME

      rasttopbm - convert a Sun raster file into a portable bitmap

SYNOPSIS

      rasttopbm [rastfile]

DESCRIPTION

      Reads a Sun raster file as input.  Produces a portable bitmap as
      output.  NOTE: since it uses Sun-specific include files and libraries,
      pbmtorast will compile only on Suns.
      Using this program you can convert anything you can see on a Sun
      screen into a pbm bitmap.  Just display whatever you're interested in,
      do a screendump, run it through rasttopbm, and then use pnmcut to
      select the part you want.
      The rasttoppm filter handles color images in addition to providing the
      same functionality as rasttopbm; but rasttopbm is worth keeping, since
      it is significantly faster.
