NAME¶
rawtoppm - convert raw RGB bytes into a portable pixmap
SYNOPSIS¶
rawtoppm [-headerskip N] [-rowskip N]
[-rgb|-rbg|-grb |-gbr|-brg|-bgr ]
[-interpixel|-interrow] width height [imagedata]
DESCRIPTION¶
Reads raw RGB bytes as input. Produces a portable pixmap as output. The input
file is just RGB bytes. You have to specify the width and height on the
command line, since the program obviously can't get them from the file. The
maxval is assumed to be 255. If the resulting image is upside down, run it
through pnmflip -tb .
OPTIONS¶
- -headerskip
- If the file has a header, you can use this flag to skip over it.
- -rowskip
- If there is padding at the ends of the rows, you can skip it with this
flag.
- -rgb -rbg -grb -gbr -brg -bgr
- These flags let you specify alternate color orders. The default is
-rgb.
- -interpixel -interrow
- These flags let you specify how the colors are interleaved. The default is
-interpixel, meaning interleaved by pixel. A byte of red, a byte of
green, and a byte of blue, or whatever color order you specified.
-interrow means interleaved by row - a row of red, a row of green,
a row of blue, assuming standard rgb color order. An -interplane
flag - all the red pixels, then all the green, then all the blue - would
be an obvious extension, but is not implemented. You could get the same
effect by splitting the file into three parts (perhaps using dd),
turning each part into a PGM file with rawtopgm, and then combining them
with rgb3toppm.
