.UN description
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
This program is part of
.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
\&.
.PP
\fBpfmtopam\fP reads a PFM (Portable Float Map) image and converts
it to PAM.
.PP
See
.BR "\fBpamtopfm\fP" (1)\c
\& for a description of
PFM.
.PP
If you want one of the older, more portable Netpbm formats, run the
output through \fBpamtopnm\fP.

\fBpamtopfm\fP creates a PAM with tuple type "RGB" or
"GRAYSCALE" depending on whether or not the PFM is in the color
subformat.
.PP
Use
.BR "\fBpamtopfm\fP" (1)\c
\& to convert a PFM
image to Netpbm format.
