[
-multippm] [

iconfile] [
ppmdestfile]
DESCRIPTION¶
Reads a Microsoft Windows .ico file, converts it to one or more ppms.
A Windows icon contains 1 or more images, at different resolutions and color
depths. Each image has an 'and' mask, which contains transparancy data.
By default, the output goes to Standard Output. If you specify
ppmdestfile, output goes into one or more files named as follows. If
it's just one file (i.e. you specify the
-multippm option or don't
specify
-allicons), the file specification is
ppmdestfile.ppm. If it's multiple files, their file
specifications are
ppmdestfile_1.ppm,
ppmdestfile_2.ppm, etc.
When you specify the
-writeands option, the filenames above are modified
to include the string
xor as in
ppmdestfile_xor.ppm or
ppmdestfile_xor_1.ppm.
winicontoppm can convert images with 1, 4, 8, 24 or 32 bits per pixel
(bpp).
OPTIONS¶
- -writeands
- For each icon written, also write the 'and' (transparancy)
mask as a seperate PBM file. It's name is of the form
ppmdestfile_and.pbm or
ppmdestfile_and_1.pbm.
- -allicons
- Extract all images from the .ico file.
- -bestqual
- Extract only the best quality (largest, then highest bpp)
image from the .ico file.
- -multippm
- Write all ppms to a single file.
