NAME
pnmtorast - convert a portable pixmap into a Sun raster-
file
SYNOPSIS
pnmtorast [-standard|-rle] [pnmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces a Sun raster-
file as output.
Color values in Sun rasterfiles are eight bits wide, so
pnmtorast will automatically scale colors to have a maxval
of 255. An extra pnmdepth step is not necessary.
OPTIONS
The -standard flag forces the result to be in RT_STANDARD
form; the -rle flag, RT_BYTE_ENCODED, which is smaller
but, well, less standard. The default is -rle.
All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique pre-
fix.
