NAME
       pcxtoppm - convert a PCX file into a PPM image

SYNOPSIS
       pcxtoppm [-stdpalette] [-verbose] [pcxfile]

DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pcxtoppm reads a PCX file as input and produces a PPM image as output.

       pcxtoppm recognizes the following PCX types:

       ·      Colormapped files with 2-16 colors.

	      'Packed  pixel'  format  (1, 2 or 4 bits/pixel, 1 plane) or bit‐
	      plane format (1 bit/pixel, 1-4 planes).  The program uses a pre‐
	      defined  standard	 palette  if  the  image does not provide one.
	      'Does not provide one' means the palette in the  PCX  header  is
	      completely black.

       ·      Colormapped files with 256 colors.

	      8 bits/pixel, 1 plane, colormap at the end of the file.

       ·      24bit truecolor files.

	      24bit RGB: 8 bits/pixel, 3 planes.

       ·      32bit truecolor files.

	      24bit RGB + 8bit intensity: 8 bits/pixel, 4 planes.

OPTIONS
       -stdpalette
	      This  option causes pcxtoppm to use its predefined standard pal‐
	      ette even if the PCX image provides its own.  This is meaningful
	      only for an image in the 16 color paletted PCX format.

	      The  image  may appear to provide its own palette but in fact be
	      created by a program too primitive to understand	palettes  that
	      created a random palette by accident.
