NAME
       pnmtofits - convert a portable anymap into FITS format

SYNOPSIS
       pnmtofits [-max f] [-min f] [pnmfile]

DESCRIPTION
       Reads  a	 portable  anymap  as  input.  Produces a FITS (Flexible Image
       Transport System) file as output.  The resolution of the output file is
       either 8 bits/pixel, or 16 bits/pixel, depending on the value of maxval
       in the input file.  If the input file is a portable bitmap or a	porta‐
       ble  graymap, the output file consists of a single plane image (NAXIS =
       2). If instead the input file is a portable  pixmap,  the  output  file
       will  consist  of  a three-plane image (NAXIS = 3, NAXIS3 = 3).	A full
       description of the FITS format can be found in Astronomy & Astrophysics
       Supplement Series 44 (1981), page 363.

OPTIONS
       Flags  -min  and	 -max  can be used to set DATAMAX, DATAMIN, BSCALE and
       BZERO in the FITS header, but do not cause the data to be rescaled.
