NAME
pamtopdbimg - convert a Netpbm image to a Palm Pilot Image Viewer PDB
Image
SYNOPSIS
pamtopdbimg
[-notefile=filename] [-title=text] [-compressed] [-uncompressed] [-may-
becompressed] [-4depth]
[netpbmfile]
DESCRIPTION
This program is part of Netpbm(1).
pamtopdbimg reads a Netpbm image as input and produced a Palm Pilot Im-
age Viewer image (and Image record in a PDB file) as output.
If the Netpbm image is black and white, the Pilot image is monochrome.
Otherwise, the Pilot image is either 4-level or 16-level grayscale, de-
pending on the -4depth option.
OPTIONS
In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
(most notably -quiet, see
Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), pamtopdbimg recognizes
the following command line options:
-title=text
The title of the image, to be included in the image.
-compressed
-uncompressed
-maybecompressed
You may specify only one of these. -compressed says to generate
the image in compressed format. -uncompressed says to generate
the image in uncompressed format. -maybecompressed says to gen-
erate whichever format is smaller (the compression algorithm
sometimes actually makes the data larger).
-4depth
This option makes pamtopdbimg create the image in 16-level
grayscale (4 bits per pixel) format. If you don't specify this,
pamtopdbimg uses 4-level (2 bits per pixel) format.
This option has no effect when the input is black and white
(maxval 1). In that case, pamtopdbimg generates the monochrome
(1 bit per pixel) format regardless.
-notefile=filename
Attach the note in the specified file to the image.
If you don't specify this, pamtopdbimg does not attach any note.

after Eric A. Howe's imgvtopbm package, which dates back to September
1997.
