NAME
pamtouil - convert a PNM or PNM/transparency image into a Motif UIL
icon file
SYNOPSIS
pamtouil [-name=uilname] [pamfile]
You may abbreviate any option to its shortest unique prefix. You may
use two hyphens instead of one to delimit an option. You may separate
an option from its value with whitespace instead of =.
DESCRIPTION
This program is part of Netpbm(1).
pamtouil reads a PNM or PAM image as input and produces a Motif UIL
icon file as output. If the input is PAM, it may be either a regular
grayscale or color image or grayscale+transparency or color+transpar-
ency. Where the transparency channel is present, pamtouil renders pix-
els that are more than half transparent as transparent in the output.
In the UIL's colormap, pamtouil uses the color names from the RGB data-
base -- the same one ppmmake(1) uses. Where a color in the input does
not exactly match one of the colors named in the RGB database, pamtouil
uses the closest color named in the RGB database.
OPTIONS
In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
(most notably -quiet, see
Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), pamtouil recognizes the
following command line option:
-name
Allows you to specify the prefix string which is printed in
the
resulting UIL output. If not specified, will default to
the filename
(without extension) of the ppmfile argument. If -name is
not
specified and no ppmfile is specified (i.e. piped input),
the
prefix string will default to the string "noname".

HISTORY
Before May 2002, pamtouil was called ppmtouil and had no way to specify
transparency.
