NAME
ppmtopjxl - convert a PPM image to an HP PaintJet XL PCL file
SYNOPSIS
ppmtopjxl [-nopack] [-gamma n] [-presentation] [-dark] [-diffuse]
[-cluster] [-dither] [-xshift s] [-yshift s] [-xshift s] [-yshift s]
[{-xsize|-width|-xscale} s] [{-ysize|-height|-yscale} s] [ppmfile]
DESCRIPTION
This program is part of Netpbm(1).
ppmtopjxl reads a PPM image as input and produces a PCL file suitable
for printing on an HP PaintJet XL printer as output.
The generated file is not suitable for printing on a normal PrintJet
printer. The -nopack option generates a file which does not use the
normal TIFF 4.0 compression method and thus might be printable on a
normal PaintJet printer (not an XL).
OPTIONS
In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
(most notably -quiet, see
Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), ppmtopjxl recognizes the
following command line options:
-nopack
Generate a file which does not use the normal TIFF 4.0 compres-
sion method. This file might be printable on a normal PaintJet
printer (not an XL).
-gamma
Set the gamma correction for the image. The useful range for the
PaintJet XL is approximately 0.6 to 1.5.
-dither, -cluster, -diffuse
Alter the rendering algorithm used for images. These options
select ordered dithering, clustered ordered dithering, or error
diffusion respectively.
-dark
Enhance images with a dark background when they are reduced in
size.
-presentation
Turn on presentation mode, in which two passes are made over the
paper to increase ink density. You should use this only for im-
ages where quality is critical.
-xsize, -ysize
Resize the image. The parameter to either of these options is
interpreted as the number of dots to set the width or height to,
but you may append an optional dimension of `pt' (points), `dp'
(decipoints), `in' (inches), or `cm' (centimetres). If you
specify only one dimension, ppmtopjxl will scale the other one
appropriately.
-width, -height
Synonyms of -xsize and -ysize.
-xscale, -yscale
Alternatives to -xsize and -ysize. Scale the image by a simple
factor.
-xshift, -yshift
Shift the image on the page. These move the image the specified
dimensions right and down.
