Ximtoppm User Manual(1) General Commands Manual Ximtoppm User Manual(1) NAME ximtoppm - convert an Xim file to a PPM image SYNOPSIS ximtoppm [--alphaout={alpha-filename,-}] [ximfile] DESCRIPTION This program is part of Netpbm(1). ximptoppm reads an Xim file as input and produces a PPM image as out- put. The Xim toolkit is included in the contrib tree of the X.V11R4 release. OPTIONS In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), ximtoppm recognizes the following command line option: You can abbreviate any option to its shortest unique prefix. --alphaout=alpha-filename ximtoppm creates a PGM file containing the transparency channel values in the input image. If the input image doesn't contain a transparency channel, the alpha-filename file contains all zero (transparent) transparency values. If you don't specify --al- phaout, ximtoppm does not generate a transparency file, and if the input image has a transparency channel, ximtoppm simply dis- cards it. If you specify - as the filename, ximtoppm writes the transpar- ency output to Standard Output and discards the image. Actually, an Xim image can contain an arbitrary fourth channel -- it need not be a transparency channel. ximtoppm extracts any fourth channel it finds as described above; it doesn't matter if it is a transparency channel or not. See pamcomp(1) for one way to use the transparency output file. SEE ALSO pamcomp(1), ppm(1) AUTHOR Copyright (C) 1991 by Jef Poskanzer.
