Fstopgm User Manual(1) General Commands Manual Fstopgm User Manual(1) NAME fstopgm - convert a Usenix FaceSaver(tm) file into a PGM image SYNOPSIS fstopgm [fsfile] DESCRIPTION This program is part of Netpbm(1). fstopgm reads a Usenix FaceSaver(tm) file as input and produces a PGM image as output. FaceSaver(tm) files sometimes have rectangular pixels. While fstopgm won't re-scale them into square pixels for you, it will give you the precise pamscale command that will do the job. Because of this, read- ing a FaceSaver(tm) image is a two-step process. First you do: fstopgm > /dev/null This will tell you whether you need to use pamscale. Then use one of the following pipelines: fstopgm | pnmnorm fstopgm | pamscale -whatever | pnmnorm To go to PBM, you want something more like one of these: fstopgm | pamenlarge 3 | pnmnorm | pamditherbw fstopgm | pamenlarge 3 | pamscale <whatever> | pnmnorm | pamditherbw You want to enlarge when going to a bitmap because otherwise you lose information; but enlarging by more than 3 does not look good.
