NAME

+pnmquant - quantize the colors in a Netpbm image to a smaller set + + +

SYNOPSIS

+All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix. You +may use two hyphens instead of one to designate an option. You may +use either white space or equals signs between an option name and its +value. + + +

DESCRIPTION

+ +

This program is part of Netpbm. + +

pnmquant reads a PNM image as input. It chooses ncolors +colors to best represent the image, maps the existing colors +to the new ones, and writes a PNM image as output. + +

This program is simply a combination of pnmcolormap and +pnmremap, where the colors of the input are remapped using a +color map which is generated from the colors in that same input. The +options have the same meaning as in those programs. See their +documentation to understand pnmquant. + +

It is much faster to call pnmcolormap and pnmremap +directly than to run pnmquant. You save the overhead of the +Perl interpreter and creating two extra processes. pnmquant is +just a convenience. + +

pnmquant did not exist before Netpbm 9.21 (January 2001). +Before that, ppmquant did the same thing, but only on PPM +images. ppmquant continues to exist, but is only a front end +(for name compatibility) to pnmquant. + + +
