ilbmtoppm

NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

This program is part of Netpbm.

ilbmtoppm reads an IFF ILBM file as input and produces a PPM image as output. ilbmtoppm can handle the following ILBM types:

• Normal ILBMs with 1-16 planes.
• Amiga Extra_Halfbrite (EHB)
• Amiga HAM with 3-16 planes.
• 24 bit.
• Multiplatte (normal or HAM) pictures.
• Color map (BMHD + CMAP chunk only, nPlanes = 0).
• Unofficial direct color. 1-16 planes for each color component.

ilbmtoppm uses these ILBM chunks: BMHD, CMAP, CAMG (only HAM & EHB flags used), PCHG, BODY unofficial DCOL chunk to identify direct color ILBM. It ignores these chunks: GRAB, DEST, SPRT, CRNG, CCRT, CLUT, DPPV, DRNG, EPSF. It ignores, but displays in verbose mode, these: NAME, AUTH, (c), ANNO, DPI. It skips chunks whose type it doesn't recognize.  

OPTIONS

-verbose

Give some information about the ILBM file.

-ignore chunkID

Skip a chunk. chunkID is the 4-letter IFF chunk identifier of the chunk to be skipped.

-isham | -isehb

Treat the input file as a HAM or Extra_Halfbrite picture, even if these flags are not set in the CAMG chunk (or if there is no CAMG chunk).

-adjustcolors

If all colors in the CMAP have a value of less then 16, ilbmtoppm assumes a 4-bit colormap and gives a warning. With this option the colormap is scaled to 8 bits.

LIMITATIONS

The multipalette PCHG BigLineChanges and Huffman decompression code is untested.
