<h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>

<p>These library functions are part of <a href="index.html">Netpbm</a>.

<h3 id="types">TYPES AND CONSTANTS</h3>

<p>Each <b>gray</b> should contain only the values between <b>0</b>
and <b>PGM_OVERALLMAXVAL</b>.

<p><b>PGM_OVERALLMAXVAL</b> is the maximum value of a maxval in a PGM
file.  <b>PGM_MAXMAXVAL</b> is the maximum value of a maxval in a PGM
file that is compatible with the PGM format as it existed before April
2000.  It is also the maximum value of a maxval that results in the
minimum possible raster size for a particular image.  I.e an image
with a maxval higher than <b>PGM_MAXMAXVAL</b> cannot be read or
generated by old PGM processing programs and requires more file space.

<p><b>PGM_FORMAT </b> is the format code for a Plain PGM format image
file.  <b>RPGM_FORMAT</b> is the format code for a Raw PGM format
image file.  <b>PGM_TYPE </b> is the format type code for the PGM
formats.  <b>PGM_FORMAT_TYPE</b> is a macro that generates code to
compute the format type code of a PBM or PGM format from the format
code which is its argument.

<h3 id="initialization">INITIALIZATION</h3>

<p><b>pgm_init()</b> is obsolete (at least since Netpbm 9.25 (March 2002)).
Use <a href="libpm.html#initialization"><b>pm_proginit()</b></a> instead.

<p><b>pgm_init()</b> is identical to <b>pm_proginit</b>.


<h3 id="memorymanagement">MEMORY MANAGEMENT</h3>

<b>pgm_allocarray()</b> allocates an array of grays.

<p><b>pgm_allocrow()</b> allocates a row of the given number of grays.

<p><b>pgm_freearray()</b> frees the array allocated with
<b>pgm_allocarray()</b> containing the given number of rows.

<p><b>pgm_freerow()</b> frees a row of grays allocated with
<b>pgm_allocrow()</b>.

<h3 id="reading">READING FILES</h3>

<p>If a function in this section is called on a PBM format file, it
translates the PBM file into a PGM file on the fly and functions as if
it were called on the equivalent PGM file.  The <i>format</i> value
returned by <b>pgm_readpgminit()</b> is, however, not translated.  It
represents the actual format of the PBM file.

<p><b>pgm_readpgminit()</b> reads the header of a PGM file, returning
all the information from the header and leaving the file positioned
just after the header.

<p><b>pgm_readpgmrow()</b> reads a row of grays into the <i>grayrow
</i> array.  <i>format</i>, <i>cols</i>, and <i>maxval </i> are the
values returned by <b>pgm_readpgminit()</b>.

<p><b>pgm_readpgm()</b> reads an entire PGM image into memory,
returning the allocated array as its return value and returning the
information from the header as <i>rows</i>, <i>cols</i>, and
<i>maxval</i>.  This function combines <b>pgm_readpgminit()</b>,
<b>pgm_allocarray()</b>, and <b>pgm_readpgmrow()</b>.

<p><b>pgm_readpgminit()</b> and <b>pgm_readpgm</b> abort the program with
a message to Standard Error if the PGM image header is not syntactically
valid, including if it contains a number too large to be processed using
the system's normal data structures (to wit, a number that won't fit in
a C 'int').


<h3 id="writing">WRITING FILES</h3>

<b>pgm_writepgminit()</b> writes the header for a PGM file and leaves
it positioned just after the header.

<p><i>forceplain</i> is a logical value that tells
<b>pgm_writepgminit() </b> to write a header for a plain PGM format
file, as opposed to a raw PGM format file.

<p><b>pgm_writepgmrow()</b> writes the row <i>grayrow</i> to a PGM
file.  For meaningful results, <i>cols</i>, <i>maxval</i>, and
<i>forceplain</i> must be the same as was used with
<b>pgm_writepgminit()</b>.

<p><b>pgm_writepgm()</b> write the header and all data for a PGM
image.  This function combines <b>pgm_writepgminit()</b> and
<b>pgm_writepgmrow()</b>.

<h3 id="miscellaneous">MISCELLANEOUS</h3>

<p><b>pgm_nextimage()</b> positions a PGM input file to the next image
in it (so that a subsequent <b>pgm_readpgminit()</b> reads its
header).

<p><b>pgm_nextimage()</b> is analogous to <b>pbm_nextimage()</b>, but
works on PGM and PBM files.

<p><b>pgm_check() </b> checks for the common file integrity error
where the file is the wrong size to contain all the image data.

<p><b>pgm_check() </b> is analogous to <b>pbm_check()</b>, but works
on PGM and PBM files.
