<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<p>This program is part of <a href="index.html">Netpbm</a>.
<p>This program is obsolete since Netpbm 10.23 (July 2004). Use <a
href="pamditherbw.html"><b>pamditherbw</b></a> to do what this program
used to do.
<p><b>pgmtopbm</b> never was the simple converter it appeared to be.
It was a dithering program. Unfortunately, it didn't do the dithering
properly because it treated the PGM input samples as if they were
directly proportional to light intensity, but they are actually
gamma-adjusted.
<p><b>pamditherbw</b> is backward compatible with <b>pgmtopbm</b>
except that it
<ul>
<li>does the correct gamma adjustments.
<li>produces PAM output instead of PBM. (Modern Netpbm programs that
accept PBM input also accept PAM input, but if you need actual PBM,
you can use <b>pamtopbm</b> with <b>pamditherbw</b>).
</ul>
So use the manual for <b>pamditherbw</b> for <b>pgmtopbm</b>, except
ignore anything that says it was added after Netpbm Release 10.23
and ignore any options that are not shown in the synopsis above.
<p>If you just want to convert a PGM image with maxval 1 to PBM,
use <a href="pamtopnm.html"><b>pamtopnm</b></a>
