NAME
pamtopdbimg - convert a Netpbm image to a Palm Pilot Image Viewer PDB Image
SYNOPSIS
pamtopdbimg
[-notefile=filename]
[-title=text]
[-compressed]
[-uncompressed]
[-maybecompressed]
[-4depth]
[netpbmfile]
DESCRIPTION
This program is part of
Netpbm(1).
pamtopdbimg reads a Netpbm image as input and produced a Palm Pilot
Image Viewer image (and Image record in a PDB file) as output.
If the Netpbm image is black and white, the Pilot image is monochrome.
Otherwise, the Pilot image is either 4-level or 16-level grayscale, depending
on the -4depth option.
OPTIONS
In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
(most notably -quiet, see
Common Options
), pamtopdbimg recognizes the following
command line options:
- -title=text
-
The title of the image, to be included in the image.
- -compressed
-
- -uncompressed
-
- -maybecompressed
-
You may specify only one of these.
-compressed says to generate the image in compressed format.
-uncompressed says to generate the image in uncompressed format.
-maybecompressed says to generate whichever format is smaller
(the compression algorithm sometimes actually makes the data larger).
- -4depth
-
This option makes pamtopdbimg create the image in 16-level
grayscale (4 bits per pixel) format. If you don't specify this,
pamtopdbimg uses 4-level (2 bits per pixel) format.
This option has no effect when the input is black and white
(maxval 1). In that case, pamtopdbimg generates the monochrome
(1 bit per pixel) format regardless.
- -notefile=filename
-
Attach the note in the specified file to the image.
If you don't specify this, pamtopdbimg does not attach any note.

dates back to September 1997.
