Jef Poskanzer's -- Extended Portable Bitmap Toolkit
NetPbm version 1mar94 plus patches
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PBMPLUS is a toolkit for converting various image formats to and from
portable formats, and therefore to and from each other.
In addition to the converters, the package includes some simple tools for
manipulating the portable formats.
The package is broken up into four parts. First is PBM, for bitmaps (1
bit per pixel). Then there is PGM, for grayscale images. Next is PPM,
for full-color images. Last, there is PNM, which does content-independent
manipulations on any of the three internal formats, and also handles
external formats that have multiple types.
Note the parts are upward compatable PGM commands can be used on PBM files
and PNM can be used on any Portable Bitmap Files.
The commands are installed in the ``/usr/local/bin/pbmplus'' directory
via the rpm installable kit. You should add this to your path if you wish
to try them out.
