Linux / Unix Command: pgmtolispm

Command Library

NAME

pgmtolispm - convert a portable graymap into Lisp Machine format  

SYNOPSIS

pgmtolispm [pgmfile]  

DESCRIPTION

Reads a portable graymap as input. Produces a Lisp Machine bitmap as output.

This is the file format read by the tv:read-bit-array-file function on TI Explorer and Symbolics lisp machines.

Given a pgm (instead of a pbm) a multi-plane image will be output. This is probably not useful unless you have a color lisp machine.

Multi-plane bitmaps on lisp machines are color; but the lispm image file format does not include a color map, so we must treat it as a graymap instead. This is unfortunate.  

SEE ALSO

lispmtopgm(1), pgm(5)
