Manpages picttoppmSection: User Commands (1)Updated: 29 November 1991 Index Return to Main Contents NAMEpicttoppm - convert a Macintosh PICT file into a portable pixmapSYNOPSISpicttoppm [-verbose] [-fullres] [-noheader] [-quickdraw] [-fontdirfile] [pictfile]DESCRIPTIONReads a PICT file (version 1 or 2) and outputs a portable pixmap. Useful as the first step in converting a scanned image to something that can be displayed on Unix.OPTIONS
BUGSThe PICT file format is a general drawing format. picttoppm does not support all the drawing commands, but it does have full support for any image commands and reasonable support for line, rectangle, polgon and text drawing. It is useful for converting scanned images and some drawing conversion.Memory is used very liberally with at least 6 bytes needed for every pixel. Large bitmap PICT files will likely run your computer out of memory. FONT DIR FILE FORMATpicttoppm has a built in default font and your local installer probably provided adequate extra fonts. You can point picttoppm at more fonts which you specify in a font directory file. Each line in the file is either a comment line which must begin with ``#'' or font information. The font information consists of 4 whitespace spearated fields. The first is the font number, the second is the font size in pixels, the third is the font style and the fourth is the name of a BDF file containing the font. The BDF format is defined by the X window system and is not described here.The font number indicates the type face. Here is a list of known font numbers and their faces.
0 Chicago 1 application font 2 New York 3 Geneva 4 Monaco 5 Venice 6 London 7 Athens 8 San Franciso 9 Toronto 11 Cairo 12 Los Angeles 20 Times Roman 21 Helvetica 22 Courier 23 Symbol 24 Taliesin The font style indicates a variation on the font. Multiple variations may apply to a font and the font style is the sum of the variation numbers which are:
1 Boldface 2 Italic 4 Underlined 8 Outlined 16 Shadow 32 Condensed 64 Extended Obviously the font defintions are strongly related to the Macintosh. More font numbers and information about fonts can be found in Macintosh documentation. SEE ALSOInside Macintosh volumes 1 and 5, ppmtopict(1), ppm(5)AUTHORCopyright 1993 George Phillips
