NAME

rasttopbm - convert a Sun raster file into a portable bitmap

SYNOPSIS

rasttopbm [rastfile]

DESCRIPTION

Reads a Sun raster file as input.  Produces a portable bitmap as output.  NOTE: since it uses Sun-specific include files and libraries, pbmtorast will compile only on Suns. 

Using this program you can convert anything you can see on a Sun screen into a pbm bitmap.  Just display whatever you’re interested in, do a screendump, run it through rasttopbm, and then use pnmcut to select the part you want. 

The rasttoppm filter handles color images in addition to providing the same functionality as rasttopbm; but rasttopbm is worth keeping, since it is significantly faster.
