pgmtolispm(1)            UNIX System V(06 March 1990)             pgmtolispm(1)


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)

BUGS
      Output width is always rounded up to the nearest multiple of 32; this
      might not always be what you want, but it probably is (arrays which are
      not modulo 32 cannot be passed to the Lispm BITBLT function, and thus
      cannot easily be displayed on the screen).

      No color.
