ppmtopcx
[-24bit] [-packed] [ppmfile]
Reads a portable pixmap as input.
Produces a PCX file as output. The type of the PCX file depends on the
number of colors in the pixmap:
- 16 colors or less:
- 1 bit/pixel, 1-4 planes.
- 256 colors or less:
- 8 bits/pixel, 1 plane, colormap at the end of the file.
- More than 256 colors:
- 24bit truecolor file (8 bits/pixel, 3 planes).
- -24bit
- Produce a 24bit truecolor file, even if the pixmap has 256 colors or less.
- -packed
- Use "packed pixel" format for files with 16 colors or less: 1, 2,
or 4 bits/pixel, 1 plane.
