NAME
       palmtopnm - convert a Palm Bitmap to a PNM image

SYNOPSIS
       palmtopnm

       [-verbose]

       [-rendition N]

       [-showhist] [palmfile] palmtopnm

       -transparent

       [-verbose]

       [palmfile]

DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       palmtopnm reads a Palm Bitmap as input, from Standard Input or palmfile
       and produces a PPM image as output.

       Alternatively (when you specify	-transparent),	palmtopnm  writes  the
       value of the transparent color in the Palm Bitmap to Standard Output.

       Palmtopnm  can  convert Palm Bitmaps with the following features.  This
       does not mean that it doesn't handle other features.   These  are  just
       the ones we found worth mentioning.

       ·      Version 0

       ·      Version 1

       ·      Version 2

       ·      Version 3 (new in Netpbm 10.27 (March 2005))

       ·      Scanline compression

       ·      RLE compression

       ·      Packbits compression (new in Netpbm 10.27 (March 2005))

OPTIONS
       -verbose
	      Display various interesting information about the input file and
	      process.

       -transparent
	      If the Palm Bitmap has a transparent color set, palmtopnm writes
	      the value for that color to Standard Output in the form #RRGGBB,
	      where RR, GG, and BB are two-digit hexadecimal numbers  indicat‐
	      ing a value in the range 0 through 255.  If no transparent color
	      is set in the Bitmap, palmtopnm writes nothing.  palmtopnm  does
	      not generate any output image when you specify -transparent.

       -rendition N
	      Palm  Bitmaps  may  contain  several different renditions of the
	      same image, with different depths.  By default, palmtopnm	 oper‐
	      ates  on	the first rendition (rendition number 1) in the image.
	      This switch allows you to operate on a different rendition.  The
	      value  must  be  between	1  and the number of renditions in the
	      image, inclusive.

       -showhist
	      This option causes palmtopnm to write a histogram of  colors  in
	      the input file to Standard Error.

SEE ALSO
       pnmtopalm(1), pnm(1),

LIMITATIONS
       You  cannot generate an alpha mask if the Palm Bitmap has a transparent
       color.  However, you can still do this with ppmcolormask with a	Netpbm
       pipe similar to:

       palmtopnm  bitmap.palm  |  ppmcolormask	`palmtopnm  -transparent  bit‐
       map.palm`

HISTORY
       Before Netpbm 10.23 (July 2004), there was a -forceplain	 option.   But
       that had been redundant for a long time, since the Netpbm common option
       -plain does the same thing.

AUTHORS
       This program was originally written as Tbmptopnm.c,  by	Ian  Goldberg.
       It  was heavily modified by Bill Janssen to add color, compression, and
       transparency function.
