NAME
       pnmremap - replace colors in a PPM image with colors from another set

SYNOPSIS
       pnmremap [-floyd|-fs|-nfloyd|-nofs] [-firstisdefault] [-verbose] [-map‐
       file=mapfile] [-missingcolor=color] [pnmfile]

       All options can be abbreviated to their shortest	 unique	 prefix.   You
       may use two hyphens instead of one to designate an option.  You may use
       either white space or an equals sign between an	option	name  and  its
       value.

DESCRIPTION
       pnmremap	 replaces  the colors in an input image with those from a col‐
       ormap you specify.  Where a color in the input is not in the  colormap,
       you  have three choices: 1) choose the closest color from the colormap;
       2) choose the first color from the colormap; 3) use a  color  specified
       by a command option.  (In this latter case, if the color you specify is
       not in your color map, the output will  not  necessarily	 contain  only
       colors from the colormap).

       Two  reasons to do this are: 1) you want to reduce the number of colors
       in the input image; and 2) you need to feed the image to something that
       can handle only certain colors.

       To  reduce  colors,  you	 can  generate	the colormap with ppmcolormap.
       Example:

       ppmcolormap testimg.ppm 256 >colormap.ppm
       ppmremap -map=colormap.ppm testimg.ppm
       >reduced_testimg.ppm

       To limit colors to a certain set, a typical example  is	to  create  an
       image  for posting on the World Wide Web, where different browsers know
       different colors.  But all browsers are supposed to know the  216  "web
       safe"  colors which are essentially all the colors you can represent in
       a PPM image with a maxval of 5.	So you can do this:

       ppmcolors 5 >websafe.ppm
       ppmremap -map=webafe.ppm testimg.ppm >websafe_testimg.ppm

       The output image has the same type and maxval as the map file.

PARAMETERS
       There is one parameter, which is required:  The	file  specifcation  of
       the input PNM file.

       OPTIONS

       -floyd -fs  -nofloyd -nofs These options determine whether Floyd-Stein‐
	      berg dithering is done.  Without Floyd-Steinberg, the  selection
	      of  output  color	 of  a pixel is based on the color of only the
	      corresponding input pixel.  With Floyd-Steinberg, multiple input
	      pixels are considered so that the average color of an area tends
	      to stay more the same than without Floyd-Steinberg.   For	 exam‐
	      ple,  if	you  map  an image with a black, gray, gray, and white
	      pixel adjacent, through a	 map  that  contains  only  black  and
	      white,  it  might	 result	 in  an output of black, black, white,
	      white.  Pixel-by-pixel mapping would instead map both  the  gray
	      pixels to the same color.

	      -fs is a synomym for -floyd.  -nofs is a synonym for -nofloyd.

	      The default is -nofloyd.

       -firstisdefault
	      This  affects what happens with a pixel in the input image whose
	      color is not in the map file.  If you specify neither  -firstis‐
	      default  nor  -missingcolor, pnmremap chooses for the output the
	      color in the map which is closest to the	color  in  the	input.
	      With  -firstisdefault,  pnmremap instead uses the first color in
	      the colormap.

	      If you specify -firstisdefault, the maxval of  your  input  must
	      match the maxval of your colormap.

       -missingcolor=color
	      This  affects what happens with a pixel in the input image whose
	      color is not in the map file.  If you specify neither  -firstis‐
	      default  nor  -missingcolor, pnmremap chooses for the output the
	      color in the map which is closest to the	color  in  the	input.
	      With  -missingcolor,  pnmremap uses color.  color need not be in
	      the colormap.

	      If you specify -missingcolor, the	 maxval	 of  your  input  must
	      match the maxval of your colormap.

       -verbose
	      Display helpful messages about the mapping process.
