file
SYNOPSISppmtowinicon [-andpgms] [-output output.ico] [ppmfiles...]
DESCRIPTION
Reads one or more portable pixmaps as input. Produces a Microsoft Win‐
dows .ico file as output.
A Windows icon contains 1 or more images, at different resolutions and
color depths.
Microsoft recommends including at least the following formats in each
icon.
16 x 16 - 4 bpp
32 x 32 - 4 bpp
48 x 48 - 8 bpp
Default I/O is STDIN/STDOUT.
OPTIONS-andpgms
If this option is given, every other file is read as an alpha
mask to be used by windows for transparancy data for the previ‐
ous image. (These are set to blank by default). The alpha mask
is a PGM image, where any value less than or equal to the maxval
means transparent, and anything greater than the maxval means
opaque. Note that as with all Netpbm programs, you may use a
PBM file here and it will be used as if it were the equivalent
PGM.
-output output.ico
File to write. By default, the icon is written to stdout.
