NAME
       ppmtoxpm - convert a portable pixmap into an X11 pixmap

SYNOPSIS
       ppmtoxpm [-name	<xpmname>]  [-rgb <rgb-textfile>] [<ppm-
       file>]

DESCRIPTION
       Reads a portable pixmap as  input.   Produces  X11  pixmap
       (version 3) as output which can be loaded directly by the
       XPM library.

       The -name option allows one to specify the  prefix  string
       which  is  printed  in  the  resulting XPM output.  If not
       specified, will default to the  filename (without  exten-
       sion)  of  the <ppmfile> argument.  If -name is not speci-
       fied and <ppmfile> is not specified  (i.e.  piped  input),
       the prefix string will default to the string "noname".

       The -rgb option allows one to specify an X11 rgb text file
       for the lookup of color name  mnemonics. This	rgb  text
       file  is typically the /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt of the MIT X11
       distribution, but any file using the same  format  may  be
       used.   When  specified and a RGB value from the ppm input
       matches a RGB value from the <rgb-textfile>, then the cor-
       responding  color  name	mnemonic  is printed in the XPM's
       colormap.  If -rgb is not specified, or if the RGB  values
       don't match, then the color will be printed with the #RGB,
       #RRGGBB, #RRRGGGBBB, or #RRRRGGGGBBBB hexadecimal  format.

       All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique pre-
       fix.

       For  example,  to  convert  the	file  "dot"   (found   in
       /usr/include/X11/bitmaps), from xbm to xpm one could spec-
       ify

	      xbmtopbm dot | ppmtoxpm -name dot

       or, with a rgb text file (in the local directory)

	      xbmtopbm dot | ppmtoxpm -name dot -rgb rgb.txt

BUGS
       An option to match the closest (rather than  exact)  color
       name  mnemonic  from  the  rgb  text  would be a desirable
       enhancement.

       Truncation of the least significant bits of  a  RGB  value
       may  result in nonexact matches when performing color name
       mnemonic lookups.
