SYNOPSISxpmtoppm
[--alphaout={alpha-filename,-}] [-verbose]
[xpmfile]
DESCRIPTION
This program is part of Netpbm(1).
xpbtoppm reads an X11 pixmap (XPM version 1 or 3) as input and produces
a PPM image as output.
OPTIONS
--alphaout=alpha-filename
xpmtoppm creates a PBM file containing the transparency mask for
the image. If the input image doesn't contain transparency
information, the alpha-filename file contains all white (opaque)
alpha values. If you don't specify --alphaout, xpmtoppm does
not generate an alpha file, and if the input image has trans‐
parency information, xpmtoppm simply discards it.
If you specify - as the filename, xpmtoppm writes the alpha out‐
put to Standard Output and discards the image.
See pamcomp(1)foronewaytouse the alpha output file.
xpmtoppm can't handle a line longer than 8K characters in the
the XPM input. If an input line exceeds this limit, xpmtoppm
quits with an error message to that effect. Before Netpbm 10.30
(October 2005), the limit was 2K.
--verbose
xpmtoppm prints information about its processing on Standard
Error.
LIMITATIONS
The recogized XPM version 3 features are limited. Comments can only be
single lines and there must be for every pixel a default colorname for
a color type visual.
