PROGRAM:
NAME
pngtopnm - convert a Portable Network Graphics file into portable anymap
SYNOPSIS
pngtopnm [-verbose] [-alpha | -mix] [-background color]
[-gamma value] [-text file] [-time] [pngfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a Portable Network Graphics as input. Produces a portable anymap as output. The
type of the output file depends on the input file - if it's black & white, a pbm file is
written, else if it's grayscale a pgm file, else a ppm file.
OPTIONS
-verbose
Display the format of the input file and the type of the output file. If the chunks
are part of the png-file, the alpha, transparency and gamma-values will be
indicated.
-alpha Output the alpha channel or transparency mask of the image. The result is either a
pbm file or pgm file, depending on whether different levels of transparency appear.
-mix Compose the image with the transparency or alpha mask against a the background.
When a background chunk is available that color is taken, else black will do.
-background color
If no background color chunck is present in the png-file, or when another color is
required this parameter can be used to set the background color of images. This is
especially useful for alpha-channel images or those with transparency chunks. The
format, to specify the color in, is either (in the case of orange) "1.0,0.5,0.0",
where the values are floats between zero and one, or with the syntax "#RGB",
"#RRGGBB" or "#RRRRGGGGBBBB" where R, G and B are hexa-decimal numbers.
-gamma value
Converts the image to a new display-gamma value. When a gAMA chunk is present in
the png-file, the image-gamma value will be used. When not, the image-gamma is
considered to be 1.0. Based on the image-gamma and the display-gamma given with
this option the colors written to the pnm-file will be adjusted.
Because the gamma's of uncompensated monitors are around 2.6, which results in an
image-gamma of 0.45, some typical situations are: when the image-gamma is 0.45 (use
-verbose to check) and the picture is too light, your system is gamma-corrected, so
convert with "-gamma 1.0". When no gAMA chunk is present or the image-gamma is
1.0, use 2.2 to make the picture lighter and 0.45 to make the picture darker.
-text file
Writes the tEXt and zTXt chunks to a file, in a format as described in the pnmtopng
man-page. These chunks contain text comments or annotations.
-time Prints the tIME chunk to stderr.
All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.
