pbmtoascii (1)
convert a portable bitmap into ASCII graphics
SYNOPSIS
pbmtoascii
[ -1x2 | -2x4 ]
[ pbmfile ]
DESCRIPTION
OPTIONS
The
-1x2
and
-2x4
flags give you two alternate ways for the bits to get mapped to characters.
With
1x2 ,
the default, each character represents a group of 1 bit across by 2 bits down.
With
-2x4 ,
each character represents 2 bits across by 4 bits down.
With the 1x2 mode you can see the individual bits, so it's useful for
previewing small bitmaps on a non-graphics terminal.
The 2x4 mode lets you display larger bitmaps on a standard 80-column display,
but it obscures bit-level details.
2x4 mode is also good for displaying
graymaps - "pnmscale -width 158 | pgmnorm | pgmtopbm -thresh"
should give good results.
