NAME

   pgmtolispm - convert a PGM image to Lisp Machine format

SYNOPSIS

   pgmtolispm [pgmfile]

DESCRIPTION

   This program is part of Netpbm.

   pgmtolispm  reads a PGM image as input and produces a Lisp Ma-
chine bitmap as
   output.

   This is the file format  read  by  the  tv:read-bit-array-file
function on TI
   Explorer and Symbolics lisp machines.

   Given  a  PGM  (instead of a PBM), pgmtolispm outputs a multi-
plane image. This
   is probably not useful unless you have a color lisp machine.

   Multi-plane bitmaps on lisp machines are color; but the  lispm
image file
   format  does not include a color map, so we must treat it as a
graymap
   instead. This is unfortunate.

SEE ALSO

   lispmtopgm, pgm

LIMITATIONS

   Output width is always rounded up to the nearest  multiple  of
32; this might
   not	always be what you want, but it probably is (arrays which
are not modulo
   32 cannot be passed to the Lispm  BITBLT  function,	and  thus
cannot easily be
   displayed on the screen).

   No color.
