NAME
       pamtouil - convert a PNM or PNM/transparency image into a Motif UIL icon file

SYNOPSIS
       pamtouil [-name=uilname] [pamfile]

       You  may	 abbreviate  any option to its shortest unique prefix.	You may use two hyphens instead of one to delimit an
       option.	You may separate an option from its value with whitespace instead of =.

DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pamtouil reads a PNM or PAM image as input and produces a Motif UIL icon file as output.	 If the input is PAM, it may
       be either a regular grayscale or color image or grayscale+transparency or color+transparency.  Where the transparency
       channel is present, pamtouil renders pixels that are more than half transparent as transparent in the output.

       In the UIL's colormap, pamtouil uses the color names from the RGB database -- the same one ppmmake(1) uses.  Where  a
       color  in  the  input  does  not exactly match one of the colors named in the RGB database, pamtouil uses the closest
       color named in the RGB database.

OPTIONS
       In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably  -quiet,  see	  Common Options  ),
       pamtouil recognizes the following command line option:

       -name
		   Allows you to specify the prefix string which is printed in the
		   resulting UIL output.  If not specified, will default to the filename
		   (without extension) of the ppmfile argument.	 If -name is not
		   specified and no ppmfile is specified (i.e. piped input), the
		   prefix string will default to the string "noname".

HISTORY
       Before May 2002, pamtouil was called ppmtouil and had no way to specify transparency.
