NAME
       pgmtolispm - convert a PGM image to Lisp Machine format

SYNOPSIS
       pgmtolispm

       [pgmfile]

DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pgmtolispm reads a PGM image as input and produces a Lisp Machine 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.

OPTIONS
       There  are  no  command line options defined specifically for pgmtolispm, but it recognizes the options common to all
       programs based on libnetpbm (See	 Common Options .)

SEE ALSO
       lispmtopgm(1), pgm(1)

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

       No color.
