NAME

   pcxtoppm - convert a PCX file into a portable pixmap

SYNOPSIS

   pcxtoppm [-stdpalette] [-verbose] [pcxfile]

DESCRIPTION

   Reads  a  PCX  file  as  input.   Produces a portable pixmap as output.
   Supported PCX types are:

   Colormapped files with 2-16 colors.
          "Packed pixel" format  (1,  2  or  4  bits/pixel,  1  plane)  or
          bitplane  format  (1 bit/pixel, 1-4 planes).  The program checks
          the colormap and uses an internal one if the  provided  colormap
          is completely black.

   Colormapped files with 256 colors
          8 bits/pixel, 1 plane, colormap at the end of the file.

   24bit truecolor files
          24bit RGB: 8 bits/pixel, 3 planes.

   32bit truecolor files
          24bit RGB + 8bit intensity: 8 bits/pixel, 4 planes.

OPTIONS

   -stdpalette
          Enforce  the  use  of  the  internal  colormap for files with 16
          colors or less.
