Pfmtopam User Manual(1)

NAME
pfmtopam - Convert PFM (Portable Float Map) image to Netpbm format

SYNOPSIS
pfmtopam [-maxval=n] [-verbose] [imagefile]

All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix. You may use two hyphens instead of one. You may separate an option name and its value with white space instead of an equals sign.

DESCRIPTION

This program is part of Netpbm(1) .

pfmtopam reads a PFM (Portable Float Map) image and converts it to PAM.

See pamtopfm(1) for a description of PFM.

If you want one of the older, more portable Netpbm formats, run the output through pamtopnm.

pamtopfm creates a PAM with tuple type "RGB" or "GRAYSCALE" depending on whether or not the PFM is in the color subformat.

Use pamtopfm(1) to convert a PFM image to Netpbm format.

OPTIONS

In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see
 Common Options index.html#commonoptions ), pfmtopam recognizes the following command line options:

-maxval=n

    This specifies the maxval for the PAM. Default is 255.

-verbose

    This causes pfmtopam to display messages describing
         the PFM input file.
