NAME
ppmtolss16 --- Convert a PPM to an LSS16 imageSYNOPSIS
ppmtolss16 [ #rrggbb=i ...] [< input.ppm] [> output.rle]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the ppmtolss16 command.
The ppmtolss16 program converts a "raw" PPM file with max 16 colors to a simple RLE-based format:
simple RLE-based format
| unint32 0x1413f3d | magic (littleendian) |
| unint16 xsize | littleendian |
| unint15 ysize | littleendian |
| 16 x unint8 r,g,b | color map |
Color map is in 6-bit format (each byte is 0..63)
Then, a sequence of nybbles:
N ... if N is != previous pixel, one pixel of color N, otherwise run sequence follows ...
M ... if M > 0 then run length is M+1, otherwise run sequence is encoded in two nybbles, littleendian, +17
The nybble sequences are on a per-row basis, runs may not extend across rows and odd-nybble rows are zero-padded.
At the start of a row, the "previous pixel" is assumed to be zero.
OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below.
- #rrggbb=i
-
Specify that the color #rrggbb (hex) should be assigned index
i (decimal).
BUG
This program cannot handle comments in the header, nor "plain" ppm format.
