NAME
        ppmtotga - convert portable pixmap into a TrueVision Targa
        file
 
SYNOPSIS
        ppmtotga [-mono|-cmap|-rgb] [-norle] [ppmfile]
 
DESCRIPTION
        Reads a portable pixmap as input.  Produces  a  TrueVision
        Targa file as output.
 
OPTIONS
        -mono  Forces  Targa  file to be of type 8 bit monochrome.
               Input must be  a  portable  bitmap  or  a  portable
               graymap.
 
        -cmap  Forces Targa file to be of type 24 bit colormapped.
               Input must be a portable bitmap, a portable graymap
               or  a  portable  pixmap containing no more than 256
               distinct colors.
 
        -rgb   Forces Targa file to be of  type  24  bit  unmapped
               color.
 
        -norle Disables  run-length  encoding,  in case you have a
               Targa reader which can't  read  run-length  encoded
               files.
 
        All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique pre­
        fix.  If no file type is specified the  most  highly  con­
        stained  compatible type is used, where monochrome is more
        constained than colormapped which is  in  turn  more  con­
        stained than unmapped.
 
 BUGS
        Does  not  support  all possible Targa file types.  Should
        really be in PNM, not PPM.
