NAME

       pamtouil - convert a PNM or PNM/transparency image into a Motif UIL icon file

SYNOPSIS

       pamtouil [-name=uilname] [pamfile]

       You  may  abbreviate any option to its shortest unique prefix.  You may use two hyphens instead of one to
       delimit an option.  You may separate an option from its value with whitespace instead of =.

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pamtouil reads a PNM or PAM image as input and produces a Motif UIL icon file as output.  If the input is
       PAM, it may be either a regular grayscale or color image or grayscale+transparency or color+transparency.
       Where the transparency channel is present, pamtouil renders pixels that are more than half transparent as
       transparent in the output.

       In the UIL's colormap, pamtouil uses the color names from the RGB database --  the  same  one  ppmmake(1)
       uses.   Where  a  color  in the input does not exactly match one of the colors named in the RGB database,
       pamtouil uses the closest color named in the RGB database.

OPTIONS

       In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably  -quiet,  see   Common
       Options ), pamtouil recognizes the following command line option:

       -name
                   Allows you to specify the prefix string which is printed in the
                   resulting UIL output.  If not specified, will default to the filename
                   (without extension) of the ppmfile argument.  If -name is not
                   specified and no ppmfile is specified (i.e. piped input), the
                   prefix string will default to the string "noname".

HISTORY

       Before May 2002, pamtouil was called ppmtouil and had no way to specify transparency.
