NAME

       pnmtosgi - convert a PNM image to a SGI image file

SYNOPSIS

       pnmtosgi

       [-verbatim|-rle]

       [-imagename Name]

       [pnmfile]

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pnmtosgi  reads  a  PNM  image  as input and produces an SGI image file as output.  The SGI image will be
       2-dimensional (1 channel) for PBM and PGM input, and 3-dimensional (3 channels) for PPM.

OPTIONS

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

       -verbatim
              Write an uncompressed file.

       -rle (default)
              Write a compressed (run length encoded) file.

       -imagename name
              Write  the string "name" into the imagename field of the header.  The name string is limited to 79
              characters.  If no name is given, pnmtosgi writes "no name" into this field.
