NAME

       winicontoppm - convert a Windows .ico image into 1 or more PPM images

SYNOPSIS

       winicontoppm [-writeands] [-allicons|-bestqual] [-multippm] [-verbose] [iconfile] [ppmdestfile]

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       This program is essentially obsolete; The newer winicontopam is better.

       winicontoppm reads a Microsoft Windows .ico file and converts it to one or more PPMs.

       A Windows icon contains one or more images, at different resolutions and color depths.  Each image has an
       'and' mask, which contains transparency data.

       By default, the output goes to Standard Output.  If you specify ppmdestfile, output goes into one or more
       files  named  as  follows.  If it's just one file (i.e. you specify the -multippm option or don't specify
       -allicons),  the  file  name  is  ppmdestfile.ppm.   If  it's  multiple  files,  their  file  names   are
       ppmdestfile_1.ppm, ppmdestfile_2.ppm, etc.

        When  you  specify the -writeands option, the file names above are modified to include the string xor as
       in ppmdestfile_xor.ppm or ppmdestfile_xor_1.ppm.

       winicontoppm can convert .ico images with 1, 4, 8, 24, or 32 bits per pixel.  Before Netpbm 10.15  (April
       2003), it could not handle 24 and 32.

OPTIONS

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

       -writeands
              For each icon written, also write the 'and' (transparency) mask as a separate PBM file.  It's name
              is of the form ppmdestfile_and.pbm or ppmdestfile_and_1.pbm.

       -allicons
              Extract all images from the .ico file.

              If you specify neither this nor -bestqual, winicontoppm extracts the first image.

       -bestqual
              Extract only the best quality (largest, then highest bpp) image from the .ico file.

              If you specify neither this nor -allicons, winicontoppm extracts the first image.

       -multippm
              Write all PPMs to a single file.
