ppmtopcx(1) convert a portable pixmap into a PCX file

SYNOPSIS

ppmtopcx [-24bit] [-packed] [-xpos=cols] [-ypos=rows] [ppmfile]

OPTIONS

-24bit
Produce a 24bit truecolor file, even if the pixmap has 256 colors or less.
-packed
Use "packed pixel" format for files with 16 colors or less: 1, 2, or 4 bits/pixel, 1 plane.
-xpos=cols
-ypos=rows
These options set the position of the image in some field (e.g. on a screen) in columns to the right of the left edge and rows below the top edge. The PCX format contains image position information. Don't confuse this with the position of an area of interest within the image. For example, using pnmpad to add a 10 pixel left border to an image and then converting that image to PCX with xpos = 0 is not the same as converting the original image to PCX and setting xpos = 10.

The values may be from -32767 to 32768.

The default for each is zero.
