NAME

ppmtolss16 --- Convert a PPM to an LSS16 image  

SYNOPSIS

ppmtolss16 [     #rrggbb=i      ...] [< input.ppm] [> output.rle]
 

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the ppmtolss16 command.

The ppmtolss16 program converts a "raw" PPM file with max 16 colors to a simple RLE-based format:

simple RLE-based format
unint32 0x1413f3dmagic (littleendian)
unint16 xsizelittleendian
unint15 ysizelittleendian
16 x unint8 r,g,bcolor map

Color map is in 6-bit format (each byte is 0..63)

Then, a sequence of nybbles:

N ... if N is != previous pixel, one pixel of color N, otherwise run sequence follows ...

M ... if M > 0 then run length is M+1, otherwise run sequence is encoded in two nybbles, littleendian, +17

The nybble sequences are on a per-row basis, runs may not extend across rows and odd-nybble rows are zero-padded.

At the start of a row, the "previous pixel" is assumed to be zero.

 

OPTIONS

A summary of options is included below.

#rrggbb=i
Specify that the color #rrggbb (hex) should be assigned index i (decimal).

 

BUG

This program cannot handle comments in the header, nor "plain" ppm format.
