✨ pamtoavs ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Pamtoavs User Manual (section 1 of the General Commands Manual, and she is serving). this is the bit where the manual page for pamtoavs starts, so grab your strawberry drink 🍓 and let's get into it.

💖 NAME 💖

pamtoavs — convert a Netpbm image to an AVS X image

like. that's the whole vibe. you got a Netpbm, you want an AVS X. she does that. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pamtoavs [netpbmfile]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so first thing: this program is part of Netpbm(1). family business, we love her 💜

pamtoavs reads a Netpbm image as input and produces a Stardent AVS X image as output. and no cap, AVS X images are one of the (few) image formats that Gnuplot v4.2 and later can actually use. so like, if you were wondering why anyone bothers — that's why. it's giving "niche but essential" 💅

netpbmfile is the input file, and it defaults to Standard Input. output is always on Standard Output. always always. she's not flexible about that one, and honestly? iconic.

try the following:

gnuplot> plot 'myimage.avs' binary filetype=avs with rgbimage

see the Gnuplot manual" (1) for more information. (yes the manual quote mark situation is a little chaotic, we don't talk about it 🙈)

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

bestie there are literally no command line options defined specifically for pamtoavs. none. zero. she is uncomplicated, and that's kind of her whole thing 🧚 but!! she does recognize the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm — see Common Options 🫶

  • literally no bespoke flags here. if you're hunting for a -xyz, it's not coming. the common libnetpbm options are the only extra sauce you're getting. periodt.
