PBMTO10X(1)

💖 PBMTO10X 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the manual page for pbmto10x, a lil utility from the Netpbm girlies 💅

✨ NAME ✨

pbmto10x — convert a PBM image into Gemini 10X printer graphics 🖨️✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pbmto10x [-h] [pbmfile]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So first thing's first: this program is part of Netpbm(1). She's got sisters, she's got lore, she's got a whole family tree. 🌈

pbmto10x reads a PBM image as its input and produces a file of Gemini 10X printer graphics as its output. That's the whole glow-up: PBM in, printer graphics out. 💫

And the 10x's printer codes are alleged to be similar to the Epson codes — "alleged" is doing so much heavy lifting there lmao, that's the original wording, I'm not gonna pretend otherwise. 😭

Important bestie: there is no 10xtopbm tool. This transformation is one way. No take-backs, no reverse, no undo. It's giving one-way street, periodt. 🚫🔁

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

Alongside the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see Common Options), pbmto10x recognizes this one single command line option:

• -h — normally the resolution is 60H by 72V. If you specify the -h option, the resolution becomes 120H by 144V. Also, pro tip from the manpage itself: you may find it useful to rotate landscape images before printing. 🔄👑
