💖 Pbmtogo User Manual 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the pbmtogo page from the Netpbm user manual (that's the manual name, it's literally the whole vibe of this doc, lock it in 🫶). This is the little tool that takes your PBM pic and yeets it at a GraphOn terminal as compressed graphics. Let's go 💅

✨ NAME ✨

pbmtogo — convert a PBM image into compressed GraphOn graphics 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pbmtogo [pbmfile]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

hii so first things first: this program is part of Netpbm(1), okay? she's not out here alone, she's got a whole family 💜

pbmtogo reads a PBM image as input and produces 2D compressed GraphOn graphics as output. that's it, that's the whole job, and she eats every time 🔥

now the important part, and I mean it, do not skip this, bestie:

Make sure you set up your GraphOn with these modes:

  • 8 bits / no parity
  • obeys no XON/XOFF
  • NULs are accepted

all three of those live on the Comm menu, so go poke around in there 💖

also, do NOT forget to turn off tty post processing. like actually turn it off. that's a real step, not a suggestion 🙈

and a heads up that lowkey hurts: there is no gotopbm tool. it does not exist. she's one-way only, so don't come looking for the reverse trip, periodt 💀

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

So there are literally no command line options defined specifically for pbmtogo ✨ like, none, she's a minimalist, she's got main character energy with zero flags.

BUT — she does recognize the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (See Common Options.) so those are still on the table, iykyk 🫶
