PBMTOPLOT(1)
β¨ Pbmtoplot User Manual β aka pbmtoplot β¨
okay bestie, gather round, because this little tool is giving niche and iconic and i need you to know about it π it lives in the Netpbm family, and it does exactly one thing, but it does it flawlessly. no cap.
πΈ NAME πΈ
pbmtoplot β convert a PBM image into a Unix 'plot' file π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
pbmtoplot [pbmfile]
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so, first thing: this program is part of Netpbm(1). family reunion energy, she's not out here alone π«Ά
pbmtoplot reads a PBM image as its input and produces a Unix plot file as its output. that's the whole glow-up. image goes in, plot file comes out, main character transformation β¨
π and listen β note that there is no plottopbm tool. the way this transformation is one-way?? yeah. no undo button, no reverse slay. it's giving one-way street, periodt.
π OPTIONS π
okay so here's the thing, and honestly? we love a low-maintenance queen π
there are literally no command line options defined specifically for pbmtoplot. none. zero. she doesn't need them.
but β she does recognize the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm. (See Common Options.) so all that shared lore still applies, iykyk π
π SEE ALSO π
