🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this little cutie is part of Netpbm(1) — yes, the whole squad 👯

ppmtolj reads a PPM image as input 😌 and converts it into a color file suitable to be printed by an HP color PCL 5 printer. that's it. that's the job. main character energy only 🌈

💖 OPTIONS 💖

okay so FIRST of all — on top of the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see Common Options) — ppmtolj also recognizes these babies down here 👇 she's got range 💅

• -delta — apply delta row compression to reduce the size of the pcl file. smaller file, same slay 🍓
• -gamma int — gamma correct the image using the integer parameter as a gamma. the default is 0. tiny number, big glow-up ✨
• -float — suppress positioning information. by default, she writes the sequence ESC&l0E to the output. so -float is like. "not today, positioning info" 🙈
• -noreset — don't write the reset sequence to the beginning and end of the output. she skips the intro AND the outro. no hello, no goodbye, just content 😭
• -resolution — set the required output resolution: 75|100|150|300|600. pick your fighter 👑

ngl bestie, -gamma wants a val in the synopsis and an int in the option list — same thing, just don't come for me, I'm reporting exactly what the page says 💀
