NAME
       ppmtobmp - convert a portable pixmap into a BMP file

SYNOPSIS
       ppmtobmp [-windows] [-os2] [-bpp=bits_per_pixel] [ppmfile]

DESCRIPTION
       Reads  a  portable pixmap as input.  Produces a Microsoft Windows or OS/2 BMP file as out-
       put.

OPTIONS
       All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix and you can  use  a  double
       dash in place of the single dash, GNU-style.

       -windows
              Tells  the program to produce a Microsoft Windows BMP file.  (This is the default.)

       -os2   Tells the program to produce an OS/2 BMP file.  (Before August 2000, this  was  the
              default).

       -bpp   This  determines how many bits per pixel you want the BMP file to contain.  Only 1,
              4, 8, and 24 are possible.  By default, ppmtobmp chooses the smallest  number  with
              which  it can represent all the colors in the input image.  If you specify a number
              too small to represent all the colors in the input image, ppmtobmp  tells  you  and
              terminates.   You  can  use ppmquant or ppmdither to reduce the number of colors in
              the image.


NOTES
       To get a faithful reproduction of the input image, the maxval of the input image  must  be
       255.  If it is something else, ppmtobmp the colors in the BMP file may be slightly differ-
       ent from the colors in the input.

       Windows icons are not BMP files.  Use ppmtowinicon to create those.
