NAME

       pnmtoxwd - convert a portable anymap into an X11 window dump

SYNOPSIS

       pnmtoxwd [-pseudodepth n] [-directcolor] [pnmfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads  a  portable  anymap  as  input.   Produces an X11 window dump as
       output.  This window dump can be displayed using the xwud tool.

       Normally, pnmtoxwd produces a StaticGray dump  file  for  pbm  and  pgm
       files.   For  ppm, it writes a PseudoColor dump file if there are up to
       256 colors in the input, and a DirectColor dump  file  otherwise.   The
       -directcolor  flag  can  be  used to force a DirectColor dump.  And the
       -pseudodepth flag can be used to change the depth of PseudoColor  dumps
       from the default of 8 bits / 256 colors.
