imgconvert(1)

NAME

imgconvert - convert an image to a different format

SYNOPSIS

imgconvert <infile> <outfile>

DESCRIPTION

imgconvert reads an image infile and converts it to a different format. The result is written to a second file outfile.

The file formats are automatically determined from the files' extensions. The program can convert color images to greyscale formats, but not the other way round.

Apart from PGM, imgconvert also accepts JPEG and may, if enabled, be able to read PFI files.

NOTES

The imgconvert utility is part of the Wavelet class library package. The version number refers to the whole package rather than to the utility.

BUGS

JPEG files (if enabled) are always treated as color images (i.e. 3 colors).
