NAME
       xpmtoppm - convert an X11 pixmap to a PPM image

SYNOPSIS
       xpmtoppm

       [--alphaout={alpha-filename,-}] [-verbose]

       [xpmfile]

DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       xpbtoppm reads an X11 pixmap (XPM version 1 or 3) as input and produces
       a PPM image as output.

OPTIONS
       --alphaout=alpha-filename
	      xpmtoppm creates a PBM file containing the transparency mask for
	      the  image.   If	the  input  image doesn't contain transparency
	      information, the alpha-filename file contains all white (opaque)
	      alpha  values.   If  you don't specify --alphaout, xpmtoppm does
	      not generate an alpha file, and if the input  image  has	trans‐
	      parency information, xpmtoppm simply discards it.

	      If you specify - as the filename, xpmtoppm writes the alpha out‐
	      put to Standard Output and discards the image.

	      See pamcomp(1)foronewaytouse the alpha output file.

	      xpmtoppm can't handle a line longer than 8K  characters  in  the
	      the  XPM	input.	 If an input line exceeds this limit, xpmtoppm
	      quits with an error message to that effect.  Before Netpbm 10.30
	      (October 2005), the limit was 2K.

       --verbose
	      xpmtoppm	prints	information  about  its processing on Standard
	      Error.

LIMITATIONS
       The recogized XPM version 3 features are limited.  Comments can only be
       single  lines and there must be for every pixel a default colorname for
       a color type visual.
