pcxtoppm - convert a PCX file into a portable pixmap

pcxtoppm [ -stdpalette ] [ -verbose ] [ pcxfile ]

Reads a PCX file as input. Produces a portable pixmap as output. Supported PCX types are:

• Colormapped files with 2-16 colors.
      "Packed pixel" format (1, 2 or 4 bits/pixel, 1 plane) or bitplane format (1 bit/pixel, 1-4 planes). The program checks the colormap and uses an internal one if the provided colormap is completely black.
• Colormapped files with 256 colors
      8 bits/pixel, 1 plane, colormap at the end of the file.
• 24bit truecolor files
      24bit RGB: 8 bits/pixel, 3 planes.
• 32bit truecolor files
      24bit RGB + 8bit intensity: 8 bits/pixel, 4 planes.

-stdpalette

    Enforce the use of the internal colormap for files with 16 colors or less.
