.TH rasttopbm 1 "31 August 1988"
.SH NAME
rasttopbm - convert a Sun raster file into a portable bitmap
.SH SYNOPSIS
rasttopbm [rastfile]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Reads a Sun raster file as input.
Produces a portable bitmap as output.
NOTE: since it uses Sun-specific include files and libraries, pbmtorast
will compile only on Suns.
.PP
Using this program you can convert anything you can see on a Sun screen
into a pbm bitmap.
Just display whatever you're interested in, do a screendump, run it through
rasttopbm, and then use pnmcut to select the part you want.
.PP
The rasttoppm filter handles color images in addition to providing the same
functionality as rasttopbm; but rasttopbm is worth keeping, since
it is significantly faster.
