NAME

pamtohtmltbl - convert pnm/pam visual image to an HTML table  

SYNOPSIS

pamtohtmltbl [-transparent=color] [-verbose] [file]

Minimum unique abbreviation of option is acceptable. You may use double hyphens instead of single hyphen to denote options. You may use white space in place of the equals sign to separate an option name from its value.  

DESCRIPTION

This program is part of Netpbm.

pamtohtmltbl converts a visual image to an HTML table with one cell per pixel. The cell is empty, but its background color is that of the pixel.

file is a PBM, PGM, PPM, or PAM file. If PAM, it must be a standard visual image of tuple type RGB, GRAYSCALE, or BLACKANDWHITE, or something equivalent with extra higher numbered channels, but pamtohtmltbl doesn't check the tuple type; it just assumes.

Note that the more normal way to include a visual image in an HTML document is with a <IMG> tag.  

OPTIONS

-transparent=color
This option indicates that pixels of the specified color are to be transparent in the HTML table. The table cell for a pixel of this color will have no background color specified.

Specify the color (color) as described for the argument of the ppm_parsecolor() library routine.

-verbose
This option causes pamtohtmltbl to display messages about the conversion process.
