## NAME
       pamrgbatopng - replaced by pamtopng


## SYNOPSIS
       **pamrgbatopng **[_pamfile_]


## DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of [**Netpbm**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/Netpbm/1/markdown).

       **pamrgbatopng  **was  obsoleted  by [**pamtopng**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/pamtopng/1/markdown), introduced with Netpbm 10.70 (June 2015).  **pam‐**
       **topng **is backward compatible with **pamrgbatopng**, plus adds a plethora additional functions.

       Starting in Release 10.70, **pamrgbatopng **is just an alias for **pamtopng**.

       **pamrgbatopng **was added to Netpbm in 2005, and was always expected to  be  retired  eventually
       because  it had almost no features, compared to the more popular and much older **pnmtopng**.  It
       had, in fact, no command line options.  But the one feature it had that **pnmtopng  **lacked  was
       the  ability to recognize transparency in a PAM image.  **pamtopng **has that, as well as most of
       the features of **pnmtopng**.
