NAME
       pcdovtoppm - create index image for a photo CD


SYNOPSIS
       pcdovtoppm [-m width] [-s size] [-a across] [-c colors] [-f font] [-b|-w] [pcdfile]



DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       This  program  generates  an  index image in PPM format for a photo CD, based on the photo CD
       overview file.

       You can achieve a similar result with hpcdtoppm -Overview followed by pnmindex -black on  the
       generated PPM images.


OPTIONS
       In  addition  to  the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet,
       see ]8;;index.html#commonoptions\ Common Options]8;;\ ), pcdovtoppm recognizes the following command line options:



       -wwidth
              Maximum width of the result image (default: 1152).

       -ssize Maximum size of each of the images (default: 192).

       -aacross
              Maximum number of images across (default: 6).

       -ccolors
              Maximum number of colors, or n

              to mean no quantization

       -ffont Font to be used for annotation (default: internal font).

       -b     Black background color (default).

       -w     White background color.



       The Netpbm common options -version, -plain and -quiet were implemented starting  with  Netpbm
       10.91 (June 2020).  Before that, none of these options were valid.



EXAMPLES
       pcdovtoppm -m 768 -s 96 -f smallfont.pbm overview.pcd > overview.ppm


       pcdovtoppm /cdrom/photo_cd/overview.pcd | ppmtojpeg > overview.jpg



HISTORY
       This program was formerly called pcdindex, which did not fit Netpbm naming conventions.
