NAME
       xwdtopnm - convert a X11 or X10 window dump file into a portable anymap

SYNOPSIS
       xwdtopnm [xwdfile]

DESCRIPTION
       Reads  a  X11  or  X10 window dump file as input.  Produces a portable anymap as output.  The
       type of the output file depends on the input file - if it's black &  white,  a  pbm  file  is
       written,  else  if  it's  grayscale a pgm file, else a ppm file.  The program tells you which
       type it is writing.

       Using this program, you can convert anything on an X workstation's  screen  into  an  anymap.
       Just  display whatever you're interested in, do an xwd, run it through xwdtopnm, and then use
       pnmcut to select the part you want.

BUGS
       I haven't tested this tool with very many configurations, so there are probably bugs.  Please
       let me know if you find any.
