SYNOPSIS
winicontoppm
[-writeands]
[-allicons|-bestqual]
[-multippm]
[-verbose]
[iconfile]
[ppmdestfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a Microsoft Windows .ico file, converts it to one or more ppms.
A Windows icon contains 1 or more images, at different resolutions
and color depths. Each image has an 'and' mask, which contains transparancy
data.
By default, the output goes to Standard Output. If you specify
R ppmdestfile ,
output goes into one or more files named as follows. If it's just one
file (i.e. you specify the
-multippm
option or don't specify
R -allicons ),
the file specification is
B ppmdestfile .ppm .
If it's multiple files, their file specifications are
B ppmdestfile _1.ppm ,
B ppmdestfile _2.ppm ,
etc.
When you specify the
-writeands
option, the filenames above are modified to include the string
xor
as in
B ppmdestfile _xor.ppm
or
B ppmdestfile _xor_1.ppm .
winicontoppm
can convert images with 1, 4, 8, 24 or 32 bits per pixel (bpp).
OPTIONS
-writeands
For each icon written, also write the 'and' (transparancy) mask as a
seperate PBM file. It's name is of the form
B ppmdestfile _and.pbm
or
B ppmdestfile _and_1.pbm .
-allicons
Extract all images from the .ico file.
-bestqual
Extract only the best quality (largest, then highest bpp) image from the .ico file.
-multippm
Write all ppms to a single file.
