Note that since Unisys claims a patent on the LZW algorithm (expiring in the US as of June 2003) used by GIF, this program do not include support for the LZW algorithm so GIF files are written uncompressed. Users are recommended to use the PNG or JPEG formats instead, and should consult the Unisys LZW web page before enabling LZW support. |

PNM |
RW |
Portable anymap |
PNM is a family of formats supporting portable bitmaps (PBM) , graymaps (PGM), and pixmaps (PPM). There is no file format associated with pnm itself. If PNM is used as the output format specifier, then the most appropriate format to represent the image will be selected automatically. The default is to write the binary version of the formats. Use +compress to write the ASCII version of the formats. |
