tgatoppm(1) tgatoppm(1) NAME tgatoppm - convert TrueVision Targa file into a portable pixmap SYNOPSIS tgatoppm [--alphaout={alpha-filename,-}] [--headerdump] tga-filename DESCRIPTION Reads a TrueVision Targa file as input. Produces a portable pixmap as output. OPTIONS --alphaout=alpha-filename tgatoppm creates a PGM (portable graymap) file containing the alpha channel values in the input image. If the input image doesnt contain an alpha channel, the alpha-filename file con tains all zero (transparent) alpha values. If you dont specify --alphaout, tgatoppm does not generate an alpha file, and if the input image has an alpha channel, tgatoppm simply discards it. If you specify - as the filename, tgatoppm writes the alpha out put to Standard Output and discards the image. See pnmcomp(1) for one way to use the alpha output file. --headerdump Causes the header information to be dumped to stderr. All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix. Should really be in PNM, not PPM. SEE ALSO ppmtotga(1), pnmcomp(1), ppm(5) AUTHOR Partially based on tga2rast, version 1.0, by Ian J. MacPhedran.
