tgatoppm(1) General Commands Manual 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
doesn't contain an alpha channel, the alpha-filename file con-
tains all zero (transparent) alpha values. If you don't 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.
BUGS
Should really be in PNM, not PPM.
