NAME
       pnmtosgi - convert a PNM image to a SGI image file


SYNOPSIS
       pnmtosgi

       [-verbatim|-rle]

       [-imagename Name]

       [pnmfile]


DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1)

       pnmtosgi reads a PNM image as input and produces an SGI image file as
       output.  The SGI image will be 2-dimensional (1 channel) for PBM and
       PGM input, and 3-dimensional (3 channels) for PPM.


OPTIONS
       -verbatim
              Write an uncompressed file.

       -rle (default)
              Write a compressed (run length encoded) file.

       -imagename name
              Write the string 'name' into the imagename field of the header.
              The name string is limited to 79 characters.  If no name is
              given, pnmtosgi writes 'no name' into this field.
