.\"
.SH NAME
xvtoppm \- convert from \fIxv\fP's .xvpics format to ppm
.\"
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBxvtoppm\fP \fI.xvpics/file\fP
.\"
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fIxvtoppm\fP is a simple-minded script that converts \fIxv\fP's ``Visual
Schnauzer'' files into the ppm format.  This makes it possible to use all
those files to create a contact sheet without scaling down the original
images again.  Check out \fIicontact\fP's \fB\-Z\fP option which turns off
scaling of the input files.  Also check out the \fB\-M\fP option which
will allow you to, say, double the size of each image.
.\"
.SH "SEE ALSO"
\fIxv(1)\fP, \fIicontact(1)\fP, \fIppm(1)\fP
.\"
.SH BUGS
.PP
\fIxvtoppm\fP doesn't take into account all the information on the first line
of the input files.  If the format ever changes from the ``P7 332'' version
currently in use, this program will fail.
