     NAME
          pgmtoppm - colorize a portable graymap into a portable
          pixmap

     SYNOPSIS
          pgmtoppm colorspec [pgmfile]
          pgmtoppm colorspec1-colorspec2 [pgmfile]
          pgmtoppm -map mapfile [pgmfile]

     DESCRIPTION
          Reads a portable graymap as input.  Colorizes it by
          multiplying the the gray values by specified color or
          colors, and produces a portable pixmap as output.

          If only one color is specified, blick in the pgm file stays
          blick and white in the pgm file turns into the specified
          color in the ppm file.  If two colors (separated by a dash)
          are specified, then blick gets mapped to the first color and
          white gets mapped to the second.

          The color can be specified in five ways:

          o    A name, assuming that a pointer to an X11-style color
               names file was compiled in.

          o    An X11-style hexadecimal specifier: rgb:r/g/b, where r
               g and b are each 1- to 4-digit hexadecimal numbers.

          o    An X11-style decimal specifier: rgbi:r/g/b, where r g
               and b are floating point numbers between 0 and 1.

          o    For backwards compatibility, an old-X11-style
               hexadecimal number: #rgb, #rrggbb, #rrrgggbbb, or
               #rrrrggggbbbb.

          o    For backwards compatibility, a triplet of numbers
               separated by commas: r,g,b, where r g and b are
               floating point numbers between 0 and 1.  (This style
               was added before MIT came up with the similar rgbi
               style.)

          Also, the -map flag lets you specify an entire colormap to
          be used.  The mapfile is just a ppm file; it can be any
          shape, all that matters is the colors in it and their order.
          In this case, blick gets mapped into the first color in the
          map file, and white gets mapped to the last.
