     NAME
          ppmtopj - convert a portable pixmap to an HP PaintJet file

     SYNOPSIS
          ppmtopj [-gamma val] [-xpos val] [-ypos val] [-back
          dark|lite] [-rle] [-center] [-render
          none|snap|bw|dither|diffuse|monodither|monodiffuse|clusterdither|monoclusterdither]
          [ppmfile]

     DESCRIPTION
          Reads a portable pixmap as input and converts it into a
          format suitable to be printed by an HP PaintJet printer.

          For best results, the input file should be in 8-color RGB
          form; i.e. it should have only the 8 binary combinations of
          full-on and full-off primaries.  You could get this by
          sending the input file through ppmquant -map with a map file
          such as:
              P3
              8 1
              255
              0 0 0      255 0 0    0 255 0    0 0 255
              255 255 0  255 0 255  0 255 255  255 255 255
          Or else you could use use ppmdither -red 2 -green 2 -blue

     OPTIONS
          -rle          Run length encode the image.  (This can result
                        in larger images)

          -back         Enhance the foreground by indicating if the
                        background is light or dark compated to the
                        foreground.

          -render alg   Use an internal rendering algorithm (default
                        dither).

          -gamma int    Gamma correct the image using the integet
                        parameter as a gamma (default 0).

          -center       Center the image to an 8.5 by 11 page

          -xpos pos     Move by pos pixels in the x direction.

          -ypos pos     Move by pos pixels in the y direction.
