NAME
    rawtoppm - convert raw RGB bytes into a portable pixmap

SYNOPSIS
    rawtoppm [-headerskip N] [-rowskip N] [-rgb|-rbg|-grb |-gbr|-brg|-bgr ]
    [-interpixel|-interrow] width height [imagedata]

DESCRIPTION
    Reads raw RGB bytes as input. Produces a portable pixmap as output.
    The input file  is just RGB bytes. You have to specify the width and
    height on the command line, since the program obviously can't get them
    from the file.  The maxval is assumed to be 255. If the resulting
    image is upside down, run it through pnmflip -tb .

OPTIONS
    -headerskip
    If the file has a header, you can use this flag to skip over it.

    -rowskip
    If there  is padding at the ends of the rows, you can skip it
    with this flag.

    -rgb -rbg -grb -gbr -brg -bgr
    These flags let you specify alternate color orders. The default
    is -rgb.

    -interpixel -interrow
    These flags let you specify how the colors are interleaved. The
    default is -interpixel, meaning interleaved by pixel. A byte of
    red, a byte of  green,  and a byte of blue, or whatever color
    order you specified. -interrow means interleaved by row - a row
    of red, a row of green, a row of blue, assuming standard rgb
    color order. An -interplane flag  - all the red  pixels, then
    all the green, then all the blue - would be an obvious exten-
    sion, but is not implemented. You could get the same effect by
    splitting  the file into three parts (perhaps using dd), turning
    each part into a PGM file with rawtopgm, and then combining them
    with rgb3toppm.
