## DESCRIPTION

This program is part of **Netpbm**(1) .

**pamtodjvurle** reads a Netpbm image (PNM or PAM equivalent of PNM) as input and produces DjVu Color RLE format as output.

## OPTIONS

In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably **-quiet**, see \
  Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), **pamtodjvurle** recognizes the following command line option:

- **-transparent** *colorname*

  This option indicates which color in the image should be considered transparent.

  Specify the color (*color*) as described for the  argument of the **pnm\_parsecolor()** library routine ⟨libnetpbm\_image.html#colorname⟩ .

  Default is "white".

## HISTORY

**pamtodjvurle** was new in Netpbm 10.22 (April 2004) but a program that did almost the same thing, called **ppmtodjvurle**, was in Netpbm 10.21 (March 2004).  The latter was written and contributed to Netpbm by Scott Pakin \<scott+pbm@pakin.org\>. **pamtodjvurle** uses techniques taken from **ppmtodjvurle**, but no code is copied between them.
