# pbmtobbnbg(1)

convert a PBM image into BitGraph graphics

## NAME

pbmtobbnbg - convert a PBM image into BitGraph graphics

## SYNOPSIS

**pbmtobbng** \[*rasterop*\] \[*x* *y*\]

## DESCRIPTION

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

**pbmtobbnbg** reads a PBM image as input and produces BBN BitGraph terminal Display Pixel Data (DPD) sequence as output.

  The rasterop can be specified on the command line.  If you omit this, the\
   program uses 3 (replace).  You can also specify a position in (x,y)\
   coordinates.  If you give both, the rasterop comes first.  The PBM always\
   comes from Standard Input.

Note that there is no **bbnbgtopbm** tool.

## OPTIONS

There are no command line options defined specifically for **pbmtobbnbg**, but it recognizes the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (See \
  Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ .)
