NAME

       pamtable - print the raster as a table of numerical sample values

SYNOPSIS

       pamtable

       [-tuple] [-hex]

       [netpbmfile]

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pamtable  prints  the  raster  of  a  Netpbm image as a table of numerical sample values.  For example, a
       5-pixel wide, 2-pixel high rainbow (black, red, green, blue, white)  PPM  image  with  maxval  255  would
       appear as follows:

               0   0   0|255   0   0|  0 255   0|  0   0 255|255 255 255
               0   0   0|255   0   0|  0 255   0|  0   0 255|255 255 255

       There are other output formats possible.  See the command line options.

       If you care to see only certain rows or columns, use pamcut to filter the input.

       If you care to see only certain planes, use pamchannel to filter the input.

       pamtable prints vertical bars between tuples, unless there is only one sample per tuple, in which case it
       prints a single space between tuples.

       pamtable prints a single space between samples within a tuple.

       For  each sample, pamtable prints the numerical value from the Netpbm image, uninterpreted.  It prints it
       in decimal, right justified in the minimum number of spaces required to print the maxval of the image.

       If you want the samples to print more densely, use pamdepth to reduce the maxval (thus making the decimal
       numbers for the samples narrower).

       The less program (not part of Netpbm) is good for browsing through the table.  Use its  --chop-long-lines
       option and use cursor movement keys to scroll around in the image.

ARGUMENTS

       The  only possible argument is the name of the file containing the input Netpbm image.  This is optional;
       if you don't specify any arguments, the input comes from Standard Input.

OPTIONS

       In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably  -quiet,  see   Common
       Options ), pamtable recognizes the following command line options:

       -tuple Print the tuple values in mathematical tuple notation, like this:

                      (0, 0, 0) (255, 0, 0) (0, 255, 0) (0, 0, 255) (255, 255, 255)
                      (0, 0, 0) (255, 0, 0) (0, 255, 0) (0, 0, 255) (255, 255, 255)

              This option was new in Netpbm 10.11.00 (September 2022).

       -hex   Display sample values in hexadecimal instead of decimal.

              This option is not valid with -tuple.

              This option was new in Netpbm 10.11.00 (September 2022).

       -verbose

              Print additional messages about the processing.
