How to use the command ppmtoneo (with examples)

The ppmtoneo command is used to convert a PPM image file to an Atari Neochrome file. It takes a PPM image file as input and outputs a Neochrome file. Neochrome files are used on Atari ST computers and contain information for a black and white image.

Use case 1: Convert a PPM image to a NEO file

Code:

ppmtoneo path/to/file.ppm > path/to/file.neo

Motivation: The motivation for converting a PPM image to a NEO file is to be able to use the image on Atari ST computers. By converting the image to the specific Neochrome format, it can be viewed and edited on these computers.

Explanation: In this use case, the ppmtoneo command is used to convert a PPM image located at path/to/file.ppm to a NEO file. The output of the command is then redirected to path/to/file.neo, which is where the converted NEO file will be saved.

Example output: After running the command, the PPM image located at path/to/file.ppm will be converted to a NEO file and saved as path/to/file.neo. The NEO file can then be used on Atari ST computers to view and edit the image.

Conclusion:

The ppmtoneo command is a useful tool for converting PPM image files to Atari Neochrome files. By using this command, PPM images can be easily converted and used on Atari ST computers.
