All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix. You
may use two hyphens instead of one to designate an option. You may
use either white space or equals signs between an option name and its
value.

<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
Reads a PNM image as input. Chooses
<I>ncolors</I>
colors to best represent the image, maps the existing colors
to the new ones, and writes a PNM image as output.
<A NAME="ixAAC"></A>
<P>
This program is simply a combination of
<B>pnmcolormap</B>
and
<B>pnmremap</B>,
where the colors of the input are remapped using a color map which is
generated from the colors in that same input. The options have the
same meaning as in those programs. See their documentation to
understand
<B>pnmquant</B>.
<P>
It is much faster to call
<B>pnmcolormap</B>
and
<B>pnmremap</B>
directly than to run
<B>pnmquant</B>.
<B>pnmquant</B>
is just a convenience.
<P>
<B>ppmquant</B>
is an older program which does the same thing as
<B>pnmquant</B>,
but on only PPM images. It is, however, faster than either
<B>pnmquant</B>
or
<B>ppmcolormap</B>/<B>pnmremap</B>.
