Overview
pilot-read-palmpix allows a Kodak PalmPix camera user to extract the images from their Palm handheld and convert them to Portable Network Graphic (.png) or Portable Pixmap (.ppm) files on their system. The default output type is Portable Pixmap (.ppm).
pilot-read-palmpix converts all pictures in the files given, or if no files are given, on a Palm handheld, to Portable Pixmap files.
Options
pilot-read-palmpix options
-b,
--bias bias
lighten or darken the image (0..49 darken, 51..100 lighten)
-c, --colour
Do a simple colour correction. The colour correction code makes a histogram from the image. Using the histogram it then makes up a couple of colour tables to try and balance the colours. It also clips the top and bottom colours to produce better perceived contrast.
-l, --list
List picture information found on the Palm handheld instead of converting the entries found to image files.
-n, --name
<pixname>
Convert only pixname to STDOUT, and output as type: .ppm or .png.
-s, --stretch
Do a histogram stretch on the colour planes
-t,
--type [ppm|png]
Specify the output picture type. Can be either "png" or "ppm".
Conduit Options
-p, --port port
Use device file <port> to communicate with the Palm handheld. If this is not specified, pilot-read-palmpix will look for the $PILOTPORT environment variable. If neither are found or supplied, pilot-read-palmpix will print the usage information.
-q,
--quiet
Suppress 'Hit HotSync button' message
-v, --version
Display version of pilot-read-palmpix and exit without connecting.
Help Options
-h, --help
Display the help synopsis for pilot-read-palmpix and exit without connecting.
--usage
Display a brief usage message and exit without connecting.
Usage
If a filelist is not given, connects to the target Palm handheld, and reads the images found in the Kodak PalmPix image database (ArchImage.pdb), and allows the user to view the list of images and image details, or to select one or all of them, and convert them to Portable Network Graphic (.png) or Portable Pixmap (.ppm) files to be viewed or printed at the desktop.
If no options are specified, all of the images on the device will be converted to ppm files by default.
If a filelist is given, convert all listed files previously fetched via pilot-xfer. See BUGS - a single file argument is ignored, a list will work.
