- A general format converter. It can read any of the known
- formats and write one of the specified output formats (see
- fbm(1) for format details). Note that some conversions
- require more than simple format changes, such as color to
- grayscale or grayscale to 1bit. For these conversion you
- must use a pipeline of ther commands.

- --aa<<aassppeecctt>>
- _a_s_p_e_c_t _r_a_t_i_o_, a floating point number which is the
- ratio of the height of a pixel to its width. Some
- formats specify this, and for GIF images the reader
- attempts to guess from the size of the image. This
- option overrides the input or guessed aspect ratio.
- So if you know that your GIF image has a 1-1 aspect
- ratio, you should specify -a1 to override the
- guess.
-
- --tt''ttiittllee''
- _t_i_t_l_e_, specify a character string (up to 80 charac
- ters) to describe the image. The default is no
- title.
-
- --cc''ccrreeddiittss''
- _c_r_e_d_i_t_s _o_r _s_u_b_t_i_t_l_e_, specify a second character
- string (up to 80 characters) to describe the image.
- The default is no credit string.
-
- --BB _f_a_c_e format, as used by Bennet Yee's _f_a_c_e program
- at CMU.
-
- --FF _F_B_M_, format (by default, the default). You are
- guaranteed not to lose information by specifying
- FBM as the default.
-
- --GG _G_I_F_, Compuserve GIF format.
-
- --II _I_F_F format, interleaved bitmaps (ILBM), used by
- Amigas.
-
- --PP _P_B_M_, Jef Poskanzer's bitmap format.
