3. Usage

3.1. Reading PGM file

import pnm

block:
  # P2
  let p = readPGMFile("tests/out/p2.pgm")
  echo p

block:
  # P5
  let p = readPGMFile("tests/out/p5.pgm")
  echo p

3.2. Writing PGM file

import pnm

let col = 6
let row = 12
let data = @[
  0'u8, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
  0'u8, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,

block:
  # P2
  let p = newPGM(pgmFileDescriptorP2, col, row, data)
  writePGMFile("tests/out/p2.pgm", p)

block:
  # P5
  let p = newPGM(pgmFileDescriptorP5, col, row, data)
  writePGMFile("tests/out/p5.pgm", p)

3.3. Other examples

See examples directory. Run example code.

Generating PBM.

cd write_pbm
nim c -d:release main.nim
./main

Generating PGM.

cd write_pgm
nim c -d:release main.nim
./main

Generating PPM.

cd write_ppm
nim c -d:release main.nim
./main

Controling generated PNM files.

cd read_file
nim c -d:release main.nim
./main

4. Warning

Available color byte of PGM and PPM is 1 byte (0~255).
