Module Image.PNM

Description

This submodule keeps the PNM encode/decode capabilities of the Image module.

PNM is a common image storage format on unix systems, and is a very simple format.

This format doesn't use any color palette.

The format is divided into seven subformats;

P1(PBM) - ascii bitmap (only two colors)
P2(PGM) - ascii greymap (only grey levels)
P3(PPM) - ascii truecolor
P4(PBM) - binary bitmap
P5(PGM) - binary greymap
P6(PPM) - binary truecolor
P7 - binary truecolor (used by xv for thumbnails)
