SYNOPSIS

ppmtv [ppmfile]

DESCRIPTION

ppmtv applies a CRT television scan line effect to PPM images, simulating the appearance of an old interlaced TV display by darkening alternating rows. Reads from standard input if no file is specified. Part of the Netpbm toolkit.

CAVEATS

Input must be in PPM format. Use conversion tools (e.g., jpegtopnm, pngtopam) to convert other formats first.
