I wrote this for fun a while back. It converts lineprinter art to
PBMPLUS graymaps. You need multipart and multistrike pictures to get
reasonable results. You also need the rest of the PBMPLUS distribution,
e.g. export.lcs.mit.edu:contrib is one archive site.
Take it for what it's worth and have fun.
#! /bin/sh
# This is a shell archive, meaning:
# 1. Remove everything above the #! /bin/sh line.
# 2. Save the resulting text in a file.
# 3. Execute the file with /bin/sh (not csh) to create:
# lptopgm.1
# lptopgm.c
# This archive created: Tue May 28 16:47:24 1991

.SH NAME
lptopgm - convert line printer picture into a portable graymap
.SH SYNOPSIS
lptopgm [lppic]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Reads a line printer picture as input.
Produces a portable graymap as output.
Overstruck lines created with carriage returns and/or backspaces
are handled correctly.
The gray values are based on a dot count of a typical dot matrix font.
.SH "EXAMPLE"
Best results are obtained from large, multiple strike pictures.
Small pictures will not have sufficient resolution and
single strike pictures will not have sufficient gray levels.
Conversion can be divided into three phases:
.PP
Initial preparation:
Multipart pictures must be divided into one file per part,
junk lines should be trimmed, tabs must be expanded,
and Fortran carriage control must be converted to the appropriate
sequence of newlines and carriage returns.
.I Lptopgm
also understands backspaces.
The only control characters not ignored are backspace,
newline and carriage return.
.PP
Conversion:
.B lptopgm
produces a graymap but this graymap needs
to be normalized and inverted (because pictures are black on white) so
run the result through
.B pgmnorm
and
.B pnminvert
also.
.PP
Final cleanup:
Put multi-part pictures back together with
.BR pnmcat .
Graymaps produced from line printer pictures
look compressed in the vertical direction because of the dimensions of the
characters in print chains. Run the picture through
.B pmscale
to expand the vertical scale. A ratio of 1.25 is about right.
.SH BUGS
If the picture has too many overstrikes, the gray value per cell
may exceed 255 and clipping at 255 will occur.
This has never happened with real pictures; the most I ever got
was a gray value of 129.
