I have recently begun doing some color image processing and would like
to be able to print my output on a Tektronix Phaser PX color thermal
printer which I have access to. Unfortunately, the only code I have
found to convert any sort of image to Color postscript (RGB mapped) is
in the PBMPLUS package - which is not being very friendly in my
attempts to compile under MSDOS.
The images I am using start as Targa-24 digitized images, which are 24
bit color. I usually map that down to a 256 color palette, since the
24 bit color is not terribly neccessary. I have written utilities to
convert the Targa images to TIFF and GIF, but not knowing all that
much about how color Postscript works, I would prefer to look at
someone else's code before attacking the proverbial "red book".
I would also like to find code (or a public domain or shareware
utility) that is feasible under the MSDOS platform. Pushing large
bitmaps between my unix machine and my PS/2 at 2400 baud is not my
idea of a party...
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
