ppminfo software displays ppm-file information on the console with detailed specifications.
One thing I appreciate about ppminfo is its ease-of-use. With just a few simple commands, you can get all the information you need about your ppm-file. For example, if you run "jpegtopnm ~/Pictures/friends.jpg | ppminfo -vv", you'll see details such as the resolution (4288x2848), maximum value (255), and format (20534).
In addition to these basic details, ppminfo also provides specifics about the image's minimum, average, max, and standard deviation values. This data is broken down by color—red, green, and blue—so you can get a more complete picture of your image's color profile. For instance, the output might show that the minimum red value is 2, while the average is 126, and the maximum value is 255. This level of detail is incredibly valuable for anyone who works with digital images regularly.
Overall, I highly recommend ppminfo to anyone who needs a quick and easy way to view ppm-file data on their console. It's a straightforward application that does its job well, and it's an essential part of any netpbm-based workflow.
