<H2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</H2>
<p>This program is part of <a href="index.html">Netpbm</a>.
<p><b>pamunlookup</b> is best described as the inverse of <b>pamlookup</b>
(without <b>-byplane</b>). For example, the following normally yields output
identical the input:
<pre>
<kbd>
$ cat input.ppm | \
pamunlookup -lookupfile=map.pam | \
pamlookup -lookupfile=map.pam \
> output.ppm
</kbd>
</pre>
<p>Specifically, <b>pamunlookup</b> takes an input image and produces an
output image of the same width and height in which each tuple is a single
number. That number is the index in a given lookup table of the tuple value
that is in the same position in the input image.
<p>You specify the lookup table the same way as for
<a href="pamlookup.html#lookupimage"><b>pamlookup</b></a>.
<p>Where a tuple in the input image is not in the lookup table, the
number <b>pamunlookup</b> places in the output index image is one greater than
the highest index in the lookup table. Accordingly, the maxval of the output
index image is the size of the lookup table.
<h3 id="example">Example</h3>
<P>Here is an example of <b>pamunlookup</b>'s function.
<p>Consider an input image consisting of a 3x2 PPM as follows:
<table summary="output image">
<?makeman l l l. ?>
<tr> <td>red</td> <td>yellow</td> <td>red</td> </tr>
<tr> <td>beige</td> <td>beige</td> <td>beige</td> </tr>
</table>
and a lookup table consisting of a 3x1 PPM image as follows:
<table summary="3x1 lookup table">
<?makeman l l l. ?>
<tr> <td>red</td> <td>yellow</td> <td>beige</td> </tr>
</table>
The lookup table above says Index 0 corresponds to the color red,
Index 1 corresponds to yellow, and Index 2 corresponds to beige. The output
of <b>pamunlookup</b> is the following index image:
<table summary="3x2x1 index image">
<?makeman l l l. ?>
<tr> <td>0</td> <td>1</td> <td>0</td> </tr>
<tr> <td>2</td> <td>2</td> <td>2</td> </tr>
</table>
<h3 id="misc">Miscellaneous</h3>
<p>The <i>inputfile</i> argument identifies the file containing the index PAM
or PNM image. <b>-</b> means Standard Input. It won't work if both the input
image file and lookup table file are Standard Input.
The output index image goes to Standard Output.

<DD><i>lookupfile</i> names the file that contains the PAM or PNM
image that is the lookup table. This option is mandatory.
