DESCRIPTION


g.pnmcomp isn’t meant for end users. It’s an internal tool for use by wxGUI.

In essence, g.pnmcomp generates a PPM image by overlaying a series of PPM/PGM pairs (PPM =
RGB image, PGM = alpha channel).

NOTES


The intention is that d.* modules will emit PPM/PGM pairs (by way of the PNG-driver code
being integrated into Display Library). The GUI will manage a set of layers; each layer
consists of the data necessary to generate a PPM/PGM pair. Whenever the layer "stack"
changes (by adding, removing, hiding, showing or re-ordering layers), the GUI will render
any layers for which it doesn’t already have the PPM/PGM pair, then re-run g.pnmcomp to
generate the final image (just redoing the composition is a lot faster than redrawing
everything).

A C/C++ GUI would either have g.pnmcomp’s functionality (image composition) built-in, or
would use the system’s graphics API to perform composition (for translucent layers, you
would need OpenGL or the Render extension, or something else which supports translucent
rendering).

Tk doesn’t support transparent (masked) true-colour images (it does support transparent
GIFs, but that’s limited to 256 colours), and an image composition routine in Tcl would be
unacceptably slow, hence the existence of g.pnmcomp.
