I''m trying to use some code with PPM, does anyone know the file format for the two? and wat''s up with the P1 P2 P3...? if anyone has the source code for decoding, it would help me a lot. thanks

Portable Pixel Map - get details at:

http://www.wotsit.org/

Related formats are PBM and PGM - Portable BitMap and Portable Grey Map.

The P# determines which format it is, a combination of:

- ASCII (all pixels stored in ASCII)
- Binary (all pixels stored as binary)
- 8bit palettised
- 24bit RGB
