Binary PPM File Format
  • Format Difference
  • The magic number is P6, instead of P3
  • Pixel values stored as bytes, instead of ASCII
    decimal
  • A single whitespace character (typically
    newline) follows the maximum intensity
  • No whitespace allowed in the pixel data area
  • Files are smaller Þ many times faster to read
    and write
  • Note that this raw format can only be used for
    intensities less than or equal to 255
