DMGRAPH graphic_name [-s ppm_file] [-e ppm_file] [-i insert_point] [-v] [-d]

-s : Store ppm_file into DOOM WAD
Input files must be in Portable PixelMap format (PPM);
resolution of 320x200 or less
-e : Extract graphic from DOOM WAD
in PPM format. Will not overwrite existing file
-i : Insertion point (x,y). Default is middle of bottom

DESCRIPTION:
DMGRAPH will store graphics into or extract graphics from DOOM WAD
files, in Portable PixelMap (PPM) format. To convert between
PPM and GIF,PCX,TGA, etc, use PBMPLUS found on:
oak.oakland.edu:/pub/msdos/graphics/pbmpl91d.zip
Input graphics should have a resolution of 320x200 or less.
To indicate transparent areas in the graphic, draw with
Cyan (red:0, green:255, blue:255).
Placement of the graphic can be adjusted with the '-i' option.
When a graphic is extracted, it's current insertion point
is stored in the PPM file. Negative insertion points, used on some
graphics, indicate an absolute coordinate from the top-left
of the screen.
Some graphics are sensitive to size or placement. For example,
TITLEPIC will generate a 'Bad V_DrawPatch' error if the
insertion point isn't 0,0 (320,200); STFGOD0 must be no larger
than 31x31; etc.
Please be sure to make a backup copy of the original DOOM WAD file.
Some examples:
Extract SKY1 graphic:
DMGRAPH SKY1 -e sky1.ppm
Replace SKY1 graphic:
DMGRAPH SKY1 -s sky1.ppm
