PAM graphics format

193.85.190.18 suggested to merge PAM to Netpbm format. I'm not sure if that's a good idea for various reasons, e.g., folks used to the traditional concept of PNM don't recognize PAM/P7 as PNM, and in fact P7 does not follow the syntax for P1..P6. PAM is a special later addition to this zoo, PNM "Portable aNy Map" != "Portable Arbitrary Map" PAM, even the FFmpeg documentation confuses this. –Be..anyone 💩 02:31, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Invalid example image

I think we should replace this example, because it's invalid. You can only place comments before the MaxVal (the third line in this example) number. 84.0.126.117 (talk) 18:33, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

P3
3 2
255
# The part above is the header
# "P3" means this is a RGB color image in ASCII
# "3 2" is the width and height of the image in pixels
# "255" is the maximum value for each color
# The part below is image data: RGB triplets
255   0   0  # red
  0 255   0  # green
  0   0 255  # blue
255 255   0  # yellow
255 255 255  # white
  0   0   0  # black
