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 &#x1F4A9;  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 2 255 255  0   0  # red 0 255  0  # green 0  0 255  # blue 255 255  0  # yellow 255 255 255 # white 0  0   0  # black
 * 1) The part above is the header
 * 2) "P3" means this is a RGB color image in ASCII
 * 3) "3 2" is the width and height of the image in pixels
 * 4) "255" is the maximum value for each color
 * 5) The part below is image data: RGB triplets
 * I fixed it. Bryan Henderson (giraffedata) (talk) 01:13, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
