overwrite existing file
-i : Insertion point (x,y). Default is middle of bottom line
(x/2,y)

DESCRIPTION:

DMGRAPH will store graphics into or extract graphics from DOOM WAD
files, in GIF or PPM formats. Graphic format type is controlled
by the filename suffix, or by using the '-T' option on the
command line.

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 GIF or 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; 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 in GIF format:

DMGRPAH SKY1 -e sky1.gif

DMGRAPH SKY1 -s sky1.gif
