I have a PNG image.
I can convert it to PBM using Pillow:
from PIL import Image
im = Image.open("myfig.png")
im.save("myfig.pbm")
However it seems that encoding P6 is used as default (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netpbm_format)
I would like to have P4 encoding. How can I do that with Pillow?
If you want P4, you need a single bit, binary image:
im = Image.open("myfig.png").convert('1')
im.save("myfig.pbm")
