SYNOPSIS
pbmtoplot [pbmfile]
DESCRIPTION
pbmtoplot reads a PBM image as input and produces a Unix plot(5) format file as output. The plot format was a device-independent vector graphics format used for output to plotters and other graphics devices.If no input file is specified, the program reads from standard input. The output is always written to standard output. There is no reverse conversion tool (plottopbm does not exist).Part of the Netpbm toolkit.
INSTALL
sudo apt install netpbm
sudo dnf install netpbm
sudo pacman -S netpbm
sudo apk add netpbm
sudo zypper install netpbm

CAVEATS
The Unix plot format is largely obsolete. The conversion is one-way; there is no corresponding tool to convert plot format back to PBM.
