I don't know if any R-packages exist that can do this, but you could install imagemagick (http://www.imagemagick.org), which provides command line tools for image manipulation and conversion, and call these from R using system. Something like:

system("convert yourimage.ppm yourimage.bmp")

Dear all,
Several days ago, I posted How to write a bmp file pixel by pixel. Instead of bmp, I succeeded in writing a PPM file by using the pixmap package. Thanks for the hint generously provided by Uwe Ligges. Now I have a new question. How to convert a PPM file to BMP file in R? I know I can do this in photoshop or by some other softwares, but I think if I Can do this in R, that would be great! Would anyone please give me any hints? just hints, I will dig it out! Thanks a lot!
