Hi.

It might be an interesting task to write a short script that would transform a request to delete vertical slices of character and field positions into a call to command cut that would then perform the actual work by extracting everything except the items on the original call ... cheers, drl

NAME
pfscat - Concatenate frames in PFS stream SYNOPSIS
pfscat [--horizontal] [--vertical] [-j <type>] [-R <val>] [-G <val>] [-B <val>] [-Y <val>] [--help] image1.pfs image2.pfs ... DESCRIPTION
Read number of frames as input, stitch them either horizontally or vertically, and produce single frame as output. If frames are not all the same size they are justified with each other - by default they are centered, but can also be flushed with a specified edge. OPTIONS
--horizontal, -H Stitch frames horizontally. --vertical, -V Stitch frames vertically. -j <type> Specify justification of input frames. Predefined types are: min, max, center. -R <val>, -G <val>, -B <val> Color of an extra space in a resulting image. Default color is black, and if some of the components is not specified, its value is set to 0.0. -Y <val> Color of an extra space in luminance mode. --help, -h Print a list of commandline options. EXAMPLES
pfsinmulti anim1_%04d.hdr anim2_%04d.hdr -- pfscat @1 @2 --vertical Stitch two hdr animations in vertical alignment. 'pfscat' is taken as an argument by 'pfsinmulti', therefore it must be preceded with '--'. Number of @1 @2 ... @n arguments must be the same as number of animations to combine. NOTES
Note that either --horizontal or --vertical option must be specified. SEE ALSO
