NAME

       pamdice - slice a Netpbm image into many horizontally and/or vertically

SYNOPSIS

       pamslice -outstem=filenamestem [-width=width] [-height=height] [-verbose] [filename]

       You  can use the minimum unique abbreviation of the options.  You can use two hyphens instead of one.  You can separate an option name from
       its value with white space instead of an equals sign.

DESCRIPTION

       Reads a PAM, PBM, PGM, or PPM image as input.  Splits it horizontally and/or vertically into equal size pieces and writes them  into  sepa-
       rate files as the same kind of image.

       See the -outstem option for information on naming of the output files.

       The -width and -height options determine the size of the output pieces.

       pnmcat can rejoin the images.

OPTIONS

       -outstem=filenamestem
	      This  option  determines	the  names of the output files.  Each output file is named filenamestem_y_x.type where filenamestem is the
	      value of the -outstem option, x and y are the horizontal and vertical locations, respectively, in the  input  image  of  the  output
	      image, zero being the leftmost and top, and type is .pbm, .pgm, .ppm, or .pam, depending on the type of image.

       -width=width
	      gives  the width in pixels of the output images.	The rightmost pieces are smaller than this if the input image is not a multiple of
	      width pixels wide.

       -height=height
	      gives the height in pixels of the output images.	The bottom pieces are smaller than this if the input image is not  a  multiple	of
	      height pixels high.

       -verbose
	      Print information about the processing to Standard Error.
