pnmsmooth - smooth out an image
SYNOPSIS
pnmsmooth [-size width height] [-dump dumpfile] [pnmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Smooths out an image by replacing each pixel with the average of its width X height neighbors. It is implemented as a C progam that gener-
ates a PGM convolution matrix and then invokes pnmconvol.
OPTIONS -size width height
Specifies the size of the convolution matrix. Default size is a 3x3 matrix. Width and height sizes must be odd. Maximum size of
convolution matrix is limited by the maximum value for a pixel such that (width * height * 2) must not exceed the maximum pixel
value.
-dump dumpfile
Generates and saves the convolution file only. Use of this option does not invoke pnmconvol.

pnmconvol - general MxN convolution on a portable anymap
SYNOPSIS
pnmconvol convolutionfile [pnmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads two portable anymaps as input. Convolves the second using the first, and writes a portable anymap as output.
Convolution means replacing each pixel with a weighted average of the nearby pixels. The weights and the area to average are determined by
the convolution matrix. The unsigned numbers in the convolution file are offset by -maxval/2 to make signed numbers, and then normalized,
so the actual values in the convolution file are only relative.
Here is a sample convolution file; it does a simple average of the nine immediate neighbors, resulting in a smoothed image:
P2
3 3
18
10 10 10
10 10 10
10 10 10
To see how this works, do the above-mentioned offset: 10 - 18/2 gives 1. The possible range of values is from 0 to 18, and after the off-
set that's -9 to 9. The normalization step makes the range -1 to 1, and the values get scaled correspondingly so they become 1/9 - exactly
what you want. The equivalent matrix for 5x5 smoothing would have maxval 50 and be filled with 26.
The convolution file will usually be a graymap, so that the same convolution gets applied to each color component. However, if you want to
use a pixmap and do a different convolution to different colors, you can certainly do that.
At the edges of the convolved image, where the convolution matrix would extend over the edge of the image, pnmconvol just copies the input
pixels directly to the output.

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:
$ ls -ld /usr/bin /usr/bin/cat
drwxrwxr-x 3 root bin 8704 Sep 23 2004 /usr/bin

I have a file which looks roughly like this:
996 mmmmmmm
996 xxxxxxxxxxxxx
99600 ssssssssss
9964 fffffffffffff
and would like to sort it numerically on the first field. I tried:
sort -nr --key=1 ....
The output I get is:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()
{
malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I'm trying to install a PGX32 video card on my Sparc 10 Ultra running Solaris 10.

Hey All,
Quick question...
I'm writing a short script to check if a continuous port is running on a server.
I'm using "ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep processName" and I was wondering if it was better/more reliable to just check the
return code from the command or if its better to pipe to... (12 Replies)
I installed NetBSD 6.1.2 amd64 and can't find the apm utility. Is it not in the base system?
Is it necessary to recompile the default amd64 kernel to use apm?
Or is there a new method for power management and suspend/resume? (2 Replies)
Hi,
I am learning shell scripting for the first time. I use AT&T Korn Shell, Version AJM 93u+ 2012-08-01, compiled from source on NetBSD.
So far I have managed to set up what I think is a useful and pleasing shell prompt, which can be seen in the image attached to this post.

Hey gang, I have a list of times I need to sum up. This list can vary from a few to a few thousand entries.

Usually when I on the evening go to bed I take some interesting book with me. I read it for a while to get me down to sleep. Probably most people seek information from the Nett by googleing but I am so oldfashioned I prefer a real book ;)
