pgmenhance - edge-enhance a portable graymap
SYNOPSIS
pgmenhance [-N] [pgmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable graymap as input. Enhances the edges, and writes a portable graymap as output.
The edge enhancing technique is taken from Philip R. Thompson's "xim" program, which in turn took it from section 6 of "Digital Halftones
by Dot Diffusion", D. E. Knuth, ACM Transaction on Graphics Vol. 6, No. 4, October 1987, which in turn got it from two 1976 papers by J. F.
Jarvis et. al.
OPTIONS
The optional -N flag should be a digit from 1 to 9. 1 is the lowest level of enhancement, 9 is the highest, The default is 9.

pgmedge - edge-detect a portable graymap
SYNOPSIS
pgmedge [pgmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable graymap as input. Outlines the edges, and writes a portable graymap as output. Piping the result through pgmtopbm
-threshold and playing with the threshold value will give a bitmap of the edges.
The edge detection technique used is to take the Pythagorean sum of two Sobel gradient operators at 90 degrees to each other. For more
details see "Digital Image Processing" by Gonzalez and Wintz, chapter 7.
The maxval of the output is the same as the maxval of the input The effect is better with larger maxvals, so you may want to increase the
maxval of the input by running it through pnmdepth first.

We have quite a few threads about this subject. I have collected some of them and arranged them by the OS which is primarily discussed in the thread. That is because the exact procedure depends on the OS involved. What's more, since you often need to interact with the boot process, the... (0 Replies)
I'm writing a command shell, and I want to be able to detect when the user presses an arrow key (otherwise it just prints [[A, [[B, etc.). I know it's relatively easy (although somewhat more time-consuming) to detect keystrokes in noncanonical mode, but I've noticed that the bash shell detects... (4 Replies)
I'm learning off Linux (Ubuntu) right now. I want to move up to Unix, but I don't want to rush like I did when it came to Windows --> to Linux. What is the best Unix OS that fits in pretty well with Ubuntu.
In other words is there kind of an equal Linux with Unix?
Also what do I need to... (10 Replies)
I noticed my hostname is <my-full-name>s-macbook.local. I'm not sure exactly what information leaves the local network, and whether the hostname is included, but if it is, this would mean people on the Internet can look at my hostname and see who I am. Before anyone says that's not possible,... (4 Replies)
