NAME

       pnmmontage - create a montage of portable anymaps

SYNOPSIS

       pnmmontage [-?|-help] [-header=headerfile] [-quality=n] [-prefix=prefix] [-0|-1|-2|...|-9] pnmfile...

DESCRIPTION

       Packs  images of differing sizes into a minimum-area composite image, optionally producing a C header file with the locations of the subim-
       ages within the composite image.

OPTIONS

       -?, -help
	      Displays a (very) short usage message.

       -header
	      Tells pnmmontage to write a C header file of the locations of the original images within the packed image.  Each original image gen-
	      erates  four  #defines  within  the packed file: xxxX, xxxY, xxxSZX, and xxxSZY, where xxx is the name of the file, converted to all
	      uppercase.  The #defines OVERALLX and OVERALLY are also produced, specifying the total size of the montage image.

       -prefix
	      Tells pnmmontage to use the specified prefix on all of the #defines it generates.

       -quality
	      Before attempting to place the subimages, pnmmontage will calculate a minimum possible area for the  montage;  this  is  either  the
	      total  of the areas of all the subimages, or the width of the widest subimage times the height of the tallest subimage, whichever is
	      greater.	pnmmontage then initiates a problem-space search to find the best packing; if it finds a solution that is  (at	least)	as
	      good  as the minimum area times the quality as a percent, it will break out of the search.  Thus, -q 100 will find the best possible
	      solution; however, it may take a very long time to do so.  The default is -q 200.

       -0, -1, ... -9
	      These options control the quality at a higher level than -q; -0 is the worst quality (literally  pick  the  first  solution  found),
	      while  -9 is the best quality (perform an exhaustive search of problem space for the absolute best packing).  The higher the number,
	      the slower the computation.  The default is -5.

NOTES

       Using -9 is excessively slow on all but the smallest image sets.  If the anymaps differ in maxvals, then pnmmontage will pick the  smallest
       maxval which is evenly divisible by each of the maxvals of the original images.

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.
