NAME

       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 generates 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.
