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 separate 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.
