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.
