NAME¶
pamwipeout - replace detail with smooth gradient from one edge to the other
SYNOPSIS¶
pamwipeout {-lr | -tb} [filename]
Minimum unique abbreviation of options is acceptable. You may use double hyphens instead of single hyphen to denote options.
DESCRIPTION¶
This program is part of Netpbm(1).
pamwipeout replaces every row or column (as directed) with a smooth gradient between the pixel values at each edge. You can use it in combination with pamcut and pnmpaste / pamcomp to remove unwanted parts of a larger image.
In top-bottom mode, the program reads the whole image into memory before it can start processing. In left-right it will read the image a row at the time, process that row and write it to the output file. Therefore, in case of very large images, it may be better to use instead of "pamwipeout -tb" a pipe of "pamflip -cw | pamwipeout -lr | pamflip -ccw".
PARAMETERS¶
Filename is the name of the input file. If you don't specify this, pamwipeout reads the image from Standard Input.
OPTIONS¶
In addition to the options common to all programs based on
libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see
Common Options ), pamwipeout recognizes the following command line
options:
- -tb | -lr
-
This option chooses between a vertical and a horizontal gradient. You must specify one of these, but not both.
SEE ALSO¶
pam(1) and pamflip(1), pamcut(1), pamcomp(1), pnmpaste(1).
HISTORY¶
pamwipeout was new in Netpbm 10.54 (March 2011).
A predecessor program (not part of Netpbm) was called pnmblend.
AUTHORS¶
Willem van Schaik wrote this program in January 2011 and contributed it to Netpbm.
