+<p>There are three ways <b>pnmcolormap</b> can choose the box to split in

+  <ul>
+    <li>Split the box containing the most pixels.  This is the default,

 <P>When you split a box, you do it so each sub-box has the same number of
 pixels (except one sub-box has more if the full box has an odd number), with
 the &quot;greatest&quot; pixels in one sub-box and the &quot;least&quot;
