For example, you might +have an image so large that an image editor can't read it all into +memory or processes it very slowly. You can split it into smaller +pieces with <b>pamdice</b>, edit one at a time, and then reassemble them +with <b>pamundice</b>. + +<p>An alternative to join images in a single direction (i.e. a single +rank or a single file) is <b>pnmcat</b>. <b>pnmcat</b> gives you more +flexibility than <b>pamundice</b> in identifying the input images: you +can supply them on Standard Input or as a list of arbitrarily named +files. + +<p>To join piecewise photographs, use <b>pnmstitch</b> instead of +<b>pamundice</b>, because it figures out where the pieces overlap, +even if they don't overlap exactly vertically or horizontally. + +<p>To create an image of the same tile repeated in a grid, that's +<b>pnmtile</b>. + +<p><b>pnmindex</b> does a similar thing to <b>pamundice</b>: it +combines a bunch of small images in a grid into a big one. But its +purpose is to produce a an index image of the input images. So it +leaves space between them and has labels for them, for example. + +<h2 id="arguments">ARGUMENTS</h2> + +<p>There is one non-option argument, and it is mandatory: +<i>input_filename_pattern</i>. This tells <b>pamundice</b> what files +contain the input tiles. + +<p><b>pamundice</b> reads the input images from files which are named +with a pattern that indicates their positions in the combined image. +For example, <b>tile_00_05.ppm</b> could be the 6th tile over in the +1st rank, while <b>tile_04_01</b> is the 2nd tile over in the 5th rank. + +<p>You cannot supply any of the data on Standard Input, and the files +must be the kind that <b>pamundice</b> can close and reopen and read +the same image a second time (e.g. a regular file is fine; a named +pipe is probably not). + +<p><i>input_filename_pattern</i> is a printf-style pattern. (See the +standard C library <b>printf</b> subroutine). For the example above, +it would be <b>tile_%2d_%2a.ppm</b>. The only possible conversion +specifiers are: + +<dl> + +<dt><b>d</b> +<dd>"down": The rank (row) number, starting with 0. + +<dt><b>a</b> +<dd>"across": The file (column) number, starting with 0. + +<dt><b>%</b> +<dd>The per cent character (%). + +</dl> + +<p>The number between the % and the conversion specifier is the +precision and is required. It says how many characters of the file +name are described by that conversion. The rank or file number is +filled with leading zeroes as necessary. + +<p>So the example <b>tile_%2d_%2a.ppm</b> means to get the name of +the file that contains the tile at Rank 0, File 5, you: + +<ul> + +<li>replace the "%2d" with the rank number, as a 2 digit +decimal number: "00" + +<li>Replace the "%2a" with the file number, as a 2 digit +decimal number: "05" +</ul> + +<p>Note that this pattern describes file names that <b>pamdice</b> +produces, except that the precision may be more or less. +(<b>pamdice</b> uses however many digits are required for the highest +numbered image). + + +<H2 id="options">OPTIONS</H2> + +<DL COMPACT> +<DT><B>-across=</B><I>N</I> + +<DD>This is the number of tiles across in the grid, i.e. the number of +tiles in each rank, or the number of files. + +<p>Default is 1. + + +<DT><B>-down=</B><I>N</I> + +<DD>This is the number of tiles up and down in the grid, i.e. the +number of tiles in each file, or the number of ranks. + +<p>Default is 1. + +<DT><B>-hoverlap=</B><I>pixels</I> + +<DD>This is the amount in pixels to overlap the tiles horizontally. +<b>pamundice</b> clips this much off the right edge of every tile +before joining it to the adjacent image to the right.
