You can +optionally make the pieces overlap. + +<P>See the <B>-outstem</B> option for information on naming of the +output files. + +<P>The <B>-width</B> and <B>-height</B> options determine the size of +the output pieces. + +<P><B>pnmcat</B> can rejoin the images. + +<p>One use for this is to make pieces that take less computer resources +than the whole image to process. 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. With <b>pamdice</b>, you can split it into smaller pieces, +edit one a time, and then reassemble them. + +<p>Another use for this is to print a large image in small printer-sized +pieces that you can glue together. <b>ppmglobe</b> does a similar thing; +it lets you glue the pieces together into a sphere. + +<A NAME="lbAE"> </A> +<H2>OPTIONS</H2> + +<DL COMPACT> +<DT><B>-outstem=</B>filenamestem + +<DD>This option determines the names of the output files.
