Each original image +generates four #defines within the packed file: xxxX, xxxY, xxxSZX, +and xxxSZY, where xxx is the name of the file, converted to all +uppercase. The ouput also includes #defines OVERALLX and OVERALLY, which +specifies the total size of the montage image. + +<DT><B>-prefix</B> + +<DD>Tells <B>pnmmontage</B> to use the specified prefix on all of the +#defines it generates. + +<DT><B>-quality</B> + +<DD>Before attempting to place the subimages, <B>pnmmontage</B> will +calculate a minimum possible area for the montage; this is either the +total of the areas of all the subimages, or the width of the widest +subimage times the height of the tallest subimage, whichever is +greater. <B>pnmmontage</B> then initiates a problem-space search to +find the best packing; if it finds a solution that is (at least) as +good as the minimum area times the quality as a percent, it will break +out of the search.
