NAME
       pamdice - slice a Netpbm image into many horizontally and/or vertically

SYNOPSIS
       pamslice  -outstem=filenamestem  [-width=width] [-height=height] [-ver-
       bose] [filename]

       You can use the minimum unique abbreviation of the  options.   You  can
       use  two  hyphens instead of one.  You can separate an option name from
       its value with white space instead of an equals sign.

DESCRIPTION
       Reads a PAM, PBM, PGM, or PPM image as input.  Splits  it  horizontally
       and/or  vertically into equal size pieces and writes them into separate
       files as the same kind of image.

       See the -outstem option for information on naming of the output files.

       The -width and -height options determine the size of the output pieces.

       pnmcat can rejoin the images.

OPTIONS
       -outstem=filenamestem
              This option determines the names of the output files.  Each out-
              put  file  is  named filenamestem_y_x.type where filenamestem is
              the value of the -outstem option, x and y are the horizontal and
              vertical locations, respectively, in the input image of the out-
              put image, zero being the leftmost and top, and  type  is  .pbm,
              .pgm, .ppm, or .pam, depending on the type of image.

       -width=width
              gives  the  width in pixels of the output images.  The rightmost
              pieces are smaller than this if the input image is not a  multi-
              ple of width pixels wide.

       -height=height
              gives  the  height  in  pixels of the output images.  The bottom
              pieces are smaller than this if the input image is not a  multi-
              ple of height pixels high.

       -verbose
              Print information about the processing to Standard Error.
