pnmpad(1)                   General Commands Manual                  pnmpad(1)

NAME
       pnmpad - add borders to portable anymap

SYNOPSIS
       pnmpad [-verbose] [-white|-black]
       [[[-width=width [-halign=ratio]] |
          [-left=leftpad] [-right=rightpad]]]
       [[[-height=height [-valign=ratio]] |
          [-top=toppad] [-bottom=botpad]]]
       [pnmfile]

       All  options  can  be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.  You
       may use two hyphens instead of one to designate an option.  You may use
       either  white  space  or  an equals sign between an option name and its
       value.

DESCRIPTION
       Reads a PNM image as input. Outputs a PNM image that is the input image
       plus black or white borders of the sizes specified.

       If  you  just  need to convert an image to a certain size regardless of
       the original dimensions, pnmcut with the -pad option may  be  a  better
       choice.

OPTIONS
       -verbose
              Verbose output.

       -white
       -black (default)
              Set pad color.

       -left leftpad
       -right rightpad
       -top toppad
       -bottom bottompad
              Specify amount of padding in pixels.

       -width width
              Set desired width of image. Overrides -left and -right if speci-
              fied. If width is less than the actual image width,  it  is  ig-
              nored. Use pnmcut(1) to cut off parts of images.

       -height height
              Set desired height of image. Overrides -top and -bottom if spec-
              ified. If height is less than the actual image height, it is ig-
              nored. Use pnmcut(1) to cut off parts of images.

       -halign ratio
              A  real number between 0 and 1. Used in conjunction with -width,
              sets the alignment ratio between left padding and right padding.

              Useful values:

              0.0    - left aligned;

              0.5    - center aligned (default);

              1.0    - right aligned.

       -valign ratio
              A real number between 0 and 1. Used in conjunction with -height,
              sets the alignment ratio between bottom padding and top padding.

              Useful values:

              0.0    - bottom aligned;

              0.5    - center aligned (default);

              1.0    - top aligned.

HISTORY
       Before February 2002,
              pnmpad  had  a different option syntax which was less expressive
              and not like conventional Netpbm programs.  That syntax is still
              understood  by  pnmpad for backward compatibility, but not docu-
              mented or supported for future use.
