NAME

pnmindex - build a visual index of a bunch of anymaps

SYNOPSIS

pnmindex [-size N] [-across N] [-colors N] [-black] pnmfile ...

DESCRIPTION

This script makes small versions of a bunch of anymaps, adds labels, and concatenates them together into a collage.

OPTIONS

-size

Controls how big each image becomes; the default is 100x100.

-across

Controls how many images are in each row; the default is 6.

-colors

Controls how many colors the final index gets quantized to, if quantization is necessary; the default is 256.

-black

Controls the color of the padding between the images; normally it’s white and the labels are black lettering on white background, but the -black flag reverses this.

SEE ALSO

pnmscale(1), pnmcat(1), pbmtext(1), ppmquant(1), pnm(5)

BUGS

It’s very slow.

It’s a csh script. Csh scripts are not portable to System V. Scripts in general are not portable to non-Unix environments.
