pnmpaste(1)pnmpaste(1)NAMEpnmpaste - paste a rectangle into a portable anymap
SYNOPSISpnmpaste [-replace|-or|-and |-xor] frompnmfile x y [intop-
nmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads two portable anymaps as input. Inserts the first
anymap into the second at the specified location, and pro-
duces a portable anymap the same size as the second as
output. If the second anymap is not specified, it is read
from stdin. The x and y can be negative, in which case
they are interpreted relative to the right and bottom of
the anymap, respectively.
This tool is most useful in combination with pnmcut. For
instance, if you want to edit a small segment of a large
image, and your image editor cannot edit the large image,
you can cut out the segment you are interested in, edit
it, and then paste it back in.
Another useful companion tool is pbmmask.
The optional flag specifies the operation to use when
doing the paste. The default is -replace. The other,
logical operations are only allowed if both input images
are bitmaps. These operations act as if white is TRUE and
black is FALSE.
All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique pre-
fix.
