NAME
pnmmargin - add borders to a PNM image
SYNOPSIS
pnmmargin [-white|-black|-color colorspec] size [pnmfile]
DESCRIPTION
This program is part of Netpbm(1).
pnmmargin adds a border around a PNM image.
ARGUMENTS
pnmfile is the name of the input file. If you don't specify this argu-
ment, pnmmargin reads the input image from its Standard Input.
OPTIONS
In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
(most notably -plain, see ]8;;index.html#commonoptions\ Common Options]8;;\ ), pnmmargin recognizes the
following command line options:
You can specify the border color with the -white, -black, and -color op-
tions. If you don't specify a color, the program makes a guess.
The value of -color is like the ]8;;libnetpbm_image.html#colorname\argument of the pnm_parsecolor() library
routine]8;;\ .
The -plain common option was implemented beginning with Netpbm version
10.40 (September 2007).
The -quiet common option is not implemented.
NOTES
pnmpad does essentially the same thing, but gives you more control over
the individual margins and does only black and white margins.
To remove a border of a specified size from an image, usepamcut. pnm-
crop also removes borders, but determines by itself what is border and
what is subject.
If you want to make the image a certain required size, adding borders or
cropping as necessary, pamcut may be what you want.
