pbmpaste(1) PBM Plus pbmpaste(1)
NAME
pbmpaste - paste a rectangle into a portable bitmap
SYNOPSIS
pbmpaste [-replace|-or|-and|-xor] frompbmfile x y
[intopbmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads two portable bitmaps as input. Inserts the first bit-
map into the second at the specified location, and produces
a portable bitmap the same size as the second as output. If
the second bitmap is not specified, it is read from stdin.
The x and y can be negative, in which case they are inter-
preted relative to the right and bottom of the bitmap,
respectively.
The flags specify the operation to use when doing the paste.
The default is replace. The other operations act as if
white is 1 and black is 0.
All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique pre-
fix.
This tool is useful in combination with pnmcut(1). For
instance, if you want to edit a small segment of a large
bitmap, and your bitmap editor is TOO STUPID to edit the
large bitmap, you can cut out the segment you are interested
in, edit it, and then paste it back in.
Another useful companion tool is pbmmask(1).
The pnmpaste(1) tool is like this one, except that it
doesn't implement the logical operation flags -- since they
don't have any useful meaning for grayscale and color
images.
