NAME

pnmpaste - paste a rectangle into a portable anymap  

SYNOPSIS

pnmpaste frompnmfile x y [intopnmfile]  

DESCRIPTION

Reads two portable anymaps as input. Inserts the first anymap into the second at the specified location, and produces 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(1). For instance, if you want to edit a small segment of a large anymap, and your anymap editor is TOO STUPID to edit the large anymap, you can cut out the segment you are interested in, edit it, and then paste it back in.

The pbmpaste(1) tool is like this one, except that since it only has to work with bitmaps, it implements bitblt-style logical operations.
