17 !!DESCRIPTION

19
20 Reads a portable graymap as input. Outlines the edges, and
21 writes a portable graymap as output. Piping the result
22 through __pgmtopbm -threshold__ and playing with the
23 threshold value will give a bitmap of the
24 edges.

27 The edge detection technique used is to take the Pythagorean
28 sum of two Sobel gradient operators at 90 degrees to each
29 other. For more details see

31
32 The maxval of the output is the same as the maxval of the
33 input The effect is better with larger maxvals, so you may
34 want to increase the maxval of the input by running it
35 through __pnmdepth__ first.
