ppmnorm !!!ppmnorm NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION OPTIONS SEE ALSO AUTHOR ---- !!NAME ppmnorm - normalize the contrast in a portable pixmap !!SYNOPSIS __ppmnorm__ [[__-bpercent__ ''N'' | __-bvalue__ ''N''] [[__-wpercent__ ''N'' | __-wvalue__ ''N''] [[''ppmfile''] !!DESCRIPTION Reads a portable pixmap as input. Normalizes the contrast by forcing the lightest pixels to white, the darkest pixels to black, and linearly rescaling the ones in between; and produces a portable pixmap as output. Works by computing the realtive grey-level of each pixel ''a'la'' ppmtopgm, and uses those values to scale the RGB levels. Note that this is different from using pgmnorm on the individual red, green, and blue greymaps (as produced by ppmtorgb3) and recombining them. !!OPTIONS By default, the darkest 2 percent of all pixels are mapped to black, and the lightest 1 percent are mapped to white. You can override these percentages by using the __-bpercent__ and __-wpercent__ flags, or you can specify the exact pixel values to be mapped by using the __-bvalue__ and __-wvalue__ flags. Appropriate numbers for the flags can be gotten from the ''ppmhist'' tool. If you just want to enhance the contrast, then choose values at elbows in the histogram; e.g. if value 29 represents 3% of the image but value 30 represents 20%, choose 30 for ''bvalue''. If you want to lighten the image, then set ''bvalue'' to 0 and just fiddle with ''wvalue''; similarly, to darken the image, set ''wvalue'' to maxval and play with ''bvalue''. All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix. !!SEE ALSO pgmnorm(1), ppmhist(1), ppm(5) !!AUTHOR Wilson H. Bent. Jr. (whb@usc.edu), heavily based on the pgmnorm filter by Jef Poskanzer. ----
