pnmpaste(1)

NAME

       pnmpaste - paste a rectangle into a portable anymap

SYNOPSIS

       pnmpaste [-replace|-or|-and |-xor] 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 speci-
       fied, 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.  For instance,  if
       you  want to edit a small segment of a large image, and your image edi-
       tor cannot edit the large image, you can cut out the  segment  you  are
       interested in, edit it, and then paste it back in.

       Another useful companion tool is pbmmask.

       The  optional flag specifies the operation to use when doing the paste.
       The default is  -replace.   The  other,  logical  operations  are  only
       allowed  if  both input images are bitmaps.  These operations act as if
       white is TRUE and black is FALSE.

       All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.
