NAME
       pgmenhance - edge-enhance a PGM image

SYNOPSIS
       pgmenhance

       [-N]

       [pgmfile]

DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pgmenhance reads a PGM image as input, enhances the edges, and writes a
       PGM image as output.

       The edge enhancing technique is taken from Philip R.  Thompson's  "xim"
       program,  which in turn took it from section 6 of "Digital Halftones by
       Dot Diffusion", D. E. Knuth, ACM Transaction on Graphics Vol. 6, No. 4,
       October 1987, which in turn got it from two 1976 papers by J. F. Jarvis
       et. al.

OPTIONS
       In addition to the options common to all programs  based  on  libnetpbm
       (most notably -quiet, see
        Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), pgmenhance recognizes the
       following command line option:

       -N

              The optional -N option should be a digit from 1 to 9.  1 is  the
              lowest  level  of enhancement; 9 is the highest.  The default is
              9.
