NAME
       pnmalias - antialias a PNM image

SYNOPSIS
       pnmalias

       [-bgcolor color]

       [-fgcolor color]

       [-bonly]

       [-fonly]

       [-balias]

       [-falias]

       [-weight w]

       [pnmfile]

DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pnmalias reads a PNM image as input, and applies anti-aliasing to back-
       ground and foreground pixels.  If the input file  is  a  PBM,  pnmalias
       promotes  the  output anti-aliased image to a PGM, and prints a message
       informing the user of the change in format.

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

       -bgcolor colorb sets the background color the colorb.

       -fgcolor colorf sets the foreground color to colorf.

       Pixels with these values will be anti-aliased.   By  default,  pnmalias
       takes  the  background  color  to  be black, and foreground color to be
       white.

       Specify the  color  (color)  as  described  for  the  argument  of  the
       pnm_parsecolor() library routine ⟨libnetpbm_image.html#colorname⟩ .

       Note that even when dealing with PGMs, background and foreground colors
       need to be specified in the fashion described above.  In this case, pn-
       malias takes the background and foreground pixel values to be the value
       of the red component for the specified color.

       -bonly says to apply anti-aliasing only to the background pixels.

       -fonly says to apply anti-aliasing only to the foreground pixels.

       -balias says to apply anti-aliasing to  all  pixels  surrounding  back-
       ground pixels.

       -falias  says  to  apply  anti-aliasing to all pixels surrounding fore-
       ground pixels.

       If you specify neither -balias  nor  -falias,  pnmalias  applies  anti-
       aliasing only among neighboring background and foreground pixels.

       -weight  w says to use w as the central weight for the aliasing filter.
       w must be a real number in the range 0 < w < 1.  The lower the value of
       w is, the "blurrier" the output image is.  The default is w = 1/3.
