NAME
       ppmspread - displace a PPM image's pixels by a random amount

SYNOPSIS
       ppmspread amount [ppmfile] [-randomseed=integer]

DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       ppmspread  reads  a  PPM  image as input and moves every pixel around a
       random bit relative to its original position. amount determines by  how
       many pixels a pixel is to be moved around at most.

       Pictures  processed with this filter will seem to be somewhat dissolved
       or unfocussed (although they appear more coarse than  images  processed
       by something like pnmconvol).

       The  randomness  in  the image is limited before Netpbm 10.37 (December
       2006) -- if you run the program twice in the same second, you  may  get
       identical output.

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

       -randomseed=integer
              This  is the seed for the random number generator that generates
              the pixels.

              Use this to ensure you get the same image  on  separate  invoca-
              tions.

              This option was new in Netpbm 10.94 (March 2021).
