NAME

   pnmsmooth - smooth out an image

SYNOPSIS

   pnmsmooth [-size width height] [-dump dumpfile] [pnmfile]

DESCRIPTION

   Smooths  out  an  image by replacing each pixel with the average of its
   width X height neighbors.   It  is  implemented  as  a  C  progam  that
   generates a PGM convolution matrix and then invokes pnmconvol.

OPTIONS

   -size width height
          Specifies the size of the convolution matrix.  Default size is a
          3x3 matrix.  Width and height sizes must be odd.   Maximum  size
          of  convolution  matrix  is  limited  by the maximum value for a
          pixel such that (width * height * 2) must not exceed the maximum
          pixel value.

   -dump dumpfile
          Generates  and  saves  the  convolution  file only.  Use of this
          option does not invoke pnmconvol.
