pnmpaste(1)             UNIX System V(21 February 1991)             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 specified, 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 editor
      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.
