pamchannel - extract channels from a PAM image |
|
pamchannel [-infile infile] [-tupletype tupletype] [channum ...] Minimum unique abbreviation of option is acceptable. You may use double hyphens instead of single hyphen to denote options. You may use white space in place of the equals sign to separate an option name from its value. |

This program is part of Netpbm(1). pamchannel reads a PAM or PNM image as input and produces a PAM image as output, consisting of the indicated channels (planes) of the input. The output is the same dimensions as the input, except that the depth is the number of channum arguments you supply. The tuple type is a null string unless you specify the -tupletype option. This program works on multi-image streams, producing a corresponding output stream. But before Netpbm 10.32 (February 2006), it ignored every image after the first. pamstack does the opposite of pamchannel: It takes multiple PAM or PNM images as input and stacks their planes (channels) on top of one another to yield a single PAM. |

-infile infile |
|
This specifies the input file, which defaults to Standard Input. You may specify - to select Standard Input explicitly. This is a little unconventional for Netpbm programs, which usually have the input file specification as an argument. For pamchannel, the arguments are channel numbers. |
|
-tupletype tupletype |
|
This specified the tuple type name to be recorded in the output. You may use any string up to 255 characters. Some programs recognize some names. If you omit this option, the default tuple type name is null. |

pamchannel was new, along with the PAM format, in Netpbm 9.7 (August 2000). |
