+.UN description
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This program is part of
+.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
+\&.
+.PP
+\fBpamenlarge\fP reads a Netpbm image as input, replicates its pixels
+\fIN\fP times, and produces a Netpbm image as output. The output is
+the same type of image as the input.
+.PP
+If you enlarge by a factor of 3 or more, you should probably add a
+\fBpnmsmooth\fP step; otherwise, you can see the original pixels in
+the resulting image.
+.PP
+For PBM images, \fBpamenlarge\fP uses special fast algorithms for scale
+factors up to 10. For larger factors, it uses a simple but slow algorithm.
+As a result, you can often get a significantly faster scale by running
+\fBpamenlarge\fP multiple times. For example, enlarging by 3 and
+then by 5 is faster than enlarging once by 15. And because the algorithms
+are different for the different scale factors, some faster than others,
+the order matters too. For example, the following examples all produce
+the same output -- an image 15 times bigger on edge than the input --
+but at different speeds, each being faster than the one before.

+.PP
+The special fast cases for factors up to 10 have existed since Release
+10.50 (March 2010). The special cases for 1, 2, 3, and 5 go back to Release
+10.41 (December 2007). Before 10.41, there are no special scale factors and
+PBM enlargement is significantly slower than today for all scale factors.
+.PP
+\fBpamenlarge\fP can enlarge only by integer factors. The slower
+but more general \fBpamscale\fP can enlarge or reduce by arbitrary
+factors. \fBpamscale\fP allows you to enlarge by resampling, which
+gives you smoother enlargements. But it is much slower.
+.PP
+\fBpamstretch\fP is another enlarging program that enlarges by
+integer factors. It does a simple kind of resampling that gives you a
+smoothed enlargement with less computational cost.
+.PP
+\fBpbmreduce\fP can reduce by integer factors, but only for PBM
+images.
+
+.UN arguments
+.SH ARGUMENTS
+.PP
+As with most Netpbm programs, you can give the input file name as an
+argument or omit that argument and have it come from Standard Input (and
+you can specify '-' for the argument to specify Standard Input
+explicitly).
+.PP
+You can also specify the scale factor as an argument, for backward
+compatibility, but the preferred way to do that is with a \fB-scale\fP
+option, because it is easier to remember and read that way. The scale factor
+argument goes before the file name argument.
+
+
+
+
+.UN options
+.SH OPTIONS
+.PP
+In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
+(most notably \fB-quiet\fP, see
+.UR index.html#commonoptions
+ Common Options
+.UE
+\&), \fBpamenlarge\fP recognizes the following
+command line options:
+
+
+.TP
+\fB-scale=\fP\fIinteger\fP
+.TP
+\fB-xscale=\fP\fIinteger\fP
+.TP
+\fB-yscale=\fP\fIinteger\fP
+These specify the scale factor. \fB-xscale\fP specifies the horizontal
+scale factor; \fB-yscale\fP specifies the vertical scale factor
+and \fB-scale\fP specifies both.
+.sp
+If you specify \fB-xscale\fP but not \fB-yscale\fP, \fBpamenlarge\fP
+does not scale vertically (i.e. the vertical scale factor is 1). The converse
+applies if you specify \fB-yscale\fP and not \fB-xscale\fP.
+.sp
+You cannot specify \fB-scale\fP and also \fB-xscale\fP or \fByscale\fP.
+.sp
+You must specify at least one of these options, unless you use the
+deprecaated method of specifying the scale factor via argument.
+.sp
+These options were all new in Netpbm 10.86 (March 2019). Before that, use
+the scale argument.
+
+
+
+
+.UN history
+.SH HISTORY
+.PP
+\fBpamenlarge\fP was new in Netpbm 10.25 (October 2004). It is
+designed as a replacement for \fBpnmenlarge\fP by Jef Poskanzer,
+which was in Pbmplus as far back as 1989. The major difference is that
+\fBpamenlarge\fP can enlarge PAM format images in addition to PNM.
