+
+.UN description
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This program is part of
+.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
+\&.
+.PP
+\fBpamrestack\fP rearranges the pixels of a Netpbm image into different
+size rows. E.g. if an image is 100 pixels wide and 50 pixels high, you can
+rearrange it to 125 wide and 40 high. In that case, 25 pixels from the start
+of the 2nd row of the input would be moved to the end of the 1st row of input,
+50 pixels from the 3rd row would be moved to the 2nd row, etc.
+.PP
+Put another way, \fBpamrestack\fP arranges all the input rows into one
+long sequence and produces output rows therefrom, in FIFO order.
+.PP
+Input is from Standard Input if you don't specify the input
+file \fIpamfile\fP.
+.PP
+Output is to Standard Output.
+.PP
+\fBpamrestack\fP works on a multi-image stream. It cuts each image in the
+stream independently and produces a multi-image stream output.

+.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
+\&), \fBpamrestack\fP recognizes the following
+command line options:
+
+
+.TP
+\fB-width=\fP\fIwidth\fP
+The width of the output. If this option is not specified, the output will
+ consist of a single row wide enough to contain all the pixels of the input
+ image.
+
+.TP
+\fB-trim=\fP{\fBfill\fP|\fBcrop\fP|\fBabort\fP}
+This option specifies what to do when the new width does not cleanly
+divide the number of pixels in the input image.
+
+
+.TP
+\fBfill\fP
+
+(Default) Complete the final row by adding black pixels as necessary.
+
+.TP
+\fBcrop\fP
+
+Discard the final partial row. If this means there is nothing to
+ output, fail the program.
+
+.TP
+\fBabort\fP
+
+Fail the program..
+
+
+.TP
+\fB-verbose\fP
+Print information about the processing to Standard Error.
+
+
+
+.UN usage
+.SH USAGE
+.PP
+\fBpamrestack\fP is a general editor with many possible uses.
+
+.IP \(bu
+
+ \fBpamrestack\fP can rearrange into rectangles single-dimension images
+ produced by programs such as \fBppmhist\fP and \fBpamseq\fP. This makes
+ the output easier to examine with a viewer. Conversely, \fBpamrestack\fP
+ can be used to convert a normal rectangular image into one wide row or one
+ tall column if that is desirable for compression, conversion, or analysis.
+
+.IP \(bu
+
+ \fBpamrestack\fP can repair images corrupted by an incorrect width value
+ in the header. Images grabbed from the framebuffer device often exhibit
+ this problem.
+
+.IP \(bu
+\fBpamrestack\fP can be used with \fBpamdice\fP, \fBpamundice\fP,
+ \fBpamcat\fP, etc. to divide and combine images in the process of
+ interlacing.
+
+
+
+.UN examples
+.SH EXAMPLES
+
+
+.IP \(bu
+Rearrange the one-dimensional output of \fBpamseq\fP into a square:
+
+.nf
+\f(CW
+pamseq 3 255 | pamrestack -width=4096
+\fP
+
+.fi
+
+.IP \(bu
+Combine two files, each 600 pixels wide, one with the odd rows and
+ another with the even rows, to construct an interlaced image:
+
+.nf
+\f(CW
+pamcat -leftright oddrows.ppm evenrows.ppm | pamrestack -width=600
+\fP
+
+.fi
+
+
+.IP \(bu
+Like the above, but invert all pixels in the even rows left to right
+ to produce a serpentine interlace:
+
+.nf
+\f(CW
+ pamflip -leftright evenrows.ppm |
+ pamcat -leftright oddrows.ppm - |
+ pamrestack -width 600
