+.SH NAME
+pamedge - edge-detect an image
+
+.UN synopsis
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+
+\fBpamedge\fP [\fIimagefile\fP]
+
+.UN description
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This program is part of
+.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
+\&.
+.PP
+\fBpamedge\fP reads a Netpbm image (PNM or PAM) and produces
+an image that outlines the edges.
+.PP
+The output image is of the same type as the input, except that the
+maxval of the output is at least 255 and if the input is PBM, the output
+is PGM.
+.PP
+You can pipe the result through \f(CWpamditherbw -threshold\fP and play
+with the threshold value to get a PBM (bilevel image) of the edges.
+
+The edge detection technique used is to take the Pythagorean sum of
+two Sobel gradient operators at 90 degrees to each other. For more
+details see "Digital Image Processing" by Gonzalez and
+Wintz, chapter 7.
+.PP
+The maxval of the output is the same as the maxval of the input, except at
+least 255. The effect is better with larger maxvals, so you may want to
+increase the maxval of the input by running it through \fBpamdepth\fP first.

+.UN history
+.SH HISTORY
+.PP
+\fBpamedge\fP was added to Netpbm in Release 10.14 (March 2003).
+It replaced \fBpgmedge\fP, which was the same thing, but worked only on
+PGM and PBM images.
