You +may use two hyphens instead of one. You may separate an option from +its value with a space instead of \fB=\fP. + +.UN description +.SH DESCRIPTION +.PP +This program is part of +.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c +\&. +.PP +\fBpamstack\fP reads multiple PAM or PNM images as input and +produces a PAM image as output, consisting of all the planes +(channels) of the inputs, stacked in the order specified. +.PP +For any one (but not more) of the input files, you may specify +"-" to mean Standard Input. If you specify no arguments at all, +the input is one file: Standard Input. +.PP +The output is the same dimensions as the inputs, except that the +depth is the sum of the depths of the inputs. It has the same maxval. +\fBpamstack\fP fails if the inputs are not all the same width, height, +and maxval. The tuple type is a null string unless you specify the +\fB-tupletype\fP option. +.PP +\fBpamstack\fP works with multi-image streams. It stacks the 1st +image in all the streams into one output image (the first one in the +output stream), then stacks the 2nd image in all the streams into the +2nd image in the output stream, and so on, until one of the streams +runs dry. It's like a matrix operation. +.PP +Before Netpbm 10.32 (February 2006), \fBpamstack\fP ignored all but +the first image in each input stream. +.PP +\fBpamchannel\fP does the opposite of \fBpamstack\fP: It extracts +individual planes from a single PAM. +.PP +Use +.BR "pamtopnm" (1)\c +\& to convert a suitable PAM +image to a more traditional PNM (PBM, PGM, or PPM) image. (But there's +no need to do that if you're going to feed it to a modern Netpbm program -- +they all take suitable PAM input directly). +.PP +One example of using \fBpamstack\fP is that some Netpbm programs +accept as input a PAM that represents graphic image with transparency +information. Taking a color image for example, this would be a PAM +with tuple type "RGB_ALPHA". In Netpbm, such images were +traditionally represented as two images - a PPM for the color and a +PGM for the transparency. To convert a PPM/PGM pair into +PAM(RGB_ALPHA) input that newer programs require, do something like +this: + +.nf +\f(CW +$ pamstack -tupletype=RGB_ALPHA myimage.ppm myalpha.pgm | \e + pamtouil >myimage.uil +\fP +.fi + +.UN options +.SH OPTIONS + + + +.TP +\fB-tupletype \fP\fItupletype\fP +This specifies the tuple type name to be recorded in the output.
