+.UN description
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This program is part of
+.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
+\&.
+.PP
+\fBpamlookup\fP takes a two dimensional array of indices and a lookup
+table as input. For each position in the index array, it looks up the index
+in the lookup table and places the result of the lookup in the output image.
+
+There are two ways of indexing the lookup table: \fIwhole tuple\fP and
+\fIby plane\fP. The \fB-byplane\fP option controls which \fBpamlookup\fP
+does.
+.PP
+In the simplest form of whole tuple indexing, each index in the index array
+is a single whole number and the lookup table associates a whole tuple with
+each possible whole number index. So for example, the index array might have
+at Row 2, Column 9 the value 23. The lookup table might associate the tuple
+(1,2,3) with the value 23. In that case, the output image contains the tuple
+(1,2,3) at Row 2, Column 9.
+.PP
+In a more complex form of whole tuple indexing, each index in the index
+array is an ordered pair of whole numbers and the lookup table associates a
+whole tuple with each possible ordered pair index. Modifying the example
+above, the index value could be (23, 5) instead of 23.
+.PP
+With whole tuple indexing, the output thus has the same width and height as
+the index image, and tuple depth and type and maxval are determined by the
+lookup table.
+.PP
+With whole tuple indexing, if the index image has depth 1, its sample
+values are single whole number indices. If the index image has depth greater
+than 1, its tuples are ordered pair indices composed of the first and second
+sample in the tuple.
+.PP
+In by-plane indexing, the index image contains whole number indices. Each
+sample in the index image is an index. The lookup table maps each whole
+number index to another whole number. \fBpamlookup\fP looks up the sample at
+each row, column, and plane in the index image in the lookup table and uses
+the resulting whole number as the sample value for the same row, column, and
+plane in the output.
+.PP
+With by-plane indexing, the output thus has the same dimensions as the
+index image an the same maxval as the lookup image.
+
+
+.UN lookupimage
+.SS The Lookup Table Image
+.PP
+The lookup table is a PAM or PNM image. If the index image
+contains whole number indices, the lookup image is a single row and
+the index is a column number. The lookup result is the value of the
+tuple or pixel at the indicated column in the one row in the lookup
+table. If the index image contains ordered pair indices, the first
+element of the ordered pair is a row number and the second element of
+the ordered pair is a column number. The lookup result is the value
+of the tuple or pixel at the indicated row and column in the lookup
+table.
+.PP
+The width of the lookup image should normally be the maxval of the index
+image plus one, so that each possible index sample value corresponds to one
+entry in the lookup table. There are two ways \fBpamlookup\fP deals
+with a lookup image that does not have such a width:
+
+
+.IP \(bu
+Scale the lookup image to the required width. \fBpamlookup\fP always
+does this with by plane indexing, and with whole tuple indexing, does it when
+you specify \fB-fit\fP.
+
+.IP \(bu
+Use a default value for indices that exceed the width of the lookup image
+and ignore lookup image columns beyond the maxval of the index
+image. \fBpamlookup\fP does this with whole tuple indexing when you don't
+specify \fB-fit\fP.
+.sp
+You specify the default value with a \fB-missingcolor\fP option; it defaults
+to the value from the top left corner of the lookup image.
+
+.PP
+With ordered pair indexes (which implies whole tuple indexing), the same
+rule applies to the height of the index image as to the width.
+.PP
+The mandatory \fB-lookupfile\fP option identifies the file containing the
+lookup table image. \fB-\fP means Standard Input. It won't work if both the
+index image file and lookup table file are Standard Input.
+.PP
+You can use \fBppmmake\fP and \fBpamcat\fP to create a lookup table file.
+
+
+.UN wholetuple
+.SS Example - Whole Tuple Indexing
+.PP
+Here is an example of \fBpamlookup\fP's function with whole
+tuple indexing (\fB-byplane\fP not specified).
+.PP
+Consider an index image consisting of a 3x2x1 PAM as follows:
+
+.TS
+l l l.
+0 1 0
+2 2 2
+.TE
+
+and a lookup table consisting of a 3x1 PPM image as follows:
+
+.TS
+l l l.
+red yellow beige
+.TE
+
+The lookup table above says Index 0 corresponds to the color red,
+Index 1 corresponds to yellow, and Index 2 corresponds to beige. The output
+of \fBpamlookup\fP is the following PPM image:
+
+.TS
+l l l.
+red yellow red
+beige beige beige
+.TE
+.PP
+Now let's look at an example of the more complex case where the
+indices are ordered pairs of whole numbers instead of whole numbers.
+Our index image will be this 3x2x2 PAM image:
+
+.TS
+l l l.
+(0,0) (0,1) (0,0)
+(1,1) (1,0) (0,0)
+.TE
+
+Our lookup table for the example will be this two dimensional PPM:
+
+.TS
+l l l.
+red yellow red
+black green red
+.TE
+
+
+.UN byplane
+.SS Example - By Plane Indexing
+.PP
+Here is an example of \fBpamlookup\fP's function with by plane
+tuple indexing (\fB-byplane\fP specified).
+.PP
+Consider an index image consisting of a 3x2x3 PAM as follows:
+
+.TS
+l l l.
+(0,0,0) (1,0,0) (2,0,0)
+(2,2,0) (2,0,2) (2,0,0)
+.TE
+
+and a lookup table consisting of a 3x1x1 PAM image with maxval 7 as follows:
+
+.TS
+l l l.
+3 4 7
+.TE
+
+The lookup table above says Index 0 corresponds to the sample value 3, Index 1
+corresponds to 4, and Index 2 corresponds to 7. The output of
+\fBpamlookup\fP is the following 3x2x3 PAM image:
+
+.TS
+l l l.
+(3,3,3) (4,3,3) (7,3,3)
+(7,7,3) (7,3,7) (7,3,3)
+.TE
+
+
+.UN misc
+.SS Miscellaneous
+.PP
+The \fIindexfile\fP argument identifies the file containing the index PAM
+or PNM image. \fB-\fP means Standard Input.
+It won't work if both the
+index image file and lookup table file are Standard Input.
+
+The output image goes to Standard Output.
+.PP
+If you want to use two separate 1-plane images as indices (so that your
+output reflects the combination of both inputs), use \fBpamstack\fP to combine
+the two into one two-plane image (and use a 2-dimensional lookup table image).
+
+
+.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
+\&), \fBpamlookup\fP recognizes the following
+command line options:
+
+
+.TP
+\fB-lookupfile=\fP\fIlookupfile\fP
+\fIlookupfile\fP names the file that contains the PAM or PNM
+image that is the lookup table. This option is mandatory.
+
+.TP
+\fB-byplane\fP
+This options selects by plane indexing. The default is whole tuple
+indexing.
+.sp
+This option was new in Netpbm 10.72 (September 2015). Before that, there
+is no by plane indexing.
+
+.TP
+\fB-missingcolor=\fP\fIcolor\fP
+This option is meaningful only if the lookup image (and therefore the
+output) is a PNM image. \fIcolor\fP specifies the color that
+is to go in the output wherever the index from the input is not present
+in the lookup table (not present means the index exceeds the dimensions
+of the lookup image -- e.g. index is 100 but the lookup image is a 50 x 1
+PPM).
+.sp
+If you don't specify this option or \fB-fit\fP, \fBpamlookup\fP
+uses the value from the top left corner of the lookup image whenever
+an index exceeds the dimensions of the lookup image.
+.sp
+Specify the color (\fIcolor\fP) as described for the
+.UR libnetpbm_image.html#colorname
+argument of the \fBpnm_parsecolor()\fP library routine
+.UE
+\&.
+.sp
+Another way to deal with a too-small lookup image is to use the
+\fB-fit\fP option.
+.sp
+This option has no effect if you also specify \fB-fit\fP or
+\fB-byplane\fP.
+
+.TP
+\fB-fit\fP
+This option says to shrink or expand the lookup image as necessary
+to fit the indices present in the index image, per the index image's
+maxval. For example, if your index image has a single plane and a
+maxval of 255 and your lookup image is 1 row of 10 columns,
+\fBpamlookup\fP stretches your lookup image to 255 columns before
+doing the lookups. \fBpamlookup\fP does the stretching (or
+shrinking) with the
+.BR "\fBpamscale\fP" (1)\c
+\&
+program.
+.sp
+When you use \fB-fit\fP, \fBpamlookup\fP never fails or warns you
+because of invalid lookup image dimensions, and the \fB-missingcolor\fP
+option has no effect.
+.sp
+\fB-fit\fP has no effect when you specify \fB-byplane\fP.
+\fBpamlookup\fP always has the behavior requested by \fB-fit\fP when it does
+by plane indexing.
+
+
+
+.UN examples
+.SH EXAMPLES
+
+.SS Example: rainfall map
+.PP
+Say you have a set of rainfall data in a single plane PAM image.
+The rows and columns of the PAM indicate latitude and longitude. The
+sample values are the annual rainfall in (whole) centimeters. The highest
+rainfall value in the image is 199 centimeters. The image is in the file
+rainfall.pam.
+.PP
+You want to produce a PPM rainfall map with green for the wettest places,
+red for the driest, and other colors in between.
+.PP
+First, compose a lookup table image, probably with a graphical editor
+and the image blown way up so you can work with individual pixels. The
+image must have a single row and 200 columns. Make the leftmost pixel
+red and the rightmost pixel green and choose appropriate colors in between.
+Call it colorkey.ppm.
+
+.nf
+\f(CW
+ pamlookup rainfall.pam -lookupfile=colorkey.ppm >rainfallmap.ppm
+\fP
+
+.fi
+.PP
+Now lets say you're too lazy to type in 200 color values and nobody really
+cares about the places that have more than 99 centimeters of annual
+rainfall. In that case, just make colorkey.ppm 100 columns wide and do
+this:
+
+.nf
+\f(CW
+ pamlookup rainfall.ppm -lookupfile=colorkey.ppm -missingcolor=black \e
+ >rainfallmap.ppm
+\fP
+
+.fi
+
+Now if there are areas that get more than 100 centimeters of rainfall, they
+will just show up black in the output.
+
+.SS Example: graphical diff
+.PP
+Say you want to compare two PBM (black and white) images visually. Each
+consists of black foreground pixels on a white background. You want to
+create an image that contains background where both images contain background
+and foreground where both images contain foreground. But where Image 1
+has a foreground pixel and Image 2 does not, you want red in the output;
+where Image 2 has a foreground pixel and Image 1 does not, you want green.
+.PP
+First, we create a single image that contains the information from both
+input PBMs:
+
+.nf
+\f(CW
+ pamstack image1.pbm image2.pbm >bothimages.pam
+\fP
+
+.fi
+
+Note that this image has 1 of 4 possible tuple values at each location:
+(0,0), (0,1), (1,0), or (1,1).
+.PP
+Now, we create a lookup table that we can index with those 4 values:
+
+.nf
+\f(CW
+ ppmmake white 1 1 >white.ppm
+ ppmmake black 1 1 >black.ppm
+ ppmmake red 1 1 >red.ppm
+ ppmmake green 1 1 >green.ppm
+ pamcat -leftright black.ppm red.ppm >blackred.ppm
+ pamcat -leftright green.ppm white.ppm >greenwhite.ppm
+ pamcat -topbottom blackred.ppm greenwhite.ppm >lookup.ppm
+\fP
+
+.fi
+.PP
+Finally, we look up the indices from our index in our lookup table and
+produce the output:
+
+.nf
+\f(CW
+ pamlookup bothimages.ppm -lookupfile=lookup.ppm >imagediff.ppm
