.SH NAME
pamsumm - Summarize the samples in a Netpbm image arithmetically

.SH SYNOPSIS

All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.
You may use two hyphens instead of one. You may separate an option
name and its value with white space instead of an equals sign.
.UN description
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
This program is part of
.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
\&.
.PP
\fBpamsumm\fP reads a Netpbm image (PNM or PAM) and performs a
summary function over all the samples in all the rows, columns, and planes
and prints the result to Standard Output.
.PP
\fBpamsumm\fP performs the operation on the actual sample values. In the
case of a PGM or PPM or PAM equivalent (i.e. a visual image), this is not the
same as the light intensities represented by those samples. See the format
specifications of
.BR "PGM" (5)\c
\&,
.BR "PPM" (5)\c
\&, and
.BR "PAM" (5)\c
\&, for the precise
meanings of samples in these formats. If you want to do arithmetic on light
intensities of such a visual image, you can use \fBpnmgamma\fP to convert it
to one with samples proportional to light intensity, and then
use \fBpamsumm\fP on the result.
.PP
If you want to summarize by column (e.g. add up the columns
separately), use \fBpamsummcol\fP. If you want to summarize by row,
use a combination of \fBpamsummcol\fP and \fBpamflip\fP. If you
want to summarize a particular plane, use \fBpamchannel\fP to
extract it and then \fBpamsumm\fP.
.UN options
.SH OPTIONS
.PP
You must specify exactly one of \fB-sum\fP, \fB-mean\fP,
\fB-min\fP, or \fB-max\fP.
.TP
\fB-sum\fP
.sp
This option makes the summary function addition.
.TP
\fB-mean\fP
.sp
This option makes the summary function arithmetic mean.
.TP
\fB-min\fP
.sp
This option makes the summary function arithmetic minimum.
.TP
\fB-max\fP
.sp
This option makes the summary function arithmetic maximum.
.TP
\fB-normalize\fP
.sp
This option causes each sample to be normalized to a fraction
(in the range 0..1) so the result is independent of the image's
maxval. E.g. if you request the mean of an image which has maxval
200 and all the samples have value 50, \fBpamsumm\fP will give you
50 as an answer. But \fBpamsumm -normalize\fP will give you .25.
.sp
If instead you want a result that is independent of maxval but still
in integers, you can use \fBpamdepth\fP to convert the input to some
standard maxval and not use \fB-normalize\fP. For example, if you want
the mean brightness of a PPM image, on a scale of 0 to 99, do
.nf
\f(CW
pamdepth 99 myimage.ppm | pamsumm -mean
\fP
.fi
.sp
This option was new in Netpbm 10.22 (April 2004)
.TP
\fB-brief\fP
.sp
This option causes \fBpamsumm\fP to display the answer as a bare
number, rather than in a complete sentence.
.sp
This option was new in Netpbm 10.22 (April 2004)
