pbmscale.c

From:	Chel van Gennip <chel@bazis.nl>
To:	gert@greenie.muc.de
Subject: Re: FAX software to run under SCO ????
[...]

To improve the speed of handling faxes I made a simple pbmscale program to
scale portable bitmaps without converting them to graymaps. I'll include the
source in this mail. To use it with pbmplus you only need some trivial
changes in pbmmerge.c an Makefile.

Typical usage:

cat faxn... |g3topbm|pbmscale -scale 0.35 -aspect 2.0| pnmtoxdm |xdum

or

cat faxn... |g3topbm|pbmscale -scale 1.35 -aspect 2.0| pbmtolj | lp -d hpdeskjet

[...]
From:	Chel van Gennip <chel@bazis.nl>
To:	gert@greenie.muc.de

>Do you have some explantation of all the switches?

pbmscale [-scale N] [-aspect N] [-stretch] [pbmfile]";
   -scale N Scale x and y by factor N, eg. -scale 1.35
   -aspect N, N is multiplier for the y scale factor eg. -aspect 1.9
   -stretch equivalent with -aspect 2.0
   So the resulting bitmap is <scale>*x by <scale>*<aspect>*y dots.

Chel
