NAME
       pamslice	- extract one line of values out of a Netpbm image

SYNOPSIS
       pamslice	 {-row=rownumber  | -column=columnnumber} [-plane=planenumber]
       [imagefile]

OPTION USAGE
       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.

DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pamslice	extracts one line of tuples (pixels) out of a Netpbm image and
       prints  their  values  in  a  table.  A line means a row	or column.  It
       shows you a one-dimensional cross section of a  two-dimensional	image.
       (With  the  -plane  option,  it	can be thought of as a one-dimensional
       cross-section of	a three-dimensional image).

       The table has one line per tuple, consisting of	blank-separated	 ASCII
       decimal	numbers.   The first number is the column number if you	speci-
       fied a row slice	or the row number if you  specified  a	column	slice.
       The  rest  of  the numbers are the sample values	in plane number	order.
       For a PBM or PGM	input, there is	only one  plane.   For	a  PPM	input,
       Plane  0	is red,	Plane 1	is green, and Plane 2 is blue.	See the	speci-
       fications of the	image formats for details on exactly what  these  num-
       bers mean.

       If you want to see the entire raster of a Netpbm	image, use pamtable.

OPTIONS
       -row=rownumber
		   This	 indicates  that the slice is to be horizontal -- i.e.
	      one row of the
		   image -- and	indicates which	row.  Rows are	numbered  from
	      the top
		   starting with 0.

	      You cannot specify both -row and -column.

       -column=colnumber
		   This	indicates that the slice is to be vertical -- i.e. one
	      column of	the
		   image -- and	indicates which	column.	 Columns are  numbered
	      from the left
		   starting with 0.

	      You cannot specify both -row and -column.

       -plane=planenumber
		   This	specifies that you are interested in only one plane of
	      the image
		   and which one.  Planes are numbered from 0 and  have	 mean-
	      ings that	vary
		   on  the  type  of  image.   In a PPM	image, Plane 0 is red,
	      Plane 1 is
		   green, and Plane 2 is blue.

	      If you don't specify -plane, you get all the planes -- each
		   line	of output has multiple numbers in addition to the  se-
	      quence number.
		   If you do specify -plane, each line of output contains one
		   number in addition to the sequence number.

       -xmgr
		   This	 option	 causes	pamslice to format the output as input
	      for a
		   xmgr	so you can plot	it.  The only difference  this	option
	      makes
		   is  that it adds header information to the beginning	of the
	      output.

HISTORY
       pamslice	replaced pgmslice in Netpbm 10.3 (June 2002).  It was backward
       compatible,  but	 worked	 on  Netpbm  images other than PGM and PBM and
       added the -plane	and -xmgr options.

AUTHOR
       Jos Dingjan <jos@tuatha.org> wrote pgmslice after being unable to  find
       the  source  code  to Marco Beijersbergen's program with	the same name.
       Bryan Henderson converted it to pamslice.
