- Reads a portable bitmap as input. Reduces it by a factor of
- _N, and produces a portable bitmap as output.
-
- _p_b_m_r_e_d_u_c_e duplicates a lot of the functionality of _p_g_m_t_o_p_b_m;
- you could do something like ppppnnnnmmmmssssccccaaaalllleeee |||| ppppggggmmmmttttooooppppbbbbmmmm,,,, but
- _p_b_m_r_e_d_u_c_e is a lot faster.
-
- _p_b_m_r_e_d_u_c_e can be used to "re-halftone" an image. Let's say
- you have a scanner that only produces black&white, not
- grayscale, and it does a terrible job of halftoning (most
- b&w scanners fit this description). One way to fix the
- halftoning is to scan at the highest possible resolution,
- say 300 dpi, and then reduce by a factor of three or so
- using _p_b_m_r_e_d_u_c_e. You can even correct the brightness of an
- image, by using the ----vvvvaaaalllluuuueeee flag.
-
- OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
- By default, the halftoning after the reduction is done via
- boustrophedonic Floyd-Steinberg error diffusion; however,
- the ----tttthhhhrrrreeeesssshhhhoooolllldddd flag can be used to specify simple
- thresholding. This gives better results when reducing line
- drawings.
-
- The ----vvvvaaaalllluuuueeee flag alters the thresholding value for all
- quantizations. It should be a real number between 0 and 1.
- Above 0.5 means darker images; below 0.5 means lighter.
-
- All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique
- prefix.
