✨ NAME ✨

pnmtile — replicate an image to fill a specified region 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pnmtile width height [pnmfile]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so bestie, first things first: this program is part of Netpbm(1). 💅 you're in the right family.

pnmtile reads a PNM image as input (that's your pnmfile, or stdin if you don't hand it one). then it replicates it — like, copy-pastes that pic over and over — until it fills an area of the dimensions you specified with width and height. and the output image? same format as whatever you gave it. no cap. 👑

so basically you say "i want this exact little image, but make it a whole width × height situation" and it goes off and does exactly that. main character behavior fr fr. ✨

if you want the reverse — slicing a big image up into pieces instead of smushing one into a big area — you can pretty much do that with pamdice. 🔪

if you just want to explicitly concatenate an image to itself (or honestly to anything else), pamcat is your girl. 🐱

and if what you're actually trying to do is tile multiple different images together into one superimage, that's a whole different vibe — go look at pamundice, or pnmindex if you specifically want a thumbnail sheet. 🎀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

ngl there are no command line options defined specifically for pnmtile. it's a simple girl, she just does the thing. 🙈

but bestie, it does recognize all the options common to every program based on libnetpbm. so go check the Common Options section for all that goodness. (See Common Options.) 🫶
