pbmclean
flip isolated pixels in portable bitmap
Synopsis
pbmclean
[-minneighbors=N]
[-black|-white] [pbmfile]
You can use the
minimum unique abbreviation of the options. You can use two
hyphens instead of one. You can separate an option name from
its value with white space instead of an equals sign.
Before December
2001, pbmclean accepted -N instead of
-minneighbors.

description
pbmclean
cleans up a PBM image of random specs. It reads a PBM image
as input and outputs a PBM that is the same as the input
except with every pixel which has less than N
identical neighbours inverted.
The default for
N is 1 - only completely isolated pixels are
flipped.
(A value of
N greater than 8 generates a completely inverted
image (but use pnminvert to do that) -- or a
completely white or completely black image with the
-black or -white option).
pbmclean
considers the area beyond the edges of the image to be
white. (This matters when you consider pixels right on the
edge of the image).
You can use
pbmclean to clean up "snow" on bitmap
images.
options
-black
-white
Flip pixels of the specified color. By default, if you
specify neither -black nor -white,
pbmclean flips both black and white pixels which do
not have sufficient identical neighbors. If you specify
-black, pbmclean leaves the white pixels alone
and just erases isolated black pixels. Vice versa for
-white. You may specify both -black and
-white to get the same as the default behavior.
