PBMSHIFT(1l)PBMSHIFT(1l)NAMEpbmshift - shift a PBM-P4-file to the right lower corner
SYNOPSISpbmshift infile topmargin leftmargin outfile
DESCRIPTION
Pbmshift reads a PBM file in P4 format and produces a new PBM file in
P4 format. The output is shifted to the right by leftmargin pixels and
to the lower by topmargin pixels. This tool can be used to modify the
image produced as export output of the VCG tool from a graph before
printing it on paper. In this way, margins can be produced to position
the image on the paper. Negative margins are allowed.
WARNING
This utility does not work with the PBM-P1-format !!! It is not a gen‐
eral conversion utility but only a small demonstation how to deal with
the output of the VCG tool. There are excellent standard utilities for
PBM-Files by Jef Poskanzer (pnmmargin) but pbmshift should be much
faster on large files.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Jef Poskanzer is the initiator and main implementor of the PBM package
that contains various image processing routines and printer drivers.
