       pbmreduce - read a PBM image and reduce it N times



       You can abbreviate any option to its shortest unique prefix.


       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pbmreduce  reads  a PBM image as input and reduces it by a factor of N,
       producing a PBM image as output.

       pbmreduce duplicates a lot of the  functionality  of  pamditherbw;  you
       could  do something like pamscale | pamditherbw, but pbmreduce is a lot

       You can use pbmreduce to ’re-halftone’ an image.  Let’s say you have  a
       the -value option.


       By default, pbmreduce does the halftoning after the reduction via bous-
       trophedonic  Floyd-Steinberg  error diffusion; however, you can use the
       -threshold option to specify simple thresholding.   This  gives  better
       results when reducing line drawings.

       The  -value option alters the thresholding value for all quantizations.
       images; below 0.5 means lighter.
