26 You can use the minimum unique abbreviation of the options. You can
27 use two hyphens instead of one. You can separate an option name from
28 its value with white space instead of an equals sign.

33 This program is part of Netpbm(1).
34
35 pnmindex creates an index image containing thumbnail (small) versions
36 of a bunch of PNM files you supply. (Akin to a photographic "contact
37 sheet."
38
39 pnmindex labels each thumbnail and, optionally, contains a title.
40
41 If you just want to concatenate some images together in a grid, use
42 pamundice for that.
43
44 If you want to take apart the image you generated with pnmindex, use
45 pamdice or pamcut.
46
47 The program can generate large temporary files. By default, these go
48 in directory /tmp, but you can usse the TMPDIR environment variable to
49 have them somewhere else.
50
51
52
54 -size=N
55 The size of each thumbnail. The image is scaled to fit maxi‐
56 mally inside a N x N pixel box without changing its aspect
57 ratio. Default is 100.
58
59
60 -across=N
61 The number of thumbnails in each row. Default is 6.
62
63
64 -colors=N
65 The maximum number of colors allowed in the overall image. If
66 it would otherwise have more colors than these, pnmindex quan‐
67 tizes the result. The default is 256.
68
69 However, this value is meaningless if you specify the -noquant
70 option.
71
72
73 -black This controls the color of the padding between the images; nor‐
74 mally it's white and the labels are black lettering on white
75 background, but the -black option reverses this.
76
77
78 -title=title
79 Specifies a title top place at the top of the image. Default is
80 no title.
81
82
83 -quant Enables quantization (to the number of colors specified by -col‐
84 ors). Quantization is on by default but you can disable it with
85 -noquant.
86
87
88 -noquant
89 See -quant.
