# pnmtile(1)

replicate an image to fill a specified region

## NAME

pnmtile - replicate an image to fill a specified region

## SYNOPSIS

**pnmtile** *width* *height* \[*pnmfile*\]

## DESCRIPTION

This program is part of **Netpbm**(1) .

**pnmtile** reads a PNM image as input.  It replicates it to fill an area of the specified dimensions and produces an image in the same format as output.

You can do pretty much the reverse with **pamdice**.

You can explicitly concatenate an image to itself (or anything else) with **pamcat**.

If you're trying to tile multiple images into a superimage, see **pamundice** or (for a thumbnail sheet) **pnmindex**.

## OPTIONS

There are no command line options defined specifically for **pnmtile**, but it recognizes the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (See \
  Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ .)
