## NAME

ppmrelief - compute a relief of a PPM image

## SYNOPSIS

ppmrelief [ppmfile]

## DESCRIPTION

This program is part of Netpbm.

ppmrelief reads a PPM image as input, and writes a relief of that image as a PPM image as output.

The relief process is described in "Beyond Photography" by Holzmann, equation 3.19. It's a sort of edge-detection and is essentially a convolution with this matrix:

        |  1  0  0 |
        |  0  0  0 |
        |  0  0 -1 |

## OPTIONS

There are no command line options defined specifically for ppmrelief, but it recognizes the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (See Common Options.)
