breduce(1)breduce(1)NAMEbreduce - read a portable bitmap and reduce it to 1/N
SYNOPSISbreduce [-options] in_file | - [out_file]
DESCRIPTIONbreduce reads a portable bitmap as input, reduces it by a factor of
1/N, and produces a portable bitmap as output.
This program is similar to pbmreduce(4), but is specialized for Docu‐
ment Image Processing. Black pixels have priority over white pixels on
the reduction process. Consequently, thin black lines are kept continu‐
ous on the image, while thin white lines may be broken.
If the string "-" is passed instead of in_file, breduce reads image
from standard input. If the output file out_file is not specified,
breduce writes image to standard output.
OPTIONS-div N Division factor. The image is reduced to 1/N. Note that N is an
integer. The default value is N=2.
-quiet Suppress messages.
