NAME
       pgmnorm - normalize the contrast in a portable graymap

SYNOPSIS
       pgmnorm [-bpercent N | -bvalue N] [-wpercent N | -wvalue N] [pgmfile]

DESCRIPTION
       Reads  a portable graymap as input.  Normalizes the contrast by forcing
       the lightest pixels to white, the darkest pixels to black, and linearly
       rescaling  the ones in between; and produces a portable graymap as out‐
       put.

OPTIONS
       By default, the darkest 2 percent of all pixels are  mapped  to	black,
       and the lightest 1 percent are mapped to white.	You can override these
       percentages by using the -bpercent and  -wpercent  flags,  or  you  can
       specify	the  exact  pixel values to be mapped by using the -bvalue and
       -wvalue flags.  Appropriate numbers for the flags can  be  gotten  from
       the  pgmhist  tool.   If	 you  just  want to enhance the contrast, then
       choose values at elbows in the histogram; e.g. if value	29  represents
       3%  of the image but value 30 represents 20%, choose 30 for bvalue.  If
       you want to lighten the image, then set bvalue to  0  and  just	fiddle
       with  wvalue;  similarly, to darken the image, set wvalue to maxval and
       play with bvalue.

       All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.
