NAME
       pnmpaste - paste a rectangle into a portable anymap

SYNOPSIS
       pnmpaste [-replace|-or|-and |-xor] frompnmfile x y [intop-
       nmfile]

DESCRIPTION
       Reads two portable anymaps as input.   Inserts  the  first
       anymap into the second at the specified location, and pro-
       duces a portable anymap the same size  as  the  second  as
       output.  If the second anymap is not specified, it is read
       from stdin.  The x and y can be negative,  in  which  case
       they  are  interpreted relative to the right and bottom of
       the anymap, respectively.

       This tool is most useful in combination with pnmcut.   For
       instance,  if  you want to edit a small segment of a large
       image, and your image editor cannot edit the large  image,
       you  can  cut  out the segment you are interested in, edit
       it, and then paste it back in.

       Another useful companion tool is pbmmask.

       The optional flag specifies  the  operation  to  use  when
       doing  the  paste.   The  default is -replace.  The other,
       logical operations are only allowed if both  input  images
       are bitmaps.  These operations act as if white is TRUE and
       black is FALSE.

       All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique pre-
       fix.
