[pnmenlarge(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/pnmenlarge/1/markdown)                          General Commands Manual                         [pnmenlarge(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/pnmenlarge/1/markdown)



## NAME
       pnmenlarge - read a portable anymap and enlarge it N times

## SYNOPSIS
       **pnmenlarge** _N_ [_pnmfile_]

## DESCRIPTION
       Reads  a  portable  anymap  as input.  Replicates its pixels _N_ times, and produces a portable
       anymap as output.

       _pnmenlarge_ can only enlarge by integer factors.  The slower but more general _pnmscale_ can en‐
       large  or  reduce by arbitrary factors, and _pbmreduce_ can reduce by integer factors, but only
       for bitmaps.

       If you enlarge by a factor of 3 or more, you should probably add a _pnmsmooth_ step; otherwise,
       you can see the original pixels in the resulting image.
