TLDR

Composite images

$ pnmcomp [overlay.pnm] [background.pnm] > [output.pnm]

With alpha mask

$ pnmcomp -alpha=[mask.pgm] [overlay.pnm] [background.pnm] > [output.pnm]

$ pnmcomp -xoff=[100] -yoff=[50] [overlay.pnm] [background.pnm] > [output.pnm]

SYNOPSIS

pnmcomp [options] overlay background

pnmcomp composites two PNM images by overlaying one on top of another with optional alpha transparency. An alpha mask (PGM file) controls the blending between overlay and background pixels.Position offsets (-xoff, -yoff) control where the overlay is placed on the background. Part of the Netpbm toolkit; superseded by pamcomp in newer versions.
