.B cmp_dct
is a program to create the difference image of the
frequency domain of two PGM (portable graymap) grayscale
images. To compare images in the spatial domain, either in
PPM (portable pixmap) format for RGB color images or in PGM (portable
graymap) format for grayscale images, use the
.B cmp_ppm
program or the
.B cmp_pgm
program, respectively.
.PP
If
.I file
or
.I ofile
is not specified, then standard input or standard output is
used.
