      COINS is an image of several coins.  These are displayed
      against a uniform gray background, so the edges are easy to spot.
      
        - 
          coins.pgm,
          a binary PGM file containing a grayscale image of coins.
        
 
        - 
          coins.ascii.pgm,
          an ASCII PGM file containing a grayscale image of coins.
        
 
        - 
          coins.png,
          a PNG version of the image.

          coins_news1.png,
          image 1 produced by NEWS shows the input data.
        
 
        - 
          coins_news2.png,
          image 2 produced by NEWS shows the data after a
          1 pixel boundary has been added.

          coins_news3.png,
          image 3 shows the E data measuring the "edginess" of each pixel.
        
 
        - 
          coins_news4.png,
          image4 uses a threshold.  Values below the threshold are set to
          0 (black), and values above are set to the maximum (white).

          coins_news5.png,
          is the same as image 4, but in "reverse video".  It is easier
          to "read" the image with black lines and a white background.
        
 
        - 
          coins_news6.png,
          image 6 is actually an RGB color image.  It combines the original
          grayscale image of the coins with the edges marked in red.
