NAME

       metapixel - generator for photomosaics

SYNOPSIS

       metapixel-prepare [options] [srcdir] [destdir]

			 prepares the pictures in srcdir by creating resized images and a table file in destdir

       metapixel [options] [--metapixel input.jpg output.png --library destdir]

		 creates a photomosaic output.png using input.jpg as the input image and destdir/tables.mxt as table file

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the metapixel and metapixel-prepare commands. For more information check the README file included in the
       distribution.

       metapixel is a program for generating photomosaics. It can generate classical photomosaics, in which the source image is viewed as a matrix
       of  equally  sized rectangles for each of which a matching image is substitued, as well as collage-style photomosaics, in which rectangular
       parts of the source image at arbitrary positions (i.e. not aligned to a matrix) are substituted by matching images.

       metapixel-prepare is a utility that needs to be run before metapixel can be used. It prepares your source images so that they can  be  used
       by metapixel to create the actual photomosaic.

USAGE

       metapixel-prepare  srcdir  destdir  has	to  be	run  first.  srcdir is the path to the directory containing the source images, e.g. ~/Pic-
       tures/Holidays. destdir, e.g. ~/.metapixel, is the path to the directory where you want to store the rescaled images and the tables.mxt in-
       dex file. This directory should be created manually before running metapixel-prepare.

       metapixel  --metapixel input.jpg output.png --library destdir is then used to transform an image (input.jpg) into a mosaic (output.png) us-
       ing the source images (described by destdir/tables.mxt).

OPTIONS

       The options are described in the README file or by running metapixel or metapixel-prepare with the --help option.

SEE ALSO

       The README file is included in the Metapixel distribution.

NAME

       image - Translate LaTeX documents to GIF images.

SYNOPSIS

       imagen <base>

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly  the imagen command.  This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the
       original program does not have a manual page.

       imagen is a simple shell script that translates a LaTeX document into many images. Please consult the hevea manual for explanation  how	to
       use imagen in conjunction with hevea.

       The  Debian  version  of  HeVeA	differs  from  the original HeVeA distribution in that pictures are by default generated in the png format
       instead of gif. To regain the original behavior you have to modify your LaTeX input (see hevea (1)) and invoke imagen with the -gif option.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options are included below.

       -png   Produce images in the png format. On a Debian system this is the default.

       -gif   Produce images in gif format instead of png.

       -pnm   Produce images in pnm format.

       -mag nnnn,
	      Change the enlarging ratio that is applied while translating DVI into Postscript. More precisely, dvips is run with  -xnnnn  option.
	      Default value for this ration is 1414, this means that, by default, imagen magnifies LaTeX output by a factor of 1.414.

       -t arg Pass option -t arg to dvips. For instance, using -t a3 may help when images are truncated on the right.

       -pdf   Have imagen call pdflatex instead of latex

       -extra command,
	      Insert  command  as an additional stage in imagen ppm to png/gif production chain. command is a Unix filter that expects a ppm image
	      in its standard input and outputs a ppm image on its standard output. A sensible choice for command is one command from  the  netpbm
	      package or several such commands piped together.

       -quant number
	      Add  an extra color quantization step in imagen ppm image production chain, where number is the maximal number of colors in the pro-
	      duced images. This option may be needed in response of a failure in the image production chain. It can also help in  limiting  image
	      files size.

       The HeVeA documentation can be found  on the HeVeA home page
	http://hevea.inria.fr.	 On a Debian system it can also be accessed at /usr/share/doc/hevea-doc/html, provided the package hevea-doc (from
       the non-free section) is installed.
