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.
