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

       mrename - program to rename files

SYNOPSIS

       mrename 'pattern' prefix [option]

DESCRIPTION

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

       mrename is a tool for easy and automatic renaming of many files.  The 'pattern' is the pattern to search files to rename (quoted  to  avoid
       that  bash  resolve  it),  and prefix is the prefix that will be added to the name of each file. The two alternative options for copying or
       moving files in the new name are explained below.  All parameters are needed, and you have to stay and launch the script in the same direc-
       tory of the files to be renamed. The program should be able to write in this directory.

OPTIONS

       There are only the following three options.

       -c     The option -c will copy each file with the new filename.

       -m     The option -m will move each file in the new filename.

       -h     Display help.

EXAMPLE

       If  you	have  a  directory  with two jpeg images prof.jpg and forp.jpg and you want to add them a prefix like item0, item1 etc..  (that is
       item0prof.jpg, item1forp.jpg etc..) do this:

	  cd /path/to/the/images
	  mrename '*.jpg' item -c

       to copy each matching file into another with the new name

	  mrename '*.jpg' item -m

       to rename each file without keeping a copy with the previous name
