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 sub-
       stitued,	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 directo-
       ry where	you want to store the rescaled images and the tables.mxt index
       file. This directory should be created manually before running metapix-
       el-prepare.

       metapixel --metapixel input.jpg output.png --library  destdir  is  then
       used to transform an image (input.jpg) into a mosaic (output.png) using
       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.
