METAPIXEL(1) METAPIXEL(1) NAME metapixel - generator for photomosaics SYNOPSIS metapixel-prepare [options] [srcdir] [destdir] prepares the pictures in srcdir by creating resized im- ages 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 im- age and destdir/tables.mxt as table file DESCRIPTION This manual page documents briefly the metapixel and metapixel-prepare com- mands. For more information check the README file included in the distribu- tion. metapixel is a program for generating photomosaics. It can generate classi- cal 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 sub- stituted 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. ~/Pictures/Holidays. dest- dir, e.g. ~/.metapixel, is the path to the directory where you want to store the rescaled images and the tables.mxt index 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) 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.
