USAGE: melt [-l length] [-d direction] [-b blur] infile outfile
-l .... length ....... length of melt effect; integer>0 PURPOSE: To create a melting-like blur effect in an image. DESCRIPTION: MELT creates a melting-like blur effect in an image using an iterative offset and compare technique. The brighter of the comparison values will be used. ARGUMENTS: -l length ... LENGTH is the melt distance. Values are integers greater than 0. The default is 10. The length determines the number of iterations. -d direction ... DIRECTION is the melt direction. Values may be North, South, East, West (or abbreviations N,S,E,W). The default=South -b blur ... BLUR is an initial blurring of the image to make the pixels wider before applying the melting process. Values for blur are floats>=0. Typical values are a few pixels. The default=0. CAVEAT: No guarantee that this script will work on all platforms, nor that trapping of inconsistent parameters is complete and foolproof. Use At Your Own Risk. |
