USAGE: mosaictiles [-h or -help]

-t ... tsize ...... size of tiles; integer>0; default=30
-w ... width ...... width of grout; integer>0; default=3
-b ... bright ..... brightness of grout; 0<=integer<=100; default=0
-c ... color ...... grout color; any valid opaque IM color is allowed

PURPOSE: To apply a mosaic tiles effect to image.

DESCRIPTION: MOSAICTILES applies a mosaic tiles effect to image. The user may control the tile size, grout thickness, grout brightness and grout ripples. This script is similar to the Photoshop Mosiac Tiles filter.

ARGUMENTS:

-t tsize ... TSIZE is the size of the tiles in the x and y direction. Values are integers greater than 0. The default=30.

-w width ... WIDTh of the grout. Values are integers greater than 0. The default=3.

-b bright ... BRIGHT is the brightness of the grout. Values are between 0 and 100. The default=0.

-c color ... COLOR is the grout color. Any valid opaque IM color is allowed.

-A ... ANTIALIAS grout.

-r ripples ... RIPPLES are the extent of the ripples (wiggles) in the grout. Values are integers greater than or equal to 0. The default=15.

-g granular ... GRANULAR is the granularity of the noise image used to make the rippled grout. Smaller values gives small curls, while larger values are broader curves. Values are integers greater than or equal to 0. The default=5.

-n newseed ... NEWSEED is the seed value for the random noise image. Values are integers greater than or equal to 0. The default is random seed values.

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.

What the script does is as follows:

Creates a straight line grid pattern with the desired spacing and line width
Uses a blurred random noise image with a displacement operation to apply wiggles to the grid
Uses compose multiply to composite the grid over the image

This is equivalent to the following IM commands

ww=`convert $infile -format "%w" info:`
hh=`convert $infile -format "%h" info:`
ww2=$((ww+tsize))
hh2=$((hh+tsize))
tsize=$((tsize+width))
convert $ -size ${tsize}x${tsize} xc:black \
-size ${width}x${tsize} xc:white +append \
-size ${tsize}x${width} xc:white -append $ \
-write mpr:tile +delete -size ${ww2}x${hh2} tile:mpr:tile $tmpA2
convert -size ${ww2}x${hh2} xc: -seed $newseed +noise random \
-set colorspace RGB -colorspace gray \
-blur 0x${granular} -contrast-stretch 0 $tmpA3
convert $tmpA2 $tmpA3 $setcspace -virtual-pixel black \
-define compose:args=${ripple}x${ripple} -compose displace -composite \
-gravity center -crop ${ww}x${hh}+0+0 +repage -threshold 1% $tmpA2
