USAGE: pixelize [-s size] [-m mode] infile outfile
USAGE: pixelize [-h or -help]

-s .... size ..... pixelization size; size>0; default=3
-m .... mode ..... mode of minimizing; 1=resize; 2=sample; default=1

PURPOSE: To create a pixelized or blocky effect in an image.

DESCRIPTION: PIXELIZE creates a pixelized or blocky effect in an image where more pixelization (larger sizes) create larger blocky effects.

ARGUMENTS:

-s size ... SIZE is the pixelization (block) size. Values are greater than 0. The default is 3.

-m mode ... MODE is the mode of minimizing. Choices are 1 for -resize and 2 for -sample. The default=1

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:

  • Shrinks the image using -resize
  • Then exands it back using -scale

This is equivalent to the following IM commands.

  • w=`convert $infile -format "%[fx:w]" info:`
  • h=`convert $infile -format "%[fx:h]" info:`
  • minify=`convert xc: -format "%[fx:100/$size]" info:`
  • convert $infile -resize $minify% -scale ${w}x${h}! $outfile
