-c color simple method screen colorization; default=black

PURPOSE: To apply screen-like effects to an image.

DESCRIPTION: SCREENEFFECTS applies screen-like effects to an image. The screen effects may be either simple or displacement. In the former, a screen pattern is mixed with the image and can be colored. In the latter, the screen pattern comes from various image displacement patterns. The screen pattern is generated from a sine wave pattern along x and another along y. Then they are optionally rotated 45 degrees.

ARGUMENTS:

-s spacing ... SPACING is the approximate pixel spacing of the screen pattern. Values are floats>0. The default=6

-r ... ROTATE screen by 45 degrees from x and y orientation. Nominally, one gets more appealing results with no rotation for type=simple and with rotation for type=displace.

-t type ... TYPE is screen type. Choices are simple (or s) and displace or (d). With type=simple, the screen pattern is mixed with the image and the screen can be colored. With type=displace, the screen texture comes from a displacement of the image. The default=simple.

-a amount ... AMOUNT is the pixel displacement amount for type=displace. Values are floats>0. The default=6

-m method ... METHOD is the displacement method. Choices are: 1, 2 or 3. Two displacement maps are created from sine waves along the x and along the y direction. Each may then be rotated 45 degrees. With method=1, the x and y displacement maps are merged and the merged map is used for the both the x and y displacements. With method=2, the x and y displacement maps are not merged and are used for the x and y displacements, respectively. With method=3, the displacement maps are swapped and then used for the x and y displacements, respectively. The default=1.

-c color ... COLOR is the screen color when type=simple. Any valid IM color specification is allowed. The default=black. See http://imagemagick.org/script/color.php

What the script does is as follows:

  • Creates a sinusoidal image along x
  • Creates a sinusoidal image along y
  • Merges the sinusoidal images if desired
  • Rotates the sinusoidal image(s) if desired by 45 degrees
  • Uses the sinusodial image(s) to composite with the input
    or as a displacement map wth the input

This is equivalent to the following IM commands

  • ww=`convert $infile -ping -format "%w" info:`
  • hh=`convert $infile -ping -format "%h" info:`
  • maxdim=`convert xc: -format "%[fx:sqrt(2)*max($ww,$hh)]" info:`
  • xf=`convert xc: -format "%[fx:$ww/$spacing]" info:`
  • yf=`convert xc: -format "%[fx:$hh/$spacing]" info:`
  • avef=`convert xc: -format "%[fx:0.5*($xf+$yf)]" info:`
  • xf=$avef
  • yf=$avef
  • if [ "$rotation" = "no" ]; then
    convert -size ${hh}x${ww} gradient: -rotate 90 \
    -function sinusoid "$xf,0,.5,.5" $tmp1
    convert -size ${ww}x${hh} gradient: -rotate 180 \
    -function sinusoid "$yf,0,.5,.5" $tmp2
    elif [ "$rotation" = "yes" ]; then
    convert -size ${maxdim}x${maxdim} gradient: \

    fi
  • if [ "$type" = "simple" ]; then
    convert $tmp1 $tmp2 -average -contrast-stretch 0 $tmp1
