.......................... integer; 0<=glow<=100; default=50
-c .... center ........... center point for the halo; center=cx,cy;
.......................... integer>=0; default is center of image
-k .... contrast ......... percent change in contrast for starburst pattern;
.......................... values are positive, zero or negative integers; default=0
-t .... tcolor ........... tint color for starburst; Any valid IM color is allowed;
.......................... The default=white
-f .... fcolor ........... foreground color for starburst; Any valid IM color is allowed;
.......................... The default=white
-b .... bcolor ........... background color for starburst if no input image is provided;
.......................... Any valid IM color is allowed; The default=black
-a .... angle ............ clockwise rotation angle for starburst pattern; integer;
.......................... 0<=angle<=360; default=0
-n .... newseed .......... seed value for random starburst pattern; integer>0;
.......................... default=different pattern each time
-s .... size ............. size of output (WidthxHeight) if no input image provided

PURPOSE: To apply a starburst pattern to an image.

DESCRIPTION: STARBURST applies a radial starburst pattern to an image a given center, radius and glow amount. The user can also control the coloring, contrast and rotation of the starburst pattern. If no input image is provided the script will create an image of the desired size.

ARGUMENTS:

-r radius ... RADIUS is the maximum radius of the starburst pattern. Values are integers>0. The default is one third of the minimum dimension of the image.

-g glow ... GLOW is the radious of inner glow area of the starburst as a percentage of the radius parameter. Values are integers in the range 0<=glow<=100. The default=50.

-c center ... CENTER=cx,cy are the comma separated coordinates in the image determining the center of the halo. Values are integers>=0. The default is the center of the input image or size specified for the output image.

-k contrast ... CONTRAST is the percent contrast change for the starburst pattern. Values are positive or negative integers. The default=0.

-t tcolor ... TCOLOR is the tint color for the starburst. The default=white. Any valid IM color is allowed. See http://imagemagick.org/script/color.php

-f fcolor ... FCOLOR is the foreground color for the starburst. The default=white. Any valid IM color is allowed. See http://imagemagick.org/script/color.php

-b bcolor ... BCOLOR is the background color for the starburst when no input image is provided. The default=black. Any valid IM color is allowed. See http://imagemagick.org/script/color.php

-a angle ... ANGLE is the clockwise rotation angle for the starburst pattern. Values are integers such that 0<=angle<=360. The default=0.

-n newseed ... NEWSEED is the seed value for the random starburst pattern. Values are integers>0. The default is a different pattern each time.

-s size ... SIZE is the WIDTHxHEIGHT of the desired output image if no input image is specified. Any value supplied will be ignored if an input image is specified.

NOTE: The concept and initial example were developed by Anthony Thyssen. See http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/advanced/#radial_flares. This script is an elaboration on Anthony's original example.

NOTE: Requires IM 6.4.2-8 or higher due to the use of -distort polar/depolar.

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 starburst pattern as follows:
    • create random values in a 1 row image
    • roll as needed for rotation angle and add foreground and/or background color
    • append remaining rows of background color and motion-blur vertically
    • create central glow taper mask, where taper has shape of cosine raised to 1.5 power
    • use -compose screen so that will only brighten and not darken
    • convert from polar back to rectangular coords
  • Apply starburst to background color or to input image

This is equivalent to the following IM commands.
