USAGE: mesmerize [-s shape] [-m mode] [-f factor] [-t thick] [-d delay] [-i incr] [-D direction] [-c colors] infile outfile
-s ... shape ....... shape of mesmerizing pattern; choices are: round or PURPOSE: To create a mesmerizing animation from an image. DESCRIPTION: MESMERIZE creates a mesmerizing animation from an image. The image may be binary, grayscale or color. The user may select the shape and colors for the pattern. ARGUMENTS: -s shape ... SHAPE of the mesmerizing pattern. The choices are: round (r) or diamond (d). The default=round. -m mode ... MODE of the mesmerizing pattern. The choices are: normal (n) or split (s). The default=split. -f factor ... FACTOR is the scale factor for the diamond shape pattern. Values are either 1 or 2. The default=2. Ignored for the round shape. -t thick ... THICK is the thickness of the pattern. Value are integers>0. The default=40. Thick must be an integer multiple of the incr to animate smoothly. -d delay ... DELAY for each frame of the animation. Values are integers>=0. The default=5. Provides fine adjustment of the animation speed. -i incr ... INCR is the increment or skip for the frames in the animation. Values are integers>0. The default=4. Provides coarse adjustment of the animation speed. -D direction .. DIRECTION of motion of the animation pattern. Choices are: out or in. The default=out. -c colors ... COLORS of the animation pattern. Values may be either "none" or a comma separated pair of opaque colors (names, rgb or hex values). The default="red,blue". For color images, use "none". NOTE: The effect on color images will produce an optical illusion whether you see the normal background image and moving stripes of its inverse or vice-versa. Look carefully and you can see either one. 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. |
