It shifts every row of image +data to the left or right by a random amount, within a range of \fIshift\fP +pixels. The random distribution is uniform, centered at zero movement. +.PP +The randomness in the image is limited before Netpbm 10.37 (December +2006) -- if you run the program twice in the same second, you may get +identical output. +.PP +This is an effect the author intended to use for MPEG tests. +Unfortunately, this program is not useful for that - it creates too random +patterns to be used for animations. Still, it might give interesting results +on still images. + +.UN options +.SH OPTIONS +.PP +There are no command line options defined specifically +for \fBppmshift\fP, but it recognizes the options common to all +programs based on libnetpbm (See +.UR index.html#commonoptions + Common Options +.UE +\&.) + +.UN example +.SH EXAMPLE +.PP +Check this out: Save your favorite model's picture from something like +alt.binaries.pictures.supermodels (ok, or from any other picture source), +convert it to ppm, and process it e.g. like this, assuming the picture is +800x600 pixels: + +.nf + #take the upper half, and leave it like it is + pamcut -top=0 -width=800 -height=300 cs.ppm >upper.ppm + + #take the lower half, flip it upside down, dim it and distort it a little + pamcut -top=300 -width=800 -height=300 cs.ppm | \e + pamflip -topbottom | \e + ppmdim 0.7 | \e + ppmshift 10 >lower.ppm + + #and concatenate the two pieces + pamcat -topbottom upper.ppm lower.ppm >newpic.ppm + + +.fi +.PP +The resulting picture looks like the image being reflected on a water +surface with slight ripples. + +.UN seealso +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR "ppm" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pamcut" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pamflip" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "ppmdim" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pamcat" (1)\c +\& + + +.UN author +.SH AUTHOR + +Copyright (C) 1993 by Frank Neumann +.SH DOCUMENT SOURCE +This manual page was generated by the Netpbm tool 'makeman' from HTML +source.
