You may use double +hyphens instead of single hyphen to denote options. + +.UN description +.SH DESCRIPTION +.PP +This program is part +of +.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c +\&. +.PP +The \fBpamrubber\fP utility converts a pam image into a new image with the +contents moved around. The transformation is often called "rubber +sheeting": you identify control points (CP) on the source image and +specify new positions for those points in the new image. \fBpamrubber\fP +moves all the pixels around, stretching and compressing as necessary, as +if the original image were on a sheet of rubber and you pulled on the sheet +to make the control points move to their new locations. +.PP +The new image has the same dimensions and format as the original. +.PP +The transformation can happen in two very different ways, called +"quad" and "tri." With the former, you must specify four +control points (for both source and target). These are the corners of two +quadrilaterals that will act as the coordinate system for both source and +target images. Consider them as non-orthogonal (0,0), (0,1), (1,0) and (1,1) +points. This transformation comes close to the one \fBpamperspective\fP +does, however that program does other corrections as well. +.PP +When you specify less than four control points, the program adds control +points in the following way. With three control points, \fBpamrubber\fP +chooses the fourth one such that the four points form a parallelogram. With +two points, \fBpamrubber\fP considers them the opposite corners of a +rectangle. When you specify only one control point, \fBpamrubber\fP uses a +rectangle from the top left corner of the image to the single control +point. +.PP +In "tri" mode, \fBpamrubber\fP conceptually cuts up the source +and target image into triangles. It Transforms within each corresponding pair +of triangles in a stretching fashion. It's like pulling on the three corners +of the triangle. In this mode, each pixel in the source image gets mapped to +a position in the target image. No pixels are lost. +.PP +When, in "tri" mode, you specify only a single control point in +the source and target image, \fBpamrubber\fP creates four triangles from this +point to the four corners of the image. With two points, the program creates +six triangles from the two endpoints of the line connecting the two points, +again to the four corners of the image. Three control points is in a way the +core of this utility in "tri" mode. Between the three edges of the +central triangle and the four edges of the image, \fBpamrubber\fP constructs +another seven triangles. Four control points define two central connected +triangles. In total this results in cutting the source and target image up +into ten triangles. +.PP +In this case clearly a picture says more than a thousand words. There is a +graphical illustration of these various modes at +.UR http://www.schaik.com/netpbm/rubber + www.schaik.com/netpbm/rubber +.UE +\&. An example of how to use this type of +rubber sheeting in cartography is in the article +.UR http://www.isprs.org/proceedings/XXXVI/5-W1/papers/21.pdf + Visualizing the Landscape of Old-Time Tokyo +.UE +\&. + + +.UN parameters +.SH PARAMETERS +.PP +The parameters are control points (\fIcp\fP) in pairs of \fIx\fP +and \fIy\fP. The source and target image must have the same number of +control points. The minimum number of values specified here is 4 for a single +control point in the source and target image. The maximum is 16 for four +control points in each image. + +.PP +\fIfilename\fP is the name of the input file. If you don't specify +this, \fBpamrubber\fP reads the image from Standard Input. + + +.UN options +.SH OPTIONS + + +.TP +\fB-tri\fP | \fB-quad\fP +.sp +This selects the type of rubber sheeting done. +You must specify exactly one of these options. + + +.TP +\fB-linear\fP +.sp +This determines whether \fBpamrubber\fP uses nearest neighbor +interpolation or bilinear interpolation of four source pixels. + + + +.TP +\fB-frame\fP +.sp +This option causes \fBpamrubber\fP to overlay the target image with the +edges of the quadrilaterals, respectively the triangles used for the rubber +sheeting. To get the same overlay for the source image, use a \fBpamrubber\fP +transformation with identical control points for source and target. + + +.TP +\fB-randomseed=\fP\fIN\fP +.sp +\fBpamrubber\fP randomizes some of its output. So that you can produce +repeatable results, you can choose the seed of the random number generator +with this option. If you use the same input image and the same random number +generator seed, you should always get the exact same output. By default, +\fBpamrubber\fP uses the time of day as the seed, so you get slightly +different output when you run the program twice on the same input. +.sp +Before Netpbm 10.61 (December 2012), this was called \fB-randseed\fP, +and that still works. + + + + + + +.UN seealso +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR "pam" (1)\c +\& and +.BR "pamperspective" (1)\c +\& + + +.UN history +.SH HISTORY +.PP +\fBpamrubber\fP was new in Netpbm 10.54 (March 2011). + + +.UN authors +.SH AUTHORS +.PP +\fIWillem van Schaik\fP wrote this program +in February 2011 and contributed it to Netpbm. +.SH DOCUMENT SOURCE +This manual page was generated by the Netpbm tool 'makeman' from HTML +source.
