NAME
pamoil - turn a PAM image into an oil painting
SYNOPSIS
pamoil
[-n N]
[pamfile]
DESCRIPTION
This program is part of Netpbm(1).
pamoil reads a Netpbm image as input and does an "oil transfer", and
writes the same type of Netpbm image as output.
The oil transfer is described in "Beyond Photography" by Holzmann,
chapter 4, photo 7. It's a sort of localized smearing.
The smearing works like this: First, assume a grayscale image. For
each pixel in the image, pamoil looks at a square neighborhood around
it. pamoil determines what is the most common pixel intensity in the
neighborhood, and puts a pixel of that intensity into the output in the
same position as the input pixel.
For color images, or any arbitrary multi-channel image, pamoil computes
each channel (e.g. red, green, and blue) separately the same way as the
grayscale case above.
At the edges of the image, where the regular neighborhood would run off
the edge of the image, pamoil uses a clipped neighborhood.
OPTIONS
In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
(most notably -quiet, see
Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), pamoil recognizes the
following command line option:
-n size
This is the size of the neighborhood used in the smearing. The
neighborhood is this many pixels in all four directions.
The default is 3.
