NAME
       metapixel - generator for photomosaics

SYNOPSIS
       metapixel-prepare [options] [srcdir] [destdir]

			 prepares  the	pictures in srcdir by creating resized
			 images and a table file in destdir

       metapixel [options]
		 [--metapixel input.jpg output.png --library destdir]

		 creates a photomosaic output.png using input.jpg as the input
		 image and destdir/tables.mxt as table file

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the metapixel and  metapixel-prepare
       commands.  For  more  information check the README file included in the
       distribution.

       metapixel is a program for generating  photomosaics.  It	 can  generate
       classical photomosaics, in which the source image is viewed as a matrix
       of equally sized rectangles for each of which a matching image is  sub‐
       stitued,	 as  well  as collage-style photomosaics, in which rectangular
       parts of the source image at arbitrary positions (i.e. not aligned to a
       matrix) are substituted by matching images.

       metapixel-prepare  is  a	 utility that needs to be run before metapixel
       can be used. It prepares your source images so that they can be used by
       metapixel to create the actual photomosaic.

USAGE
       metapixel-prepare  srcdir  destdir  has	to be run first. srcdir is the
       path to	the  directory	containing  the	 source	 images,  e.g.	~/Pic‐
       tures/Holidays. destdir, e.g. ~/.metapixel, is the path to the directo‐
       ry where you want to store the rescaled images and the tables.mxt index
       file. This directory should be created manually before running metapix‐
       el-prepare.

       metapixel --metapixel input.jpg output.png --library  destdir  is  then
       used to transform an image (input.jpg) into a mosaic (output.png) using
       the source images (described by destdir/tables.mxt).

OPTIONS
       The options are described in the README file or by running metapixel or
       metapixel-prepare with the --help option.

SEE ALSO
       The README file is included in the Metapixel distribution.
