- This file describes how the MGIF logo was created.
-
- When you're required to save an image below, you can use any format that
- will keep all information. The easiest way is probably to use the 'Copy'
- for saving and then loading with 'Paste', but you can just as well use
- the normal load/save facilities with for example GIF format.

-
- 1) Set up convolution matrix:
-
- Direction: NW
- Matrix: Sobel + 1
-
- 2 1 0
- 1 1 -1
- 0 -1 -2
-
- Divisor: 2
- Bias: 64
-
- 2) Load mgif.img, perform convolution and save destination buffer.
-
- 3) Halve the size of mgif.img (still in source buffer),
- change source buffer to be the same as the destination,
- perform convolution, double size back to normal, blur and finally
- save (source and destination are the same).
- Now you got wider Sobel effect on the image.
-
- 4) Load and combine the two images saved in step 2 and 3, 1/2 + 1/2
- and save the result.
- You got sharpness from step 2 and wider effect from step 3.
-
- 5) Load mgif.img again and invert it. Load lines.img and combine (1 + 1).
- Widen the holes in the combined image using Lmax 3.
- Apply the convolution to the result and save.
-
- 7) Combine the images from step 4 (2/3) and step 5 (1/3) and you've got a
- rather good looking logo.
-
- 8) The image from step 7 looks rather good in greyscales, but for monochrome
- it can get still better.
- Apply histogram equalization and save as IMG with F-S dithering.
- Some Laplace filtering during save won't hurt.
