- NAME
- pnmshear - shear a portable anymap by some angle
-
- SYNOPSIS
- pnmshear [-noantialias] _✓a_✓n_✓g_✓l_✓e [_✓p_✓n_✓m_✓f_✓i_✓l_✓e]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Reads a portable anymap as input. Shears it by the speci-
- fied angle and produces a portable anymap as output. If the
- input file is in color, the output will be too, otherwise it
- will be grayscale. The angle is in degrees (floating
- point), and measures this:
- +-------+ +-------+
- | | |\ \
- | OLD | | \ NEW \
- | | |an\ \
- +-------+ |gle+-------+
- If the angle is negative, it shears the other way:
- +-------+ |-an+-------+
- | | |gl/ /
- | OLD | |e/ NEW /
- | | |/ /
- +-------+ +-------+
- The angle should not get too close to 90 or -90, or the
- resulting anymap will be unreasonably wide.
-
- The shearing is implemented by looping over the source pix-
- els and distributing fractions to each of the destination
- pixels. This has an "anti-aliasing" effect - it avoids
- jagged edges and similar artifacts. However, it also means
- that the original colors or gray levels in the image are
- modified. If you need to keep precisely the same set of
- colors, you can use the -noantialias flag. This does the
- shearing by moving pixels without changing their values. If
- you want anti-aliasing and don't care about the precise
- colors, but still need a limited *number* of colors, you can
- run the result through _✓p_✓p_✓m_✓q_✓u_✓a_✓n_✓t.
-
- All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique pre-
- fix.
