Pixelize Version 0.8.0
By Paul Wilkins
Pixelize is a program that will use many scaled down images to try to duplicate, as closely as possible, another image.
Pixelize works by splitting up the image you want rendered (or duplicated) into a grid of small rectangular areas. Each area is analyzed, and replaced with an image chosen from a large database of images. Pixelize tries to pick images that best matches each area.
To build Pixelize:
- Edit the Makefile to tell the compiler where to find the X and GTK headers and libraries if you do not have the gtk-config script properly installed. Most systems will not need this.
- Run make.
- Copy the executables, pixelize and make_db, to it's final installation directory, for example /usr/local/bin.
Note that in order to use Pixelize to render an immage, you will have to run make_db to create the database of images that Pixelize requires.
Pixelize can be found at the following locations: http://wilkins.ne.mediaone.net/pixelize.html ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/apps/graphics/misc
That's it. Good Luck.
