All Programs of the PicArt Package

1. Input Images Formats
2. Output Image Format
3. Programs
4. Resources

As input following formats are supported:

• PNM (Raw): PPM (RGB), PGM (Grey), PBM (bitmap)
• GIF (no support of transparency)
• XPM (support of transperancy)
• JPEG (color and grey)

All programs write the resulting images (with few exceptions) direct to stdout.

PicArt: Programs 2. Output Image Format

PicArt uses PPM (P6) format. Following formats are created & handled by PicArt programs:

RGB 24bits
RGB 24bits	Alpha 8bit
RGB 24bits	Alpha 8bit	Z-buffer 32bits

The alpha channel (8bits per pixel) is appended behind the regular PPM file and doesn't affect XV or any PBMPLUS or NETPBM program. Note: PBMPLUS or NETPBM programs will dump the alpha-channel when passed to them. paalpha or alpha you can use to create an alpha-channel, patext or show creates a text-image with an alpha-channel by default.

The possible Z-Buffer, in case you use padraw3d standalone program or draw3d, is appened behind alpha-channel (if none existed an alpha-channel will created).

Consideration about file-size: a 640x400 picture RGB with Alpha requires 1MB diskspace, a 1280x1024 RGBA uses 5.2MB

papaste

% papaste <baseimage> <x> <y> [-mode <modes>] <pasteimage> <x> <y> are absolute coords by default ie (5 5) ie. 5- 10- -would be 5 pixels from right, 10 pixels from bottom center 10 -would be x-position centered or even .5x or .3x for relative positioning modes: copy (default), darken, lighten, multiply
