Hello.
My next experiment in learning libraries, as well as my next project,
is a reimplementation of the first and second edition raster graphics
manipulation tools. These use libmemdraw, which provides Memimage.
Since I only have a working first edition manual, the program I will
present shortly conforms to the first edition.
NAME
transpose - re-orient an image
SYNOPSIS
transpose [-vhadrlui] [-o 'x y'] [imgfile]
DESCRIPTION
transpose produces an image from another image by applying a
transformation
that satisfies the property of involution. The options are:
-d Reflect image through descending axis (y=-x), the
default
-a Reflect image through ascending axis (y=x)
-v Reflect image left-to-right through vertical center
line (x=0)
-h Reflect image top-to-bottom through horizontal center
line (y=0)
-r Rotates image right 90 degrees (clockwise)
-l Rotates image left 90 degrees (counterclockwise)
-u Rotates image upside down (180 degrees)
-i Identity (for completeness)
If the -o option is given, the new image has the upper-left
coordinates given as an
argument. Otherwise, the original upper-left coordinates are used.
EXAMPLES
Mirror image.
transpose -v img > img2
Set the origin of an image to (0,0) without changing any pixels.
transpose -i -o '0 0' img > img2
Involution exposition.
transpose img | transpose > img2
BUGS
The first edition specified the arguments to -o as two values - this
cannot be done
due to idiosyncrasies with args(2).
What should I do to supply something like -o outfile?
O(N^2) algorithms, even with -i - using -o makes the running time
O(2(N^2)).
You can find it in /n/sources/contrib/pietro/transpose.c.
