DESCRIPTION

18       This program is part of Netpbm(1).
19
20       pamoil  reads  a  Netpbm image as input and does an "oil transfer", and
21       writes the same type of Netpbm image as output.
22
23       The oil transfer is described  in  "Beyond  Photography"  by  Holzmann,
24       chapter 4, photo 7.  It's a sort of localized smearing.
25
26       The  smearing  works  like  this: First, assume a grayscale image.  For
27       each pixel in the image, pamoil looks at a square  neighborhood  around
28       it.   pamoil  determines what is the most common pixel intensity in the
29       neighborhood, and puts a pixel of that intensity into the output in the
30       same position as the input pixel.
31
32       For color images, or any arbitrary multi-channel image, pamoil computes
33       each channel (e.g. red, green, and blue) separately the same way as the
34       grayscale case above.
35
36       At the edges of the image, where the regular neighborhood would run off
37       the edge of the image, pamoil uses a clipped neighborhood.

OPTIONS

41       -n size
42              This is the size of the neighborhood used in the smearing.   The
43              neighborhood is this many pixels in all four directions.
44
45              The default is 3.
