SYNOPSIS

10       pammosaicknit [in_netpbmfile]
11
12

DESCRIPTION

14       This program is part of Netpbm(1).
15
16       pammosaicknit   helps   the   user   create  mosaic  knitting  patterns
17http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip-stitch_knitting#Mosaic_knitting⟩   .
18       The  program  inputs  a  black-and-white  Netpbm image that describes a
19       mosaic knitting pattern and outputs a color Netpbm image  of  the  same
20       pattern but with invalid runs shown in red.
21
22       A  valid  knitting  pattern starts with a "black" row on the bottom and
23       alternates "white" and "black" rows. A  "black"  row  can  contain  any
24       arrangement  of  black  pixels but no more than three consecutive white
25       pixels. A "white" row can contain any arrangement of white  pixels  but
26       no more than three consecutive black pixels. Columns wrap horizontally,
27       so a "white" row that both begins and ends with  two  black  pixels  is
28       deemed  to  contain  four  consecutive black pixels. Because this is an
29       invalid number for a "white" row, those four pixels will  be  recolored
30       red in the output image.
31
32       For clarity, there are two shades of red in the output image.  Dark red
33       pixels indicate pixels that were black in the  input  image  but  which
34       must contain one or more white pixels. Light red pixels indicate pixels
35       that were white in the input image but which must contain one  or  more
36       black pixels.
37
38       If the output image contains no red pixels, then the input image repre‐
39       sents a valid mosaic knitting pattern.

OPTIONS

43       There are no command line options defined specifically for  pammosaick‐
44       nit, but it recognizes the options common to all programs based on lib‐
45       netpbm (See
46        Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ .)

ARGUMENTS

50       pammosaicknit's only argument, in_netpbmfile, is the name of  an  image
51       file  that  represents  a mosaic knitting pattern. If you don't specify
52       in_netpbmfile, the program reads the image from Standard Input.

NOTES

57       If the input image is not a black-and-white image,  pammosaicknit  con‐
58       verts  it  internally  to  black and white by thresholding each pixel's
59       luminosity. The output image is always a color image containing at most
60       four colors (black, white, dark red, light red).
