NAME

iscale - scale an image

SYNTAX

iscale xfactor yfactor image

ARGUMENTS

xfactor Specifies the x scaling factor by which the width of the image is multiplied.  This scaling factor must be greater than 0 (either a fixed or floating point number). 

yfactor Specifies the y scaling factor by which the length of the image is multiplied.  This scaling factor must be greater than 0 (either a fixed or floating point number). 

image Specifies the name of the file, previously created by the savimg command, which is used as input. 

DESCRIPTION

The iscale command enlarges or reduces the named image by multiplying its dimensions by the specified x and y scaling factors and producing a new image. 

RESTRICTIONS

Unless otherwise redirected to a file or piped to another image process, all output is displayed as raw data at your terminal. 

When xfactor or yfactor is less than one, some color pixels may be lost. 

EXAMPLES

iscale 2 3 image1 >image2

This command, using input from image1, multiplies the width of image1 by 2, the length by 3, and produces image2. 

iscale 2.7 0.3 image3 >image4

This command, using input from image3, multiplies the width by 2.7, the length by 0.3, and produces image4.  (The y scaling factor compresses the new image vertically.) 

FILES

/usr/include/imghdr.h Defines the image file format.
