NAME
mugs - convert gray-scale pictures into icons
SYNOPSIS
mugs picture ...
DESCRIPTION
Mugs is an interactive program for converting gray-scale images (usu‐
ally scanned-in photographs) into the 48×48 icons used by vismon(9.1)
and other programs. After digesting the first picture file, mugs will
display an approximation to the original picture, a vertical slider-bar
and a 48×48 icon. Hitting button 1 in the slider-bar and sliding ver‐
tically adjusts the low and high points of values of the 48×48 image.
Button 2 adjusts the low and high values simultaneously (i.e. it
changes the brightness without disturbing the contrast.) Button 3
presents a menu with entries:
window Select a square window in the original picture using button 3.
Touch down at the center of the square and slide around to ad‐
just its size.
save Type in the name of a file in which to save the currently dis‐
played 48×48 icon.
next Move on to the next picture mentioned on the command line.
exit Confirm with button 3.
