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.
