imscale (tool command)
Acts as an image scaling utility
Syntax
imscale -i input.rgb -o output.rgb -x xscale -y yscale
Description
imscale is an image scaling utility that reads in an rgb format image and scales it by arbitrary X and Y floating point scaling values to stretch or shrink the image to a desired size. This utility is useful for constructing properly filtered textures used in MIP mapping.
Command Line Options
- -i input.rgb input.rgb
- Specifies the name of the input image file that is to be manipulated.
- -o output.rgb
- Specifies the name of the resulting output image file.
- -x xscale
- Specifies the floating point scaling factor to be applied to the image's X dimension. A value of 1.0 will leave the image unchanged in the X dimension.
- -y yscale
- Specifies the floating point scaling factor to be applied to the image's Y dimension. A value of 1.0 will leave the image unchanged in the Y dimension.
Note
The filter kernel used is a windowed Lanczos kernel, which gives a reasonable approximation to the ideal sinc kernel.
