| 17 |  |  | .SH DESCRIPTION | 
| 18 |  |  | .I Normpat | 
| 19 |  |  | normalizes one or more RADIANCE pictures to an average brightness of 1.0 | 
| 20 |  |  | and optionally removes fundamental frequencies and blends the edges | 
| 21 |  |  | of the image. | 
| 22 |  |  | The original images are overwritten during this process, and it is | 
| 23 |  |  | recommended that the program work on copies of the pictures for this reason. | 
| 24 |  |  | .PP | 
| 25 |  |  | The | 
| 26 |  |  | .I \-r | 
| 27 |  |  | option can be used to set the maximum horizontal or vertical resolution | 
| 28 |  |  | of the final result, which should not be greater than 256 for most | 
| 29 |  |  | patterns (due to the associated memory burden during rendering). | 
| 30 |  |  | The | 
| 31 |  |  | .I \-f | 
| 32 |  |  | option uses a Fourier transform to remove the lowest frequencies | 
| 33 |  |  | from the image, reducing the noticeability of pattern repitition. | 
| 34 |  |  | The | 
| 35 |  |  | .I \-b | 
| 36 |  |  | option can be used to blend the edges of the image so that when | 
| 37 |  |  | it is tiled, the seams are less apparent. | 
| 38 |  |  | The | 
| 39 |  |  | .I \-v | 
| 40 |  |  | option turns on the verbose flag, which prints on the standard output | 
| 41 |  |  | progress messages as the script runs. | 
| 42 |  |  | .PP | 
| 43 |  |  | .I Normpat | 
| 44 |  |  | is a shell script that makes calls to other RADIANCE programs | 
| 45 |  |  | that do the actual work. |
