.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 |

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. |
