SMUSH(1)               DragonFly General Commands Manual              SMUSH(1)

NAME
       smush - defocus an RLE image.

SYNOPSIS
       smush [ -m maskfile ] [ -n ] [ -o outfile ] [ levels ] [ infile ]

DESCRIPTION
       Smush convolves an image with a 5x5 Gaussian mask, blurring the image.
       One may also provide a mask in a text file.  The file must contain an
       integer to specify the size of the square mask, followed by size*size
       floats.  The mask will be normalized (forced to sum to 1.0) unless the
       -n flag is given.

       The resulting image is the same size as the input image, no sub-
       sampling takes place.  The levels option, which defaults to one,
       signifies the number of times which the image will be blurred.  Each
       successive blurring is done with a more spread out mask, so a smush of
       level 2 is blurrier than piping two level one smush calls.  If no input
       file is specified, smush reads from stdin.  If no output file is
       specified with -o it writes the result to stdout.

BUGS
       Smush should probably automatically generate different sized gaussians
       and other common filters.
