| |
| The gifburst program takes a named GIF file and breaks it into equal-sized |
| tiles. This is useful if a GIF is too large for your viewer, so you have |
| to look at it in sections.<P> |
| |
| <H1>Usage:</H1> |
| |
| <pre> |
| gifburst [-s n] [-p b] gif-file |
| </pre> |
| |
| <H1>Memory required:</H1> |
| |
| Proportional to the size of the largest pasted image. |
| |
| <H1>Options:</H1> |
| |
| <DT> [-s nnn] |
| <DD> Specify the number of pieces. Valid values are presently 4 (2x2) |
| and 6 (2x3). Default is 4. |
| |
| <DT> [-p nnn] |
| <DD> Specify the number of pixels of overlap between interior boundaries |
| of pieces. Default 20. |
| |
| <H1>Note:</H1> |
| |
| The gifburst program is written on Perl, using the C utilities. You must have |
| both the giflib utilities and Perl installed to run it.<P> |
