✨ EXRMAKETILED ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the exrmaketiled manual page — it lives in section 1 of the manual, so that's the vibe 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

exrmaketiled [options] infile outfile

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this manual page is just a lil quick-and-dirty rundown of the exrmaketiled command, okay? and the tea is: it was written for the Debian distribution specifically because the original program literally does not have a manual page of its own 😭 like, we had to DIY it.

anyway what it does: exrmaketiled reads an OpenEXR image from infile, makes a tiled version of that image, and then saves the whole glow-up into outfile. iconic behaviour honestly 💖

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -o — produces a ONE_LEVEL image. and yes this is the default, so if you do nothing, this is what you get ✨
  • -m — produces a MIPMAP_LEVELS multiresolution image 🧚
  • -r — produces a RIPMAP_LEVELS multiresolution image 🦋
  • -f c — when you're producing a MIPMAP_LEVELS or RIPMAP_LEVELS image, channel c gets resampled without low-pass filtering. and the way that you can just keep saying this flag over and over to turn off low-pass filtering for a whole bunch of channels at once?? obsessed. 💅
  • -t x y — sets the tile size in the output image to x by y pixels (the default is 64 by 64, no cap)
  • -d — sets level size rounding to ROUND_DOWN (this is the default, she's the moment)
  • -u — sets level size rounding to ROUND_UP
  • -z x — sets the data compression method to x. your options are none / rle / zip / piz / pxr24, and the default is zip 🫶
  • -v — verbose mode, she talks a lot, love that for her
  • -h — prints these options (hi, that's this list, you're welcome)

👑 AUTHOR 👑

this manual page was written by Andrew Lau <netsnipe@users.sourceforge.net>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system — but like, other people can absolutely use it too, it's not exclusive 💜

lowkey the most important thing here: the original program has no man page, so this is the only written lore we've got. cherish her 🥹

okay that's the whole page, we ate and left no crumbs ⭐ — this was EXRMAKETILED(1) from the General Commands Manual, dated March 31, 2004, and that's the sign-off bestie, mwah 💖
