💖 NVZOOM 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about nvzoom from the General Commands Manual — yes she's a section 1 girly, she lives in your terminal, she's iconic 💅

✨ NAME ✨

nvzoom — scales the given image. that's it. that's the whole job. she takes a picture and she makes it bigger or smaller and she does it well 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

nvzoom [OPTION] INFILE [OUTFILE]

so you hand her an INFILE, you can throw some OPTIONs at her, and if you want you can also name an OUTFILE — but like, no pressure, she's chill 🫶

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

nvzoom is part of the NVIDIA texture toolset, which is giving very much "professional, serious, industry-grade" energy ✨ The tool scales the image file, with support for scaling and some filters. that's the vibe. scale + filters = her whole personality 💜

🔥 INPUT OPTIONS 🔥

okay this is the part you actually came for, no cap. every single flag, right here, nothing skipped:

  • -color — yes she's just a flag with no value, she doesn't need one, she's confident like that 💅
  • -s value — the scale factor, aka "how much are we stretching this thing". default is 0.5, so if you don't say anything she's gonna halve it, periodt.
  • -g value — gamma correction. default is 2.2, which is literally the classic gamma number, iykyk.
  • -f filter — pick your filter, bestie. default is box. your options are:
    • box
    • triangle
    • quadratic
    • bspline
    • mitchell
    • lanczos
    • kaiser

like, seven whole filters. she ate that 🌈

  • -w mode — the wrap mode, aka "what happens at the edges". default is mirror. your options are:
    • mirror
    • repeat
    • clamp

pick your fighter 🧚
