✨ Pampop9 User Manual ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the pampop9 glow-up 💖 this is a page from the Netpbm fam, and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 2am.

🌸 NAME 🌸

pampop9 — it simulates a multi-lens camera, like the Pop9, and honestly? iconic. 📸

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

pampop9 pnmfile|- xtiles ytiles xdelta ydelta

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So, real talk: this program is part of Netpbm(1). 🫶

What pampop9 does is tile your starting image xtiles by ytiles times. And not in a boring copy-paste way — each one of those tiles is pulled from a slightly different offset inside the source image, and those offsets are decided by the xdelta and ydelta arguments. it's giving kaleidoscope but make it vintage. 🦋

Now the deets, because the layout is a whole vibe:

  • the top line of tiles in the output comes from the top of the source image
  • the second line starts at the ydelta row of the source image
  • the next one at the 2*ydelta row
  • and so on, forever, like a pattern that just keeps going ✨

Same energy for columns:

  • the first column of tiles in the output comes from the left of the source image
  • the next column starts at the xdelta column
  • the one after that at the 2*xdelta column
  • and so on 🌀

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

okay so here's the thing — there are no command line options defined specifically for pampop9. like, none. it's a low-maintenance queen. 👑

  • but!! it does recognize the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (see Common Options)

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

picture this: you've got a 100 x 100 source image. you run pampop9 3 3 10 10 and boom 💥 — the output looks like a three-by-three grid, and each tile is 80 x 80 pixels.

if we call the origin the top-left corner, then here's the whole map:

  • the top row of tiles starts at (0, 0), (10, 0), (20, 0) within the source image
  • the middle row starts at (0, 10), (10, 10), (20, 10)
  • the bottom row starts at (0, 20), (10, 20), (20, 20)

fr fr, it's that simple. 🌟

🧚 HISTORY 🧚

pampop9 was new in Netpbm 10.15 — that's April 2003, for the record, so she's a millennial but we love her anyway. 🙈

it was adapted slightly from pampup9, which was distributed by Robert Tinsley. back at that time it was distributed via http://www.thepoacher.net/code/#pampup9. and then — plot twist 😭 — by October 2004, that URL no longer was valid. gone. reduced to atoms. the link is not okay. 💀
