💖 stream-im7.q16hdri — bestie's guide to streaming pixels ✨

okay so this is the manual page for stream-im7.q16hdri(1), and I'm gonna be so real with you: this little tool is a whole vibe. it's lightweight, it's fast, and it streams pixel components straight to whatever storage format you want. no cap. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

stream — a lightweight tool that streams one or more pixel components of an image (or just a lil portion of an image, your call bestie) into whatever storage format you want. iconic behaviour honestly 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

magick-im7.q16hdri stream [options] input-file output-file

that's it. that's the whole shape of it. options go in the middle, then you feed it an input-file and it writes an output-file. easy peasy 🍓

🦋 OVERVIEW 🦋

Stream is a lightweight tool to stream one or more pixel components of the image or portion of the image to your choice of storage formats. It writes the pixel components as they are read from the input image a row at a time, making stream-im7.q16hdri desirable when you're working with large images or when you require raw pixel components. it's giving "I don't need the whole image in memory, I just need the pixels as they come" energy and honestly? obsessed. 🔥

pro tip bestie: it goes row by row. one row at a time. that's the whole magic. that's why it doesn't choke on giant files.

• -colorspace type — swap to an alternate image colorspace
• -compress type — the type of pixel compression to use when writing the image
• -define format:option — define one or more image format options
• -density geometry — the horizontal and vertical density of the image
• -depth value — the image depth
• -extract geometry — extract an area from the image
• -identify — identify the format and characteristics of the image (a lil vibe check for your file ✨)
• -interlace type — the type of image interlacing scheme
• -interpolate method — the pixel color interpolation method
• -limit type value — set a pixel cache resource limit
• -map components — one or more pixel components
• -monitor — monitor progress (so you can watch it cook 👀)
• -quantize colorspace — reduce colors in this colorspace
• -quiet — suppress all warning messages
• -regard-warnings — actually pay attention to warning messages
• -respect-parentheses — settings remain in effect until a parenthesis boundary
• -sampling-factor geometry — the horizontal and vertical sampling factor
• -seed value — seed a new sequence of pseudo-random numbers
• -set attribute value — set an image attribute
• -size geometry — the width and height of the image
• -storage-type type — the pixel storage type
• -synchronize — synchronize the image to the storage device
• -taint — declare the image as modified
• -transparent-color color — the transparent color
• -verbose — print detailed information about the image
• -virtual-pixel method — the virtual pixel access method

💫 Miscellaneous Options 💫

the grab-bag section, the little extras, the garnish on the plate 🎀:

• -channel mask — set the image channel mask
• -debug events — display copious debugging information (like, a lot. copious. 😭)
• -help — print program options
• -log format — the format of debugging information
• -list type — print a list of supported option arguments
• -version — print version information

🧚 File format tea 🧚

By default, the image format of file is determined by its magic number. To specify a particular image format, precede the filename with an image format name and a colon (i.e. ps:image) or specify the image type as the filename suffix (i.e. image.ps). Specify file as - for standard input or output. yes bestie, a single little dash means stdin/stdout, that's the move 💅
