Read several pictures of the same subject, clear their backgrounds, line them up on one canvas and write them as the frames of one .pic.

mix linocut.join --out art/runner.pic --size 22x36 --colours 10 \
  pose1.png pose2.png pose3.png pose4.png

Each picture is cropped to what it holds, then every frame is stood on the same floor and lined up by the body above it, so a stride that reaches wide does not shift the figure sideways.

Options

  • --out — where to write the .pic, required
  • --key — the background colour to clear, as #rrggbb or corner for the top-left pixel's colour. Default corner
  • --tolerance — how far from --key a colour may be and still be cleared. Default 40
  • --size — WIDTHxHEIGHT to draw each frame at. Default the frames' own size
  • --colours — how many colours the shared palette may hold. Default 16
  • --alpha — the alpha at or above which a pixel counts as opaque. Default 128
  • --anchor — the fraction of a frame's height, from the top, whose middle the frames are lined up by. Default 0.35
  • --nearest — resample by taking one pixel rather than averaging
