NAME
ppmshift - shift lines of a PPM image left or right by a random amount
SYNOPSIS
ppmshift shift [ppmfile]
DESCRIPTION
This program is part of Netpbm(1).
ppmshift reads a PPM image as input. It shifts every row of image data
to the left or right by a random amount, within a range of shift pix‐
els. The random distribution is uniform, centered at zero movement.
The randomness in the image is limited before Netpbm 10.37 (December
2006) -- if you run the program twice in the same second, you may get
identical output.
This is an effect the author intended to use for MPEG tests. Unfortu‐
nately, this program is not useful for that - it creates too random
patterns to be used for animations. Still, it might give interesting
results on still images.
OPTIONS
There are no command line options defined specifically for ppmshift,
but it recognizes the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
(See
Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ .)
EXAMPLE
Check this out: Save your favorite model's picture from something like
alt.binaries.pictures.supermodels (ok, or from any other picture
source), convert it to ppm, and process it e.g. like this, assuming the
picture is 800x600 pixels:
#take the upper half, and leave it like it is
pamcut -top=0 -width=800 -height=300 cs.ppm >upper.ppm
#take the lower half, flip it upside down, dim it and distort it a little
pamcut -top=300 -width=800 -height=300 cs.ppm | \
pamflip -topbottom | \
ppmdim 0.7 | \
ppmshift 10 >lower.ppm
#and concatenate the two pieces
pnmcat -topbottom upper.ppm lower.ppm >newpic.ppm
The resulting picture looks like the image being reflected on a water
surface with slight ripples.
