gmic: GREYC's Magic for Image Computing. Version 2.4.5, Copyright (c) 2008-2019, David Tschumperle. (https://gmic.eu) 1. Usage ----- gmic [command1 [arg1_1,arg1_2,..]] .. [commandN [argN_1,argN_2,..]] 'gmic' is the open-source interpreter of the G'MIC language, a script-based programming language dedicated to the design of possibly complex image processing pipelines and operators. It can be used to convert, manipulate, filter and visualize image datasets made of one or several 1D/2D or 3D multi-spectral images. This reference documentation describes all the technical rules governing the G'MIC language. As a starting point, you may want to visit our detailed tutorial pages, at: https://gmic.eu/tutorial/ 2. Overall context --------------- - At any time, G'MIC manages one list of numbered (and optionally named) pixel-based images, entirely stored in computer memory (uncompressed). - The first image of the list has indice '0' and is denoted by '[0]'. The second image of the list is denoted by '[1]', the third by '[2]' and so on. - Negative indices are treated in a periodic way: '[-1]' refers to the last image of the list, '[-2]' to the penultimate one, etc. Thus, if the list has 4 images, '[1]' and '[-3]' both designate the second image of the list. - A named image may be also indicated by '[name]', if 'name' uses the character set [a- zA-Z0-9_] and does not start with a number. Image names can be set or reassigned at any moment during the processing pipeline (see command 'name' for this purpose). - G'MIC defines a set of various commands and substitution mechanisms to allow the design of complex pipelines and operators managing this list of images, in a very flexible way: You can insert or remove images in the list, rearrange image order, process images (individually or grouped), merge image data together, display and output image files, etc. - Such a pipeline can be then added as a new custom G'MIC command (stored in a user command file), so it can be re-used afterwards in a larger pipeline if necessary. 3. Image definition and terminology -------------------------------- - In G'MIC, each image is modeled as a 1D, 2D, 3D or 4D array of scalar values, uniformly discretized on a rectangular/parallelepipedic domain. - The four dimensions of this array are respectively denoted by: . 'width', the number of image columns (size along the 'x'-axis). . 'height', the number of image rows (size along the 'y'-axis). . 'depth', the number of image slices (size along the 'z'-axis). (the depth is equal to 1 for usual color or grayscale 2D images). . 'spectrum', the number of image channels (size along the 'c'-axis). (the spectrum is respectively equal to 3 and 4 for usual RGB and RGBA color images). - There are no hard limitations on the size of the image along each dimension. For instance, the number of image slices or channels can be of arbitrary size within the limits of the available memory. - The width, height and depth of an image are considered as spatial dimensions, while the spectrum has a multi-spectral meaning. Thus, a 4D image in G'MIC should be most often regarded as a 3D dataset of multi-spectral voxels. Most of the G'MIC commands will stick with this idea (e.g. command 'blur' blurs images only along the spatial 'xyz'-axes). - G'MIC stores all the image data as buffers of 'float' values (32 bits, value range [-3.4E38,+3.4E38]). It performs all its image processing operations with floating point numbers. Each image pixel takes then 32bits/channel (except if double-precision buffers have been enabled during the compilation of the software, in which case 64bits/channel can be the default). - Considering 'float'-valued pixels ensure to keep the numerical precision when executing image processing pipelines. For image input/output operations, you may want to prescribe the image datatype to be different than 'float' (like 'bool', 'char', 'int', etc...). This is possible by specifying it as a file option when using I/O commands. (see section 'Input/output properties' to learn more about file options). 4. Items of a processing pipeline ------------------------------ - In G'MIC, an image processing pipeline is described as a sequence of items separated by the space character ' '. Such items are interpreted and executed from the left to the right. For instance, the expression: filename.jpg blur 3,0 sharpen 10 resize 200%,200% output file_out.jpg defines a valid pipeline composed of nine G'MIC items. - Each G'MIC item is a string that is either a command, a list of command arguments, a filename, or a special input string. - Escape characters '\' and double quotes '"' can be used to define items containing spaces or other special characters. For instance, the two strings 'single\ item' and '"single item"' both define the same single item, with a space in it. 5. Input data items ---------------- - If a specified G'MIC item appears to be an existing filename, the corresponding image data are loaded and inserted at the end of the image list (which is equivalent to the use of 'input filename'). - Special filenames '-' and '-.ext' stand for the standard input/output streams, optionally forced to be in a specific 'ext' file format (e.g. '-.jpg' or '-.png'). - The following special input strings may be used as G'MIC items to create and insert new images with prescribed values, at the end of the image list: . '[selection]' or '[selection]xN': Insert 1 or N copies of already existing images. 'selection' may represent one or several images (see section 'Command items and selections' to learn more about selections). . 'width[%],_height[%],_depth[%],_spectrum[%],_values': Insert a new image with specified size and values (adding '%' to a dimension means 'percentage of the size along the same axis, taken from the last image '[-1]''). Any specified dimension can be also written as '[image]', and is then set to the size (along the same axis) of the existing specified image [image]. 'values' can be either a sequence of numbers separated by commas ',', or a mathematical expression, as e.g. in input item '256,256,1,3,[x,y,128]' which creates a 256x256 RGB color image with a spatial shading on the red and green channels. (see section 'Mathematical expressions' to learn more about mathematical expressions). . '(v1,v2,..)': Insert a new image from specified prescribed values. Value separator inside parentheses can be ',' (column separator), ';' (row separator), '/' (slice separator) or '^' (channel separator). For instance, expression '(1,2,3;4,5,6;7,8,9)' creates a 3x3 matrix (scalar image), with values running from 1 to 9. . '0': Insert a new 'empty' image, containing no pixel data. Empty images are used only in rare occasions. - Input item 'name=value' declares a new variable 'name', or assign a new value to an existing variable. Variable names must use the character set [a-zA-Z0-9_] and cannot start with a number. - A variable definition is always local to the current command except when it starts by the underscore character '_'. In that case, it becomes also accessible by any command invoked outside the current command scope (global variable). - If a variable name starts with two underscores '__', the global variable is also shared among different threads and can be read/set by commands running in parallel (see command 'parallel' for this purpose). Otherwise, it remains local to the thread that defined it. - Numerical variables can be updated with the use of these special operators: '+=' (addition), '-=' (subtraction), '*=' (multiplication), '/=' (division), '%=' (modulo), '&=' (bitwise and), '|=' (bitwise or), '^=' (power), '<<=' and '>>=' (bitwise left and right shifts). For instance, 'foo=1 foo+=3'. - Input item 'name.=string' concatenates specified 'string' to the end of variable 'name'. - Multiple variable assignments and updates are allowed, with expressions: 'name1,name2,...,nameN=value' or 'name1,name2,...,nameN=value1,value2,...,valueN' where assignment operator '=' can be replaced by one of the allowed operators (e.g. '+='). 6. Command items and selections ---------------------------- - A G'MIC item that is not a filename nor a special input string designates a command, most of the time. Generally, commands perform image processing operations on one or several available images of the list. - Reccurent commands have two equivalent names (regular and short). For instance, command names 'resize' and 'r' refer to the same image resizing action. - A G'MIC command may have mandatory or optional arguments. Command arguments must be specified in the next item on the command line. Commas ',' are used to separate multiple arguments of a single command, when required. - The execution of a G'MIC command may be restricted only to a subset of the image list, by appending '[selection]' to the command name. Examples of valid syntaxes for 'selection' are: . 'command[-2]': Apply command only on the penultimate image [-2] of the list. . 'command[0,1,3]': Apply command only on images [0],[1] and [3]. . 'command[3-6]': Apply command only on images [3] to [6] (i.e, [3],[4],[5] and [6]). . 'command[50%-100%]': Apply command only on the second half of the image list. . 'command[0,-4--1]': Apply command only on the first image and the last four images. . 'command[0-9:3]': Apply command only on images [0] to [9], with a step of 3 (i.e. on images [0], [3], [6] and [9]). . 'command[0--1:2]': Apply command only on images of the list with even indices. . 'command[0,2-4,50%--1]': Apply command on images [0],[2],[3],[4] and on the second half of the image list. . 'command[^0,1]': Apply command on all images except the first two. . 'command[name1,name2]': Apply command on named images 'name1' and 'name2'. - Indices in selections are always sorted in increasing order, and duplicate indices are discarded. For instance, selections '[3-1,1-3]' and '[1,1,1,3,2]' are both equivalent to '[1-3]'. If you want to repeat a single command multiple times on an image, use a 'repeat..done' loop instead. Inverting the order of images for a command is achieved by explicitly inverting the order of the images in the list, with command 'reverse[selection]'. - Command selections '[-1]','[-2]' and '[-3]' are so often used that they have their own shortcuts, respectively '.', '..' and '...'. For instance, command 'blur..' is equivalent to 'blur[-2]'. These shortcuts work also when specifying command arguments. - G'MIC commands invoked without '[selection]' are applied on all images of the list, i.e. the default selection is '[0--1]' (except for command 'input' whose default selection is '[-1]'). - Prepending a single hyphen '-' to a G'MIC command is allowed. This may be useful to recognize command items more easily in a one-liner pipeline (typically invoked from a shell). - A G'MIC command prepended with a plus sign '+' or a double hyphen '--' does not act 'in-place' but inserts its result as one or several new images at the end of the image list. - There are two different types of commands that can be run by the G'MIC interpreter: . Builtin commands, are the hard-coded functionalities in the interpreter core. They are thus compiled as binary code and run fast, most of the time. Omitting an argument when invoking a builtin command is not permitted, except if all following arguments are also omitted. For instance, invoking 'plasma 10,,5' is invalid but 'plasma 10' is correct. . Custom commands, are defined as G'MIC pipelines of builtin or other custom commands. They are interpreted by the G'MIC interpreter, and thus run a bit slower than builtin commands. Omitting arguments when invoking a custom command is permitted. For instance, expressions 'flower ,,,100,,2' or 'flower ,' are correct. - Most of the existing commands in G'MIC are actually defined as custom commands. - A user can easily add its own custom commands to the G'MIC interpreter (see section 'Adding custom commands' for more details). New builtin commands cannot be added (unless you modify the G'MIC interpreter source code and recompile it). 7. Input/output properties ----------------------- - G'MIC is able to read/write most of the classical image file formats, including: . 2D grayscale/color files: .png, .jpeg, .gif, .pnm, .tif, .bmp, ... . 3D volumetric files: .dcm, .hdr, .nii, .pan, .inr, .pnk, ... . video files: .mpeg, .avi, .mov, .ogg, .flv, ... . Generic ascii or binary data files: .gmz, .cimg, .cimgz, .dlm, .asc, .pfm, .raw, .txt, .h. . 3D object files: .off. - When dealing with color images, G'MIC generally reads, writes and displays data using the usual sRGB color space. - G'MIC is able to manage 3D objects that may be read from files or generated by G'MIC commands. A 3D object is stored as a one-column scalar image containing the object data, in the following order: { magic_number; sizes; vertices; primitives; colors; opacities }. These 3D representations can be then processed as regular images. (see command 'split3d' for accessing each of these 3D object data separately). - Be aware that usual file formats may be sometimes not adapted to store all the available image data, since G'MIC uses float-valued image buffers. For instance, saving an image that was initially loaded as a 16bits/channel image, as a .jpg file will result in a loss of information. Use the G'MIC-specific file extension .gmz to ensure that all data precision is preserved when saving images. - Sometimes, file options may/must be set for file formats: . Video files: Only sub-frames of an image sequence may be loaded, using the input expression 'filename.ext,[first_frame[,last_frame[,step]]]'. Set 'last_frame==-1' to tell it must be the last frame of the video. Set 'step' to 0 to force an opened video file to be opened/closed. Output framerate and codec can be also set by using the output expression 'filename.avi,_fps,_codec,_keep_open={ 0 | 1 }'. 'codec' is a 4-char string (see http://www.fourcc.org/codecs.php) or '0' for the default codec. 'keep_open' tells if the output video file must be kept open for appending new frames afterwards. . .cimg[z] files: Only crops and sub-images of .cimg files can be loaded, using the input expressions 'filename.cimg,N0,N1', 'filename.cimg,N0,N1,x0,x1', 'filename.cimg,N0,N1,x0,y0,x1,y1', 'filename.cimg,N0,N1,x0,y0,z0,x1,y1,z1' or 'filename.cimg,N0,N1,x0,y0,z0,c0,x1,y1,z1,c1'. Specifying '-1' for one coordinates stands for the maximum possible value. Output expression 'filename.cimg[z][,datatype]' can be used to force the output pixel type. 'datatype' can be { auto | uchar | char | ushort | short | uint | int | uint64 | int64 | float | double }. . .raw binary files: Image dimensions and input pixel type may be specified when loading .raw files with input expression 'filename.raw[,datatype][,width][,height[,depth[,dim[,offset]]]]]'. If no dimensions are specified, the resulting image is a one-column vector with maximum possible height. Pixel type can also be specified with the output expression 'filename.raw[,datatype]'. 'datatype' can be the same as for .cimg[z] files. . .yuv files: Image dimensions must be specified when loading, and only sub-frames of an image sequence may be loaded, using the input expression 'filename.yuv,width,height[,chroma_subsampling[,first_frame[,last_frame[,step]]]'. 'chroma_subsampling' can be { 420 | 422 | 444 }. When saving, chroma subsampling mode can be specified with output expression 'filename.yuv[,chroma_subsampling]'. . .tiff files: Only sub-images of multi-pages tiff files can be loaded, using the input expression 'filename.tif,_first_frame,_last_frame,_step'. Output expression 'filename.tiff,_datatype,_compression,_force_multipage,_use_bigtiff' can be used to specify the output pixel type, as well as the compression method. 'datatype' can be the same as for .cimg[z] files. 'compression' can be { none (default) | lzw | jpeg }. 'force_multipage can be { 0=no (default) | 1=yes }. 'use_bigtiff can be { 0=no | 1=yes (default) }. . .gif files: Animated gif files can be saved, using the input expression 'filename.gif,fps>0,nb_loops'. Specify 'nb_loops=0' to get an infinite number of animation loops (this is the default behavior). . .jpeg files: The output quality may be specified (in %), using the output expression 'filename.jpg,30' (here, to get a 30% quality output). '100' is the default. . .mnc files: The output header can set from another file, using the output expression 'filename.mnc,header_template.mnc'. . .pan, .cpp, .hpp, .c and .h files: The output datatype can be selected with output expression 'filename[,datatype]'. 'datatype' can be the same as for .cimg[z] files. . .gmic files: These filenames are assumed to be G'MIC custom commands files. Loading such a file will add the commands it defines to the interpreter. Debug information can be enabled/disabled by the input expression 'filename.gmic[,add_debug_info={ 0 | 1 }]'. . Inserting 'ext:' on the beginning of a filename (e.g. 'jpg:filename') forces G'MIC to read/write the file as it would have been done if it had the specified extension '.ext'. - Some input/output formats and options may not be supported, depending on the configuration flags that have been set during the build of the G'MIC software. 8. Substitution rules ------------------ - G'MIC items containing '$' or '{}' are substituted before being interpreted. Use these substituting expressions to access various data from the interpreter environment. - '$name' and '${name}' are both substituted by the value of the specified named variable (set previously by the item 'name=value'). If this variable has not been already set, the expression is substituted by the highest positive indice of the named image '[name]'. If no image has this name, the expression is substituted by the value of the OS environment variable with same name (it may be thus an empty string). The following reserved variables are predefined by the G'MIC interpreter: . '$!': The current number of images in the list. . '$>' and '$<': The increasing/decreasing indice of the latest (currently running) 'repeat...done' loop. . '$/': The current call stack. Stack items are separated by slashes '/'. . '$|': The current value (expressed in seconds) of a millisecond precision timer. . '$^': The current verbosity level. . '$_cpus': The number of computation cores available on your machine. . '$_pid': The current process identifier, as an integer. . '$_prerelease': For pre-releases only, the date of the pre-release as 'yymmdd'. For stable releases, this variable is not defined. . '$_version': A 3-digits number telling about the current version of the G'MIC interpreter (e.g. '245'). . '$_vt100': Set to 1 (default value) if colored text output is allowed on the console. . '$_path_rc': The path to the G'MIC folder used to store resources and configuration files (its value is OS-dependent). . '$_path_user': The path to the G'MIC user file .gmic or user.gmic (its value is OS-dependent). - '$$name' and '$${name}' are both substituted by the G'MIC script code of the specified named custom command, or by an empty string if no custom command with specified name exists. - '${"-pipeline"}' is substituted by the status value after the execution of the specified G'MIC pipeline (see command 'status'). Expression '${}' thus stands for the current status value. - '{``string}' (starting with two backquotes) is substituted by a double-quoted version of the specified string. - '{/string}' is substituted by the escaped version of the specified string. - '{'string'}' (between single quotes) is substituted by the sequence of ascii codes that compose the specified string, separated by commas ','. For instance, item '{'foo'}' is substituted by '102,111,111'. - '{image,feature}' is substituted by a specific feature of the image [image]. 'image' can be either an image number or an image name. It can be also eluded, in which case, the last image '[-1]' of the list is considered for the requested feature. Specified 'feature' can be one of: . 'b': The image basename (i.e. filename without the folder path nor extension). . 'f': The image folder name. . 'n': The image name or filename (if the image has been read from a file). . 't': The text string from the image values regarded as ascii codes. . 'x': The image extension (i.e the characters after the last '.' in the image name). . '^ : The sequence of all image values, separated by commas ','. . '@subset': The sequence of image values corresponding to the specified subset, and separated by commas ','. . Any other 'feature' is considered as a mathematical expression associated to the image [image] and is substituted by the result of its evaluation (float value). For instance, expression '{0,w+h}' is substituted by the sum of the width and height of the first image (see section 'Mathematical expressions' for more details). If a mathematical expression starts with an underscore '_', the resulting value is truncated to a readable format. For instance, item '{_pi}' is substituted by '3.14159' (while '{pi}' is substituted by '3.141592653589793'). . A 'feature' delimited by backquotes is replaced by a string whose ascii codes correspond to the list of values resulting from the evaluation of the specified mathematical expression. For instance, item '{`[102,111,111]`}' is substituted by 'foo' and item '{`vector8(65)`}' by 'AAAAAAAA'. - '{*}' is substituted by the visibility state of the instant display window [0] (can be { 0=closed | 1=visible }). - '{*,feature}' or '{*indice,feature}' is substituted by a specific feature of the instant display window #0 (or #indice, if specified). Requested 'feature' can be: . 'w': display width (i.e. width of the display area managed by the window). . 'h': display height (i.e. height of the display area managed by the window). . 'wh': display width x display height. . 'w,h': display width, display height (equivalent to '{*,w},{*,h}'). . 'd': window width (i.e. width of the window widget). . 'e': window height (i.e. height of the window widget). . 'de': window width x window height. . 'd,e': window width, window height (equivalent to '{*,d},{*,e}'). . 'u': screen width (actually independent on the window size). .' v': screen height (actually independent on the window size). . 'uv': screen width x screen height. . 'u,v': screen width, screen height (equivalent to '{*,u},{*,v}'). . 'n': current normalization type of the instant display. . 't': window title of the instant display. . 'x': X-coordinate of the mouse position (or -1, if outside the display area). . 'y': Y-coordinate of the mouse position (or -1, if outside the display area). . 'b': state of the mouse buttons { 1=left-but. | 2=right-but. | 4=middle-but. }. . 'o': state of the mouse wheel. . 'k': decimal code of the pressed key if any, 0 otherwise. . 'c': boolean (0 or 1) telling if the instant display has been closed recently. . 'r': boolean telling if the instant display has been resized recently. . 'm': boolean telling if the instant display has been moved recently. . Any other 'feature' stands for a keycode name (in capital letters), and is substituted by a boolean describing the current key state { 0=pressed | 1=released }. . You can also prepend a hyphen '-' to a 'feature' (that supports it) to flush the corresponding event immediately after reading its state (works for keys, mouse and window events). - Item substitution is never performed in items between double quotes. One must break the quotes to enable substitution if needed, as in "3+8 kg = "{3+8}" kg". Using double quotes is then a convenient way to disable the substitutions mechanism in items, when necessary. - One can also disable the substitution mechanism on items outside double quotes, by escaping the '{','}' or '$' characters, as in '\{3+4\}\ doesn't\ evaluate'. 9. Mathematical expressions ------------------------ - G'MIC has an embedded mathematical parser. It is used to evaluate (possibly complex) expressions inside braces '{}', or formulas in commands that may take one as an argument (e.g. 'fill'). - When the context allows it, a formula is evaluated for each pixel of the selected images (e.g. 'fill'). - A math expression may return a scalar or vector-valued result (with a fixed number of components). - The mathematical parser understands the following set of functions, operators and variables: _ Usual operators: || (logical or), && (logical and), | (bitwise or), & (bitwise and), !=, ==, <=, >=, <, >, << (left bitwise shift), >> (right bitwise shift), -, +, *, /, % (modulo), ^ (power), ! (logical not), ~ (bitwise not), ++, --, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=, &=, |=, ^=, >>=, <<= (in-place operators). _ Usual math functions: abs(), acos(), acosh(), arg(), argkth(), argmax(), argmin(), asin(), asinh(), atan(), atan2(), atanh(), avg(), bool(), cbrt(), ceil(), cos(), cosh(), cut(), exp(), fact(), fibo(), floor(), gauss(), int(), isval(), isnan(), isinf(), isint(), isbool(), isfile(), isdir(), isin(), kth(), log(), log2(), log10(), max(), med(), min(), narg(), prod(), rol() (left bit rotation), ror() (right bit rotation), round(), sign(), sin(), sinc(), sinh(), sqrt(), std(), srand(_seed), sum(), tan(), tanh(), var(), xor(). . 'atan2(y,x)' is the version of 'atan()' with two arguments 'y' and 'x' (as in C/C++). . 'permut(k,n,with_order)' computes the number of permutations of k objects from a set of n objects. . 'gauss(x,_sigma,_is_normalized)' returns 'exp(-x^2/(2*s^2))/(is_normalized?sqrt(2*pi*sigma^2):1)'. . 'cut(value,min,max)' returns value if it is in range [min,max], or min or max otherwise. . 'narg(a_1,...,a_N)' returns the number of specified arguments (here, N). . 'arg(i,a_1,..,a_N)' returns the ith argument a_i. . 'isval()', 'isnan()', 'isinf()', 'isint()', 'isbool()' test the type of the given number or expression, and return 0 (false) or 1 (true). . 'isfile()' (resp. 'isdir()') returns 0 (false) or 1 (true) whether its argument is a path to an existing file (resp. to a directory) or not. . 'isin(v,a_1,...,a_n)' returns 0 (false) or 1 (true) whether the first value 'v' appears in the set of other values 'a_i'. . 'argmin()', 'argmax()', 'avg()', 'kth()', 'max()', 'med()', 'min()', 'std()', 'sum()' and 'var()' can be called with an arbitrary number of scalar/vector arguments. . 'round(value,rounding_value,direction)' returns a rounded value. 'direction' can be { -1=to-lowest | 0=to-nearest | 1=to-highest }. _ Variable names below are pre-defined. They can be overridden. . 'l': length of the associated list of images. . 'w': width of the associated image, if any (0 otherwise). . 'h': height of the associated image, if any (0 otherwise). . 'd': depth of the associated image, if any (0 otherwise). . 's': spectrum of the associated image, if any (0 otherwise). . 'r': shared state of the associated image, if any (0 otherwise). . 'wh': shortcut for width x height. . 'whd': shortcut for width x height x depth. . 'whds': shortcut for width x height x depth x spectrum (i.e. number of image values). . 'im','iM','ia','iv','is','ip','ic': Respectively the minimum, maximum, average, variance, sum, product and median value of the associated image, if any (0 otherwise). . 'xm','ym','zm','cm': The pixel coordinates of the minimum value in the associated image, if any (0 otherwise). . 'xM','yM','zM','cM': The pixel coordinates of the maximum value in the associated image, if any (0 otherwise). . All these variables are considered as constant values by the math parser (for optimization purposes) which is indeed the case most of the time. Anyway, this might not be the case, if function 'resize(#ind,..)' is used in the math expression. If so, it is safer to invoke functions 'l()', 'w(_#ind)', 'h(_#ind)', ... 's(_#ind)' and 'ic(_#ind)' instead of the corresponding named variables. . 'i': current processed pixel value (i.e. value located at (x,y,z,c)) in the associated image, if any (0 otherwise). . 'iN': Nth channel value of current processed pixel (i.e. value located at (x,y,z,N)) in the associated image, if any (0 otherwise). 'N' must be an integer in range [0,9]. . 'R','G','B' and 'A' are equivalent to 'i0', 'i1', 'i2' and 'i3' respectively. . 'I': current vector-valued processed pixel in the associated image, if any (0 otherwise). The number of vector components is equal to the number of image channels (e.g. I = [ R,G,B ] for a RGB image). . You may add '#ind' to any of the variable name above to retrieve the information for any numbered image [ind] of the list (when this makes sense). For instance 'ia#0' denotes the average value of the first image of the list). . 'x': current processed column of the associated image, if any (0 otherwise). . 'y': current processed row of the associated image, if any (0 otherwise). . 'z': current processed slice of the associated image, if any (0 otherwise). . 'c': current processed channel of the associated image, if any (0 otherwise). . 't': thread id when an expression is evaluated with multiple threads (0 means 'master thread'). . 'e': value of e, i.e. 2.71828... . 'pi': value of pi, i.e. 3.1415926... . 'u': a random value between [0,1], following a uniform distribution. . 'g': a random value, following a gaussian distribution of variance 1 (roughly in [-6,6]). . 'interpolation': value of the default interpolation mode used when reading pixel values with the pixel access operators (i.e. when the interpolation argument is not explicitly specified, see below for more details on pixel access operators). Its initial default value is 0. . 'boundary': value of the default boundary conditions used when reading pixel values with the pixel access operators (i.e. when the boundary condition argument is not explicitly specified, see below for more details on pixel access operators). Its initial default value is 0. _ Vector calculus: Most operators are also able to work with vector-valued elements. . '[ a0,a1,...,aN ]' defines a (N+1)-dimensional vector with scalar coefficients ak. . 'vectorN(a0,a1,,...,)' does the same, with the ak being repeated periodically if only a few are specified. . In both previous expressions, the ak can be vectors themselves, to be concatenated into a single vector. . The scalar element ak of a vector X is retrieved by 'X[k]'. . The sub-vector [ X[p]...X[p+q-1] ] (of size q) of a vector X is retrieved by 'X[p,q]'. . Equality/inequality comparisons between two vectors is done with operators '==' and '!='. . Some vector-specific functions can be used on vector values: 'cross(X,Y)' (cross product), 'dot(X,Y)' (dot product), 'size(X)' (vector dimension), 'sort(X,_is_increasing,_chunk_size)' (sorting values), 'reverse(A)' (reverse order of components), 'shift(A,_length,_boundary_conditions)' and 'same(A,B,_nb_vals,_is_case_sensitive)' (vector equality test). . Function 'normP(u1,...,un)' computes the LP-norm of the specified vector (P being an unsigned integer constant or 'inf'). If P is omitted, the L2 norm is used. . Function 'resize(A,size,_interpolation,_boundary_conditions)' returns a resized version of a vector 'A' with specified interpolation mode. 'interpolation' can be { -1=none (memory content) | 0=none | 1=nearest | 2=average | 3=linear | 4=grid | 5=bicubic | 6=lanczos }, and 'boundary_conditions' can be { 0=dirichlet | 1=neumann | 2=periodic | 3=mirror }. . Function 'find(A,B,_is_forward,_starting_indice)' returns the index where sub- vector B appears in vector A, (or -1 if B is not found in A). Argument A can be also replaced by an image indice #ind. . A 2-dimensional vector may be seen as a complex number and used in those particular functions/operators: '**' (complex multiplication), '//' (complex division), '^^' (complex exponentiation), '**=' (complex self-multiplication), '//=' (complex self-division), '^^=' (complex self-exponentiation), 'cabs()' (complex modulus), 'carg()' (complex argument), 'cconj()' (complex conjugate), 'cexp()' (complex exponential) and 'clog()' (complex logarithm). . A MN-dimensional vector may be seen as a M x N matrix and used in those particular functions/operators: '*' (matrix-vector multiplication), 'det(A)' (determinant), 'diag(V)' (diagonal matrix from a vector), 'eig(A)' (eigenvalues/eigenvectors), 'eye(n)' (n x n identity matrix), 'inv(A)' (matrix inverse), 'mul(A,B,_nb_colsB)' (matrix-matrix multiplication), 'pseudoinv(A,_nb_colsA)', 'rot(u,v,w,angle)' (3D rotation matrix), 'rot(angle)' (2D rotation matrix), 'solve(A,B,_nb_colsB)' (least-square solver of linear system A.X = B), 'svd(A,_nb_colsA)' (singular value decomposition), 'trace(A)' (matrix trace) and 'transp(A,nb_colsA)' (matrix transpose). Argument 'nb_colsB' may be omitted if it is equal to 1. . Specifying a vector-valued math expression as an argument of a command that operates on image values (e.g. 'fill') modifies the whole spectrum range of the processed image(s), for each spatial coordinates (x,y,z). The command does not loop over the C-axis in this case. _ String manipulation: Character strings are defined and managed as vectors objects. Dedicated functions and initializers to manage strings are . [ 'string' ] and 'string' define a vector whose values are the ascii codes of the specified character string (e.g. 'foo' is equal to [ 102,111,111 ]). . _'character' returns the (scalar) ascii code of the specified character (e.g. _'A' is equal to 65). . A special case happens for empty strings: Values of both expressions [ '' ] and '' are 0. . Functions 'lowercase()' and 'uppercase()' return string with all string characters lowercased or uppercased. . Function 'stov(str,_starting_indice,_is_strict)' parses specified string 'str' and returns the value contained in it. . Function 'vtos(expr,_nb_digits,_siz)' returns a vector of size 'siz' which contains the ascii representation of values described by expression 'expr'. 'nb_digits' can be { -1=auto-reduced | 0=all | >0=max number of digits }. . Function 'echo(str1,str2,...,strN)' prints the concatenation of given string arguments on the console. . Function 'cats(str1,str2,...,strN,siz)' returns the concatenation of given string arguments as a new vector of size 'siz'. _ Special operators can be used: . ';': expression separator. The returned value is always the last encountered expression. For instance expression '1;2;pi' is evaluated as 'pi'. . '=': variable assignment. Variables in mathematical parser can only refer to numerical values (vectors or scalars). Variable names are case-sensitive. Use this operator in conjunction with ';' to define more complex evaluable expressions, such as 't=cos(x);3*t^2+2*t+1'. These variables remain local to the mathematical parser and cannot be accessed outside the evaluated expression. . Variables defined in math parser may have a constant property, by specifying keyword const before the variable name (e.g. const foo = pi/4;). The value set to such a variable must be indeed a constant scalar. Constant variables allows certain types of optimizations in the math JIT compiler. _ The following specific functions are also defined: . 'u(max)' or 'u(min,max)': return a random value between [0,max] or [min,max], following a uniform distribution. . 'i(_a,_b,_c,_d,_interpolation_type,_boundary_conditions)': return the value of the pixel located at position (a,b,c,d) in the associated image, if any (0 otherwise). 'interpolation_type' can be { 0=nearest neighbor | other=linear }. 'boundary_conditions' can be { 0=dirichlet | 1=neumann | 2=periodic | 3=mirror }. Omitted coordinates are replaced by their default values which are respectively x, y, z, c, interpolation and boundary. For instance command 'fill 0.5*(i(x+1)-i(x-1))' will estimate the X-derivative of an image with a classical finite difference scheme. . 'j(_dx,_dy,_dz,_dc,_interpolation_type,_boundary_conditions)' does the same for the pixel located at position (x+dx,y+dy,z+dz,c+dc) (pixel access relative to the current coordinates). . 'i[offset,_boundary_conditions]' returns the value of the pixel located at specified 'offset' in the associated image buffer (or 0 if offset is out-of-bounds). . 'j[offset,_boundary_conditions]' does the same for an offset relative to the current pixel coordinates (x,y,z,c). . 'i(#ind,_x,_y,_z,_c,_interpolation,_boundary_conditions)', 'j(#ind,_dx,_dy,_dz,_dc,_interpolation,_boundary_conditions)', 'i[#ind,offset,_boundary_conditions]' and 'i[offset,_boundary_conditions]' are similar expressions used to access pixel values for any numbered image [ind] of the list. . 'I/J[offset,_boundary_conditions]' and 'I/J(#ind,_x,_y,_z,_interpolation,_boundary_conditions)' do the same as 'i/j[offset,_boundary_conditions]' and 'i/j(#ind,_x,_y,_z,_c,_interpolation,_boundary_conditions)' but return a vector instead of a scalar (e.g. a vector [ R,G,B ] for a pixel at (a,b,c) in a color image). . 'sort(#ind,_is_increasing,_axis)' sorts the values in the specified image [ind]. . 'crop(_#ind,_x,_y,_z,_c,_dx,_dy,_dz,_dc,_boundary_conditions)' returns a vector whose values come from the cropped region of image [ind] (or from default image selected if 'ind' is not specified). Cropped region starts from point (x,y,z,c) and has a size of dx x dy x dz x dc. Arguments for coordinates and sizes can be omitted if they are not ambiguous (e.g. 'crop(#ind,x,y,dx,dy)' is a valid invocation of this function). . 'draw(_#ind,S,x,y,z,c,dx,_dy,_dz,_dc,_opacity,_M,_max_M)' draws a sprite S in image [ind] (or in default image selected if 'ind' is not specified) at coordinates (x,y,z,c). The size of the sprite dx x dy x dz x dc must be specified. You can also specify a corresponding opacity mask M if its size matches S. . 'polygon(_#ind,nb_vertices,coords,_opacity,_color)' draws a filled polygon in image [ind] (or in default image selected if 'ind' is not specified) at specified coordinates. It draws a single line if 'nb_vertices' is set to 2. . 'ellipse(_#ind,xc,yc,radius1,_radius2,_angle,_opacity,_color)' draws a filled ellipse in image [ind] (or in default image selected if 'ind' is not specified) with specified coordinates and geometry. . 'resize(#ind,w,_h,_d,_s,_interp,_boundary_conditions,cx,_cy,_cz,_cc)' resizes an image of the associated list with specified dimension and interpolation method. When using this, function, you should consider retrieving the (non-constant) image dimensions using the dynamic functions 'w(_#ind)', 'h(_#ind)', 'd(_#ind)', 's(_#ind)', 'wh(_#ind)', 'whd(_#ind)' and 'whds(_#ind)' instead of the corresponding constant variables. . 'if(condition,expr_then,_expr_else)': return value of 'expr_then' or 'expr_else', depending on the value of 'condition' (0=false, other=true). 'expr_else' can be omitted in which case 0 is returned if the condition does not hold. Using the ternary operator 'condition?expr_then[:expr_else]' gives an equivalent expression. For instance, G'MIC commands 'fill if(x%10==0,255,i)' and 'fill x%10?i:255' both draw blank vertical lines on every 10th column of an image. . 'do(expression,_condition)' repeats the evaluation of 'expression' until 'condition' vanishes (or until 'expression' vanishes if no 'condition' is specified). For instance, the expression: 'if(N<2,N,n=N-1;F0=0;F1=1;do(F2=F0+F1;F0=F1;F1=F2,n=n-1))' returns the Nth value of the Fibonacci sequence, for N>=0 (e.g., 46368 for N=24). 'do(expression,condition)' always evaluates the specified expression at least once, then check for the loop condition. When done, it returns the last value of 'expression'. . 'for(init,condition,_procedure,body)' first evaluates the expression 'init', then iteratively evaluates 'body' (followed by 'procedure' if specified) while 'condition' is verified (i.e. not zero). It may happen that no iteration is done, in which case the function returns nan. Otherwise, it returns the last value of 'body'. For instance, the expression: 'if(N<2,N,for(n=N;F0=0;F1=1,n=n-1,F2=F0+F1;F0=F1;F1=F2))' returns the Nth value of the Fibonacci sequence, for N>=0 (e.g., 46368 for N=24). . 'while(condition,expression)' is exactly the same as 'for(init,condition,expression)' without the specification of an initializing expression. . 'break()' and 'continue()' respectively breaks and continues the current running bloc (loop, init or main environment). . 'fsize(filename)' returns the size of the specified 'filename' (or '-1' if file does not exist). . 'date(attr,path)' returns the date attribute for the given 'path' (file or directory), with 'attr' being { 0=year | 1=month | 2=day | 3=day of week | 4=hour | 5=minute | 6=second }, or a vector of those values. . 'date(_attr) returns the specified attribute for the current (locale) date. . 'print(expr1,expr2,...) or 'print(#ind) prints the value of the specified expressions (or image information) on the console, and returns the value of the last expression (or nan in case of an image). Function 'prints(expr)' also prints the string composed of the ascii characters defined by the vector-valued expression (e.g. 'prints('Hello')'). . 'debug(expression) prints detailed debug information about the sequence of operations done by the math parser to evaluate the expression (and returns its value). . 'display(_X,_w,_h,_d,_s) or 'display(#ind) display the contents of the vector 'X' (or specified image) and wait for user events. if no arguments are provided, a memory snapshot of the math parser environment is displayed instead. . 'begin(expression) and 'end(expression) evaluates the specified expressions only once, respectively at the beginning and end of the evaluation procedure, and this, even when multiple evaluations are required (e.g. in 'fill ">begin(foo = 0); ++foo"'). . 'copy(dest,src,_nb_elts,_inc_d,_inc_s,_opacity) copies an entire memory block of 'nb_elts' elements starting from a source value 'src' to a specified destination 'dest', with increments defined by 'inc_d' and 'inc_s' respectively for the destination and source pointers. . 'stats(_#ind) returns the statistics vector of the running image '[ind]', i.e the vector [ im,iM,ia,iv,xm,ym,zm,cm,xM,yM,zM,cM,is,ip ] (14 values). . 'unref(a,b,...) destroys references to the named variable given as arguments. . 'breakpoint() inserts a possible computation breakpoint (not supported by the cli interface). . '_(expr) just ignores its arguments (mainly useful for debugging). . 'ext('pipeline') executes the specified G'MIC pipeline as if it was called outside the currently evaluated expression. - User-defined macros: . Custom macro functions can be defined in a math expression, using the assignment operator '=', e.g. 'foo(x,y) = cos(x + y); result = foo(1,2) + foo(2,3)'. . Trying to override a built-in function (e.g. 'abs()') has no effect. . Overloading macros with different number of arguments is possible. Re-defining a previously defined macro with the same number of arguments discards its previous definition. . Macro functions are indeed processed as macros by the mathematical evaluator. You should avoid invoking them with arguments that are themselves results of assignments or self-operations. For instance, 'foo(x) = x + x; z = 0; foo(++z)' returns '4' rather than expected value '2'. . When substituted, macro arguments are placed inside parentheses, except if a number sign '#' is located just before or after the argument name. For instance, expression 'foo(x,y) = x*y; foo(1+2,3)' returns '9' (being substituted as '(1+2)*(3)'), while expression 'foo(x,y) = x#*y#; foo(1+2,3)' returns '7' (being substituted as '1+2*3'). . Number signs appearing between macro arguments function actually count for 'empty' separators. They may be used to force the substitution of macro arguments in unusual places, e.g. as in 'str(N) = ['I like N#'];'. - Multi-threaded and in-place evaluation: . If your image data are large enough and you have several CPUs available, it is likely that the math expression passed to a 'fill' or 'input' command is evaluated in parallel, using multiple computation threads. . Starting an expression with ':' or '*' forces the evaluations required for an image to be run in parallel, even if the amount of data to process is small (beware, it may be slower to evaluate in this case!). Specify ':' (instead of '*') to avoid possible image copy done before evaluating the expression (this saves memory, but do this only if you are sure this step is not required!) . If the specified expression starts with '>' or '<', the pixel access operators 'i(), i[], j()' and 'j[]' return values of the image being currently modified, in forward ('>') or backward ('<') order. The multi-threading evaluation of the expression is also disabled in this case. . Function 'critical(operands)' forces the execution of the given operands in a single thread at a time. _ Expressions 'i(_#ind,x,_y,_z,_c)=value', 'j(_#ind,x,_y,_z,_c)=value', 'i[_#ind,offset]=value' and 'j[_#ind,offset]=value' set a pixel value at a different location than the running one in the image [ind] (or in the associated image if argument '#ind' is omitted), either with global coordinates/offsets (with 'i(...)' and 'i[...]'), or relatively to the current position (x,y,z,c) (with 'j(...)' and 'j[...]'). These expressions always return 'value'. - The last image of the list is always associated to the evaluations of '{expressions}', e.g. G'MIC sequence '256,128 fill {w}' will create a 256x128 image filled with value 256. 10. Image and data viewers ---------------------- - G'MIC has some very handy embedded visualization modules, for 1D signals (command 'plot'), 1D/2D/3D images (command 'display') and 3D objects (command 'display3d'). It manages interactive views of the selected image data. - The following keyboard shortcuts are available in the interactive viewers: . (mousewheel): Zoom in/out. . CTRL+D: Increase window size. . CTRL+C: Decrease window size. . CTRL+R: Reset window size. . CTRL+W: Close window. . CTRL+F: Toggle fullscreen mode. . CTRL+S: Save current window snapshot as numbered file 'gmic_xxxx.bmp'. . CTRL+O: Save current instance of the viewed data, as numbered file 'gmic_xxxx.cimgz'. - Shortcuts specific to the 1D/2D/3D image viewer (command 'display') are: . CTRL+A: Switch cursor mode. . CTRL+P: Play z-stack of frames as a movie (for volumetric 3D images). . CTRL+V: Show/hide 3D view (for volumetric 3D images). . CTRL+(mousewheel): Go up/down. . SHIFT+(mousewheel): Go left/right. . Numeric PAD: Zoom in/out (+/-) and move through zoomed image (digits). . BACKSPACE: Reset zoom scale. - Shortcuts specific to the 3D object viewer (command 'display3d') are: . (mouse)+(left mouse button): Rotate 3D object. . (mouse)+(right mouse button): Zoom 3D object. . (mouse)+(middle mouse button): Shift 3D object. . CTRL+F1 ... CTRL+F6: Toggle between different 3D rendering modes. . CTRL+Z: Enable/disable z-buffered rendering. . CTRL+A: Show/hide 3D axes. . CTRL+G: Save 3D object, as numbered file 'gmic_xxxx.off'. . CTRL+T: Switch between single/double-sided 3D modes. 11. Adding custom commands ---------------------- - New custom commands can be added by the user, through the use of G'MIC custom commands files. - A command file is a simple ascii text file, where each line starts either by 'command_name: command_definition' or 'command_definition (continuation)'. - At startup, G'MIC automatically includes user's command file $HOME/.gmic (on Unix) or %APPDATA%/user.gmic (on Windows). The CLI tool 'gmic' automatically runs the command 'cli_start' if defined. - Custom command names must use character set [a-zA-Z0-9_] and cannot start with a number. - Any ' # comment' expression found in a custom commands file is discarded by the G'MIC parser, wherever it is located in a line. - In a custom command, the following $-expressions are recognized and substituted: . '$*' is substituted by a copy of the specified string of arguments. . '$"*"' is substituted by a copy of the specified string of arguments, each being double-quoted. . '$#' is substituted by the maximum indice of known arguments (either specified by the user or set to a default value in the custom command). . '$[]' is substituted by the list of selected image indices that have been specified during the command invocation. . '$?' is substituted by a printable version of '$[]' to be used in command descriptions. . '$i' and '${i}' are both substituted by the i^th specified argument. Negative indices such as '${-j}' are allowed and refer to the j^th latest argument. '$0' is substituted by the custom command name. . '${i=default}' is substituted by the value of $i (if defined) or by its new value set to 'default' otherwise ('default' may be a $-expression as well). . '${subset}' is substituted by the argument values (separated by commas ',') of a specified argument subset. For instance expression '${2--2}' is substitued by all specified command arguments except the first and the last one. Expression '${^0}' is then substituted by all arguments of the invoked command (eq. to '$*' if all specified arguments have indeed a value). . '$=var' is substituted by the set of instructions that will assign each argument $i to the named variable 'var$i' (for i in [0...$#]). This is particularly useful when a custom command want to manage variable numbers of arguments. Variables names must use character set [a-zA-Z0-9_] and cannot start with a number. - These particular $-expressions for custom commands are always substituted, even in double-quoted items or when the dollar sign '$' is escaped with a backslash '\'. To avoid substitution, place an empty double quoted string just after the '$' (as in '$""1'). - Specifying arguments may be skipped when invoking a custom command, by replacing them by commas ',' as in expression 'flower ,,3'. Omitted arguments are set to their default values, which must be thus explicitly defined in the code of the corresponding custom command (using default argument expressions as '${1=default}'). - If one numbered argument required by a custom command misses a value, an error is thrown by the G'MIC interpreter. 12. List of commands ---------------- All available G'MIC commands are listed below, classified by themes. When several choices of command arguments are possible, they appear separated by '|'. An argument specified inside '[]' or starting by '_' is optional except when standing for an existing image [image], where 'image' can be either an indice number or an image name. In this case, the '[]' characters are mandatory when writing the item. A command marked with '(+)' is one of the builtin commands. Note also that all images that serve as illustrations in this reference documentation are normalized in [0,255] before being displayed. You may need to do this explicitly (command 'normalize 0,255') if you want to save and view images with the same aspect than those illustrated in the example codes. ** Global Options: debug (+): Activate debug mode. When activated, the G'MIC interpreter becomes very verbose and outputs additional log messages about its internal state on the standard output (stdout). This option is useful for developers or to report possible bugs of the interpreter. help: command | (no arg) Display help (optionally for specified command only) and exit. (eq. to 'h'). version: Display current version number on stdout. ** Input / Output: camera (+): _camera_index>=0,_nb_frames>0,_skip_frames>=0,_capture_width>=0, _capture_height>=0 Insert one or several frames from specified camera. When 'nb_frames==0', the camera stream is released instead of capturing new images. Default values: 'camera_index=0' (default camera), 'nb_frames=1', 'skip_frames=0' and 'capture_width=capture_height=0' (default size). clut: "clut_name",_resolution>0 Insert one of the pre-defined CLUTs at the end of the image list. 'clut_name' can be { 60's | 60's_faded | 60's_faded_alt | agfa_apx_100 | agfa_apx_25 | agfa_precisa_100 | agfa_ultra_color_100 | agfa_vista_200 | alien_green | analogfx_anno_1870_color |
