        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  |

       vector
               (if 'feature_type!=0') containing the feature coordinates.

       form.
               'datatype'  can  be { auto | uchar | char | ushort | short | uint | int | uint64 |
       int64 | float |           double }.
               Specify 'datatype' if all selected images have a range of values constrained to  a
       particular           datatype, in order to minimize the memory footprint.

       raw image of
               unsigned chars (doing so will output a valid .cimg[z] or .gmz file).

       percentage of           the original sprite size).
               'spacing' can be positive or negative.

               filename

               Start a 'elif...[else]...fi' block if previous 'if' was not verified
               and test if specified boolean is true, or if specified filename exists.

               Command selection (if any) stands for displayed call stack subset instead of image
       indices.

           eval (+):
               expression

               Evaluate specified math expression.

       result is set           to status.
               -  If  command  selection  is  specified,  the  evaluation is looped over selected
       images. Status is           not modified.
               (in this latter case, 'eval' is similar to  'fill'  without  assigning  the  image
       values).

               Default value: 'action=1'.

           noarg (+):

               Used in a custom command, 'noarg' tells the command that its  argument  list  have
       not been used
               finally,  and so they must be evaluated next in the G'MIC pipeline, just as if the
       custom
               command takes no arguments at all.
               Use this command to write a custom command which can decide if it takes  arguments
       or not.

           onfail (+):

               Execute  following  commands  when  an  error  is  encountered  in the body of the

               "G'MIC pipeline"

               Run specified G'MIC pipeline.
               This is only useful when used from a shell, e.g. to avoid shell  substitutions  to
       happen in argument.

           skip (+):
               item

               Do nothing but skip specified item.

           status (+):

               boolean |
               filename

               End a 'do...while' block and go back to associated 'do'
               if specified boolean is true or if specified filename exists.
               'boolean' can be a float number standing for { 0=false | other=true }.
