         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 aspects of the G'MIC framework,
       in its
         current version 2.9.4.
         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 index '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 define a new custom G'MIC command (stored in a user command file),
       and
         re-used afterwards as a regular command, 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 '\fR' 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[xN]':  Insert  one  or N images
       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,..)[xN]': Insert one or N new images 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.
           -  '('string'[:delimiter])[xN]':  Insert one or N new images from specified string, by
       filling the
         images with the character codes composing the string. When specified, 'delimiter'  tells
       about the
         main  orientation  of the image. Delimiter can be 'x' (eq. to ',' which is the default),
       'y' (eq. to
         ';'), 'z' (eq. to '/') or 'c' (eq. to '^'). When specified delimiter is ',', ';', '/' or
       '^', the
         expression   is  actually  equivalent  to  '({'string'[:delimiter]})[xN]'  (see  section
       ''Substitution
         Rules'' for more information on the syntax).
           - '0[xN]': Insert one or N new empty images, 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 string 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. '+=').

         *  Variables  usually  store numbers or strings. Use command 'store' to assign variables
       from image
         data (and syntax input $variable to bring them back on the image list afterwards).

         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[0-9:25%]': Apply command only on images '[0]' to '[9]', with a step of 25%
       (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 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 '+' 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:

           -  Built-in  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
         built-in  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  built-in  or  other  custom
       commands. They
         are  parsed  by the G'MIC interpreter, and thus run a bit slower than built-in 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 built-in 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 text 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' where 'keep_open' can be { 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_subsampl
         ing[,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'  where
       'debug_info' can be
         { 0=false | 1=true }.
           - 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 index 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 if it is not defined).

         * The following reserved variables are predefined by the G'MIC interpreter:

           - '$!': The current number of images in the list.
           - '$>' and '$<': The increasing/decreasing index of the latest (currently running)
         'repeat...done' loop. '$>' goes from 0 (first loop iteration) to nb_iterations - 1 (last
         iteration). '$<' does the opposite.
           - '$/': 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.
           - '$_prerelease': For pre-releases, the date of the pre-release as yymmdd. For  stable
       releases,
         this variable is set to 0.
           -  '$_version':  A  3-digits  number  telling  about  the current version of the G'MIC
       interpreter
         (e.g. '294').
           - '$_host': A string telling about the host running the G'MIC interpreter (e.g. cli or
       gimp).
           - '$_vt100': Set to 1 if colored text output is allowed on the console. Otherwise, set
       to 0.
           - '$_path_rc': The path to the G'MIC folder used to  store  configuration  files  (its
       value is
         OS-dependent).
           - '$_path_user': The path to the G'MIC user file .gmic or user.gmic (its value is
         OS-dependent).
           -  '$_path_commands':  A  list  of all imported command files (stored as a list-valued
       variable).
         * '$$name' and '$${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'[:delimiter]}' (between single quotes) is substituted  by  the  sequence  of
       character
         codes  that  composes  the  specified string, separated by specified delimiter. Possible
       delimiters are
         ',' (default), ';', '/', '^' or ' '. For instance,  item  '{'foo'}'  is  substituted  by
       '102,111,111'
         and '{'foo':;}' by '102;111;111'.

         *  '{image,feature[:delimiter]}'  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 character 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  character  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 }.

         * '{*[index],feature1,...,featureN[:delimiter]}' is substituted by  a  specific  set  of
       features of
         the  instant  display  window '#0' (or '#index', if specified). Requested 'features' 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.
           - '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.
           - 'u': screen width (actually independent on the window size).
           - 'v': screen height (actually independent on the window size).
           - 'uv': screen width x screen height.
           - '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, used to evaluate (possibly complex) math
         expressions  specified  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 a 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()', 'arg0()', 'argkth()', 'argmax()',  'argmaxabs()',
       'argmin()',
         'argminabs()',  'asin()',  'asinh()', 'atan()', 'atan2()', 'atanh()', 'avg()', 'bool()',
       'cbrt()',
         'ceil()', 'cos()', 'cosh()', 'cut()', 'exp()', 'fact()', 'fibo()', 'floor()', 'gauss()',
       'gcd()',
         'int()', 'isnan()', 'isnum()', 'isinf()', 'isint()', 'isbool()', 'isexpr()', 'isfile()',
       'isdir()',
         'isin()', 'kth()', 'log()', 'log2()', 'log10()', 'max()', 'maxabs()', 'med()',  'min()',
       'minabs()',
         '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 i-th argument 'a_i'.

         * 'isnum()', 'isnan()', 'isinf()', 'isint()', 'isbool()' test  the  type  of  the  given
       number or
         expression, and return '0' (false) or '1' (true).

         * 'isfile('path')' (resp. 'isdir('path')') returns '0' (false) or '1' (true) whether its
       string
         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'.

         * 'inrange(value,m,M,include_m,include_M)' returns '0' (false) or '1' (true) whether the
       specified
         value lies in range '[m,M]' or not ('include_m' and 'includeM' tells how boundaries  'm'
       and 'M' are
         considered).

         *  'argkth()',  'argmin()', 'argmax()', 'argminabs()', 'argmaxabs()'', 'avg()', 'kth()',
       'min()',
         'max()', 'minabs()', 'maxabs()', 'med()', 'prod()', 'std()', 'sum()' and 'var()' can  be
       called with
         an arbitrary number of scalar/vector arguments.

         *  'vargkth()',  'vargmin()',  'vargmax()',  'vargminabs()',  'vargmaxabs()',  'vavg()',
       'vkth()',
         'vmin()', 'vmax()', 'vminabs()', 'vmaxabs()', 'vmed()',  'vprod()',  'vstd()',  'vsum()'
       and 'vvar()'
         are the versions of the previous function with vector-valued arguments.

         * 'round(value,rounding_value,direction)' returns a rounded value. 'direction' can be {
         -1=to-lowest | 0=to-nearest | 1=to-highest }.

         * 'lerp(a,b,t)' returns 'a*(1-t) + b*t'.

         * 'swap(a,b)' swaps the values of the given arguments.

         # Variable names:

         Variable names below are pre-defined. They can be overridden.
         * 'l': length of the associated list of images.

         * 'k': index of the associated image, in '[0,l-1]'.

         * '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', 'in': Respectively the minimum, maximum,
       average,
         variance, sum, product, median value and L2-norm 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  'in(_#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': N-th 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-1]' defines a 'N'-dimensional vector with scalar coefficients 'ak'.

         * 'vectorN(a0,a1,,...,aN-1)' does the same, with the 'ak' being repeated periodically if
       only a few
         are specified.

         * 'vector(#N,a0,a1,,...,aN-1)'  does  the  same,  and  can  be  used  for  any  constant
       expression 'N'.

         * In 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+s]...X[p+s*(q-1)]]'  (of  size  'q')  of  a  vector  'X'  is
       retrieved by
         'X[p,q,s]'.

         * 'expr('formula',_w,_h,_d,_s)' outputs a vector of size 'w*h*d*s' with values generated
       from the
         specified formula, as if one were filling an image with dimensions '(w,h,d,s)'.

         * 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,_nb_elts,_size_elt)'
         (sorted 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 calculated.

         *   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,_starting_index,_search_step)' returns the index where sub-vector
       'B' appears
         in vector 'A', (or '-1' if 'B' is not contained  in  'A').  Argument  'A'  can  be  also
       replaced by an
         image index '#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),  'clog()'  (complex  logarithm),   'ccos()'
       (complex
         cosine),  'csin()'  (complex  sine),  'ctan()'  (complex  tangent),  'ccosh()'  (complex
       hyperpolic
         cosine), 'csinh()' (complex hyperbolic sine) and 'ctanh()' (complex hyperbolic tangent).

         * 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),  'invert(A,_solver)'  (matrix  inverse),  'mul(A,B,_nb_colsB)'   (matrix-matrix
       multiplication),
         'pseudoinvert(A,_nb_colsA,_solver)',    'rot(u,v,w,angle)'    (3D    rotation   matrix),
       'rot(angle)' (2D
         rotation  matrix),  'solve(A,B,_nb_colsB)'  (solver  of  linear   system   A.X   =   B),
       'svd(A,_nb_colsA)'
         (singular  value  decomposition),  'trace(A)' (matrix trace) and 'transpose(A,nb_colsA)'
       (matrix
         transpose). Argument 'nb_colsB' may be omitted if it is equal to 1.

         * 'mproj(S,nb_colsS,D,nb_colsD,method,max_iter,max_residual)' projects a matrix 'S' onto
       a
         dictionary (matrix) 'D'. Equivalent to command mproj but inside the math evaluator.

         *  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 character  codes  of  the
       specified
         character string (e.g. 'foo' is equal to [ 102,111,111 ]).

         *  _'character'  returns the (scalar) byte 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_index,_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 character
         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 'string(_#siz,str1,str2,...,strN)' generates a vector  corresponding  to  the
       concatenation
         of given string/number arguments.

         # Special operators:

         *  ';':  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.

         # Specific functions:

         * 'u(max)' or 'u(min,max)': return a random  value  between  '[0,max]'  or  '[min,max]',
       following a
         uniform distribution.

         *  'f2ui(value)'  and  'ui2f(value)':  Convert  a  large  unsigned integer as a negative
       floating point
         value (and vice-versa), so that 32bits floats can be used to store large integers  while
       keeping a
         unitary precision.

         *  '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  |  1=linear  |  2=cubic  }.  '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).

         *  '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.

         * 'polygon(_#ind,-nb_vertices,coords,_opacity,_pattern,_color)' draws a outlined polygon
       in image
         '[ind]'  (or  in  default  image  selected  if  'ind'  is  not  specified)  at specified
       coordinates and with
         specified line pattern. 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.

         *  'ellipse(_#ind,xc,yc,-radius1,-_radius2,_angle,_opacity,_pattern,_color)'  draws   an
       outlined
         ellipse in image '[ind]' (or in default image selected if 'ind' is not specified).

         *   '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 N-th 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' holds (i.e.
       not zero). It
         may happen that no iterations are 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  'N'-th  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
       (attributes being {
         0...6=same meaning as above | 7=milliseconds }).

         *  '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  character  codes
       defined by
         the vector-valued expression (e.g. 'prints('Hello')').

         *  'debug(expression)'  prints detailed debug info 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).

         * 'ref(expr,a)' references specified expression 'expr' as variable name 'a'.

         * 'unref(a,b,...)' destroys references to the named variable given as arguments.

         *  'breakpoint()'  inserts  a  possible  computation  breakpoint  (useless  with the cli
       interface).

         * '_(expr)' just ignores its arguments (useful for inserting  inline  comments  in  math
       expressions).

         *  'run('pipeline')'  executes  the specified G'MIC pipeline as if it was called outside
       the currently
         evaluated expression.

         * 'store(A,'varname',_w,_h,_d,_s,_is_compressed)' transfers the data of vector 'A' as  a
       `w x h x d
         x  s`  image  to the G'MIC variable '$varname'. Thus, the data becomes available outside
       the math
         expression (that is equivalent to using the regular command 'store', but directly in the
       math
         expression).

         *  'get('variable_name',_size,_to_numbers)' returns the value of the specified variable,
       as a vector
         of 'size' values, or as a scalar (if 'size' is zero or not specified).

         * 'name(_#ind,size)' returns a vector of size 'size', whose values  are  the  characters
       codes of the
         name of image '[ind]' (or default image selected if 'ind' is not specified).

         *
       'correlate(I,wI,hI,dI,sI,K,wK,hK,dK,sK,_boundary_conditions,_is_normalized,_channel_mode,_xcenter,
         _ycenter,_zcenter,_xstart,_ystart,_zstart,_xend,_yend,_zend,_xstride,_ystride,_zstride,_xdilation,_y
         dilation,_zdilation)' returns the correlation, unrolled as a vector, of the `wI x  hI  x
       dI x
         sI-sized  image  'I'  with  the  wK x hK x dK x sK`-sized kernel 'K' (the meaning of the
       other
         arguments are the same as in command 'correlate'). Similar function  'convolve(...)'  is
       also defined
         for computing the convolution between 'I' and 'K'.

         # 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', 'eval' or 'input' commands 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 ':' (rather than '*') 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 disabled in this case.

         * Function 'critical(expr)' forces the execution of the given  expression  in  a  single
       thread at a
         time.

         *  'begin_t(expr)'  and  'end_t(expr)'  evaluates the specified expression once for each
       running thread
         (so possibly several times) at the beginning and the end of the evaluation procedure.

         * 'merge(variable,operator)' tells  to  merge  the  local  variable  value  computed  by
       threads, with the
         specified operator, when all threads have finished computing.

         *       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  vector  objects  (command  'display3d').  It
       manages
         interactive views of the selected image data.

           - CTRL+Z: Enable/disable z-buffered rendering.

         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 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.
           - '$#' is substituted by the maximum index of known arguments (either specified by the
       user or
         set to a default value in the custom command).
           -  '$[]' is substituted by the list of selected image indices that have been specified
       in 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  '${2--2}'  is substituted by all specified
       command
         arguments except the first and the last one. Expression '${^0}' is then  substituted  by
       all
         arguments  of  the  invoked  command  (eq.  to  '$*'  if  all arguments have been indeed
       specified).
           - '$=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 'fR'. 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,  by  categories.  An  argument  specified
       between '[]' or
         starting  by '_' is optional except when standing for an existing image '[image]', where
       'image' can
         be either an index number or an image name.  In  this  case,  the  '[]'  characters  are
       mandatory when
         writing  the  item.  Note  that all images that serve as illustrations in this reference
       documentation
         are normalized in range [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.

         12.1. 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.

         h:
             Shortcut for command 'help'.

         help:
             command |
             (no arg)

           Display help (optionally for specified command only) and exit.
           (equivalent to shortcut command 'h').

         version:

           Display current version number on stdout.

         12.2. 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,_cut_and_round={ 0=no | 1=yes }

           Insert one of the 862 pre-defined CLUTs at the end of the image list.
           'clut_name'  can  be  {  2-strip-process  |  60s  |  60s_faded   |   60s_faded_alt   |

             _mode = { 0=hide | 1=show }

           Show or hide mouse cursor for selected instant display windows.
           Command  selection (if any) stands for instant display window indices instead of image
       indices.

           Default value: 'mode=1'.

         d (+):
             Shortcut for command 'display'.

             _X[%]>=0,_Y[%]>=0,_Z[%]>=0,_exit_on_anykey={ 0 | 1 }

           Display selected images in an interactive viewer (use the instant display  window  [0]
       if opened).
           (equivalent to shortcut command 'd').

           Arguments 'X','Y','Z' determine the initial selection view, for 3D volumetric images.

           Default value: 'X=Y=Z=0' and 'exit_on_anykey=0'.

           Tutorial: https://gmic.eu/tutorial/_display.shtml

         d0:
             Shortcut for command 'display0'.

         display0:

           Display selected images without value normalization.
           (equivalent to shortcut command 'd0').

         d2d:

           (equivalent to shortcut command 'd2d').

           This command is used by default by command 'display' when displaying 2d images.
           If selected image is a volumetric image, each slice is displayed on a separate display
           window  (up  to 10 images can be displayed simultaneously this way), with synchronized
       moves.
           When interactive window is opened, the following actions are possible:
           * Left mouse button: Create an image selection and zoom into it.
           * Middle mouse button, or CTRL+left mouse button: Move image.
           * Mouse wheel or PADD+/-: Zoom in/out.
           * Arrow keys: Move image left/right/up/down.
           * CTRL + A: Enable/disable transparency (show/hide alpha channel).
           * CTRL + C: Decrease window size.
           * CTRL + D: Increase window size.
           * CTRL + F: Toggle fullscreen mode.
           * CTRL + N: Change normalization mode (can be { none | normal | channel-by-channel }).
           * CTRL + O: Save a copy of the input image, as a numbered file 'gmic_xxxxxx.gmz'.
           * CTRL + R: Reset both window size and view.
           *  CTRL  +  S:  Save  a  screenshot  of  the  current  view,  as   a   numbered   file
       'gmic_xxxxxx.png'.
           * CTRL + SPACE: Reset view.
           * CTRL + X: Show/hide axes.
           * CTRL + Z: Hold/release aspect ratio.

         d3d:
             Shortcut for command 'display3d'.

         display3d:
             _[background_image],_exit_on_anykey={ 0 | 1 } |
             _exit_on_anykey={ 0 | 1 }

           Display  selected  3D objects in an interactive viewer (use the instant display window
       [0] if opened).
           (equivalent to shortcut command 'd3d').

           Default values: '[background_image]=(default)' and 'exit_on_anykey=0'.

         da:
             Shortcut for command 'display_array'.

         display_array:
             _width>0,_height>0

           Display images in interactive windows where pixel neighborhoods can be explored.

           Default values: 'width=13' and 'height=width'.

         dc:
             Shortcut for command 'display_camera'.

         display_camera:

           Open camera viewer.

         dfft:
             Shortcut for command 'display_fft'.

         display_fft:

           Display fourier transform of selected images, with centered log-module and argument.
           (equivalent to shortcut command 'dfft').

           Example: [#1] image.jpg +display_fft

         dg:
             Shortcut for command 'display_graph'.

         display_graph:
             _width>=0,_height>=0,_plot_type,_vertex_type,_xmin,_xmax,_ymin,_ymax,_xlabel,_ylabel

           Render graph plot from selected image data.
           'plot_type' can be { 0=none | 1=lines | 2=splines | 3=bar }.
           'vertex_type' can be { 0=none | 1=points | 2,3=crosses | 4,5=circles | 6,7=squares }.
           'xmin','xmax','ymin','ymax' set the coordinates of the displayed xy-axes.

       they do not
           belong
           to the context (selection) of the current custom command or local environment as well.
           Typical use of command 'pass' concerns the design of custom commands that take  images
       as arguments.

       },_is_deep_selection={ 0 | 1 }

           Interactively select a feature from selected images (use the  instant  display  window
       [0] if opened).
           'feature_type' can be { 0=point | 1=segment | 2=rectangle | 3=ellipse }.
           Arguments 'X','Y','Z' determine the initial selection view, for 3D volumetric images.
           The  retrieved  feature  is  returned as a 3D vector (if 'feature_type==0') or as a 6d
       vector

       particular
           datatype,
           in order to minimize the memory footprint.
           The resulting image has only integers values in [0,255] and can then be saved as a raw
       image of
           unsigned chars (doing so will output a valid .cimg[z] or .gmz file).
           If 'store_names' is set to '1', serialization uses the .gmz format to  store  data  in
       memory
           (otherwise the .cimg[z] format).

           If a single variable name is specified, all images of the selection are assigned
           to the named variable. Otherwise, there must be as many variable names as images
           in  the  selection,  and  each  selected  image  is  assigned  to each specified named

           If 'width' or 'height' is set to -1, the corresponding dimension is  adjusted  to  the
       window
           or image size.
           Specify  'pos_x'  and  'pos_y'  arguments  only  if  the window has to be moved to the
       specified
           coordinates. Otherwise, they can be avoided.
           'width'=0 or 'height'=0 closes the instant display window.
           'normalization' can be { -1=keep same | 0=none | 1=always | 2=1st-time | 3=auto }.
           'fullscreen' can be { -1=keep same | 0=no | 1=yes }.
           You can manage up to 10 different  instant  display  windows  by  using  the  numbered
       variants
           'w0' (default, eq. to 'w'),'w1',...,'w9' of the command 'w'.

       their
             default values
           from the 3D environment variables.

       | 3=any },       _spacing,_precision>=0,max_iterations>=0

           Try to randomly pack as many sprites as possible onto the 'empty' areas of an image.
           Sprites can be eventually rotated and scaled during the packing process.
           First selected image is the canvas that will be filled with the sprites.
           Its last channel must be a binary mask whose zero values represent potential locations
       for drawing
           the sprites.
           All other selected images represent the sprites considered for packing.
           Their  last  channel  must  be  a binary mask that represents the sprite shape (i.e. a
       8-connected
           component).
           The order of sprite packing follows the order of specified sprites in the image list.
           Sprite packing is done on random locations and iteratively with decreasing scales.
           'nb_scales' sets the number of decreasing scales considered for all specified  sprites
       to be packed.
           'min_scale'  (in  %)  sets  the  minimal  size  considered for packing (specified as a
       percentage of the
           original sprite size).
           'spacing' can be positive or negative.
           'precision' tells about the desired number of failed trials before ending the  filling
       process.

           Default   values:   'nb_scales=5',  'min_scale=25',  'allow_rotation=3',  'spacing=1',
       'precision=7'
             and 'max_iterations=256'.

         mproj (+):
             [dictionary],_method,_max_iter={ 0=auto | >0 },_max_residual>=0

           Find best matching projection of selected matrices onto the span of an over-complete
           dictionary D, using the orthogonal projection or Matching Pursuit algorithm.
           Selected images are 2D-matrices in which each column represent a signal to project.
           '[dictionary]' is a matrix in which each column is an element of the dictionary D.
           'method' tells what projection algorithm must be applied. It can be:
              - 0 = orthogonal projection (least-squares solution using LU-based solver).
              - 1 = matching pursuit.
              - 2 = matching pursuit, with a single orthogonal projection step at the end.
               -  >=3  =  orthogonal  matching  pursuit  where  an  orthogonal projection step is
       performed
                      every 'method-2' iterations.
           'max_iter' sets the max number of iterations processed for each signal.
           If set to '0' (default), 'max_iter' is equal to the number of columns in D.
           (only meaningful for matching pursuit and its variants).
           'max_residual' gives a stopping criterion on signal reconstruction accuracy.
           (only meaningful for matching pursuit and its variants).
           For each selected image, the result is returned as a matrix W
           whose columns correspond to the weights associated to each column of D,
           such that the matrix product D*W is an approximation of the input matrix.

           Default values: 'method=0', 'max_iter=0' and 'max_residual=1e-6'.

           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.

           previously defined progress bounds), or call the specified command with
           specified progress bounds.

         run:
             "G'MIC pipeline"

           Run specified G'MIC pipeline.

         13. Examples of Use
             ---------------

         gmic is a generic image processing  tool  which  can  be  used  in  a  wide  variety  of
       situations. The
         few examples below illustrate possible uses of this tool:

         ## View a list of images:

           $ gmic file1.bmp file2.jpeg

         ## Convert an image file:

           $ gmic input.bmp output output.jpg

         ## Create a volumetric image from a movie sequence:

           $ gmic input.mpg append z output output.hdr

         ## Compute image gradient norm:

           $ gmic input.bmp gradient_norm

         ## Denoise a color image:

           $ gmic image.jpg denoise 30,10 output denoised.jpg

         ## Compose two images using overlay layer blending:

           $ gmic image1.jpg image2.jpg blend overlay output blended.jpg

         ## Evaluate a mathematical expression:

           $ gmic echo "cos(pi/4)^2+sin(pi/4)^2={cos(pi/4)^2+sin(pi/4)^2}"

         ## Plot a 2D function:

           $  gmic  1000,1,1,2  fill  "X=3*(x-500)/500;X^2*sin(3*X^2)+if(c==0,u(0,-1),cos(X*10))"
       plot

         ## Plot a 3D elevated function in random colors:

           $ gmic 128,128,1,3,"u(0,255)" plasma 10,3 blur 4 sharpen 10000 elevation3d[-1]
         "'X=(x-64)/6;Y=(y-64)/6;100*exp(-(X^2+Y^2)/30)*abs(cos(X)*sin(Y))'"

         ## Plot the isosurface of a 3D volume:

           $     gmic     mode3d     5      moded3d      5      double3d      0      isosurface3d
       "'x^2+y^2+abs(z)^abs(4*cos(x*y*z*3))'",3

         ## Render a G'MIC 3D logo:

           $  gmic  0 text G´MIC,0,0,53,1,1,1,1 expand_xy 10,0 blur 1 normalize 0,100 +plasma 0.4
       add blur 1
         elevation3d -0.1 moded3d 4

         ## Generate a 3D ring of torii:

           $  gmic  repeat  20  torus3d  15,2  color3d[-1]  "{u(60,255)},{u(60,255)},{u(60,255)}"
       *3d[-1] 0.5,1 if
         "{$>%2}"  rotate3d[-1]  0,1,0,90  fi add3d[-1] 70 add3d rotate3d 0,0,1,18 done moded3d 3
       mode3d 5
         double3d 0

         ## Create a vase from a 3D isosurface:

           $ gmic  moded3d  4  isosurface3d  "'x^2+2*abs(y/2)*sin(2*y)^2+z^2-3',0"  sphere3d  1.5
       sub3d[-1] 0,5
         plane3d 15,15 rotate3d[-1] 1,0,0,90 center3d[-1] add3d[-1] 0,3.2 color3d[-1] 180,150,255
         color3d[-2] 128,255,0 color3d[-3] 255,128,0 add3d

         ## Display filtered webcam stream:

           $ gmic apply_camera

         ## Launch a set of interactive demos:

           $ gmic demos
