NAME

       pixelize - Create an image consisting of many small images

SYNOPSIS

       pixelize [OPTIONS] [image_file]

DESCRIPTION

       pixelize  is  a  program  that  will  use  many scaled down images to try to duplicate, as
       closely as possible, another image.

       pixelize  works by splitting up the image you want rendered (or duplicated) into a grid of
       small  rectangular  areas.  Each  area is  analyzed, and  replaced  with  an  image chosen
       from a large database of images. pixelize tries to pick  images  that  best  matches  each
       area.

       Note:  Before  running  pixelize  you  have  to  create  an image database  (a file called
       pic_db.dat) using the make_db(1) utility.
