  1. .TH TWEAK 1
  2. .CT 1 graphics
  3. .SH NAME
  4. tweak \- edit image files, subfont files, face files, etc.
  5. .SH SYNOPSIS
  6. .B tweak
  7. [
  8. .I file ...
  9. ]
  10. .SH DESCRIPTION
  11. .I Tweak
  12. edits existing files holding various forms of images.
  13. To create original images, start from an existing image, subfont, etc.
  14. .PP
  15. .I Tweak
  16. reads its argument
  17. .I files
  18. and displays the resulting images in a vertical column.
  19. If the image is too wide to fit across the display, it
  20. is folded much like a long line of text in an
  21. .IR rio
  22. window.
  23. Under each image is displayed one or two lines of text
  24. presenting its parameters.
  25. The first line shows the image's
  26. .BR depth ,
  27. the number
  28. of bits per pixel;
  29. .BR r ,
  30. the rectangle covered by the image;
  31. and the name of the
  32. .B file
  33. from which it was read.
  34. If the file is a subfont, a second line presents a hexadecimal 16-bit
  35. .B offset
  36. to be applied to character values from the subfont
  37. (typically as stored in a font file; see
  38. .IR font (6));
  39. and the subfont's
  40. .BR n ,
  41. .BR height ,
  42. and
  43. .B ascent
  44. as defined in
  45. .IR cachechars (2).
  46. .PP
  47. By means described below, magnified views of portions of the images
  48. may be displayed.
  49. The text associated with such a view includes
  50. .BR mag ,
  51. the magnification.
  52. If the view is of a single character from a subfont, the second
  53. line of text shows the character's value (including the subfont's offset)
  54. in hexadecimal and as a character in
  55. .I tweak's
  56. default font; the character's
  57. .BR x ,
  58. .BR top ,
  59. .BR bottom ,
  60. .BR left ,
  61. and
  62. .BR width
  63. as defined in
  64. .IR cachechars (2);
  65. and
  66. .BR iwidth ,
  67. the physical width of the image in the subfont's image.
  68. .PP
  69. There are two methods to obtain a magnified view of a character from a
  70. subfont.
  71. The first is to click mouse button 1 over the image of the character in
  72. the subfont. The second is to select the
  73. .B char
  74. entry on the button 3 menu,
  75. point the resulting gunsight cursor at the desired subfont and click button 3,
  76. and then type at the text prompt at the bottom of the screen the
  77. character value, either as a multi-digit hexadecimal number or as a single
  78. rune representing the character.
  79. .PP
  80. To magnify a portion of other types of image files,
  81. click button 1 over the unmagnified file.
  82. The cursor will switch to a cross.
  83. Still with button 1, sweep a rectangle, as in
  84. .BR rio ,
  85. that encloses the portion of the image to be magnified.
  86. (If the file is 16×16 or smaller,
  87. .I tweak
  88. will just magnify the entire file; no sweeping is necessary.)
  89. .PP
  90. Pressing buttons 1 and 2 within magnified images changes pixel values.
  91. By default, button 1 sets the pixel to all zeros and button 2 sets the pixel
  92. to all ones.
  93. .PP
  94. Across the top of the screen is a textual display of global parameters.
  95. These values, as well as many of the textual values associated with
  96. the images, may be edited by clicking button 1 on the displayed
  97. value and typing a new value.
  98. The values along the top of the screen are:
  99. .TP
  100. .B mag
  101. Default magnification.
  102. .TP
  103. .B val(hex)
  104. The value used to modify pixels within magnified images.
  105. The value must be in hexadecimal, optionally preceded by a
  106. tilde for bitwise negation.
  107. .TP
  108. .B but1
  109. .TP
  110. .B but2
  111. The pixel value written when the corresponding button is pressed over a pixel.
  112. .TP
  113. .B invert-on-copy
  114. Whether the pixel values are inverted when a
  115. .B copy
  116. operation is performed.
  117. .PP
  118. Under button 3 is a menu holding a variety of functions.
  119. Many of these functions prompt for the image upon which to act
  120. by switching to a gunsight cursor; click button 3 over the
  121. selection, or click a different button to cancel the action.
  122. .TP
  123. .B open
  124. Read and display a file. The name of the file is typed to the prompt
  125. on the bottom line.
  126. .TP
  127. .B read
  128. Reread a file.
  129. .TP
  130. .B write
  131. Write a file.
  132. .TP
  133. .B copy
  134. Use the copy function, default
  135. .BR S ,
  136. to transfer a rectangle of pixels from one image to another.
  137. The program prompts with a cross cursor; sweep out a rectangle in
  138. one image or just click button 3 to select the whole image.
  139. The program will leave that rectangle in place and
  140. attach another one to the cursor. Move that rectangle to the desired
  141. place in any image and click button 3, or another button to cancel the action.
  142. .TP
  143. .B char
  144. As described above, open a magnified view of a character image in a subfont.
  145. .TP
  146. .B pixels
  147. Report the coordinate and value of individual pixels indicated by pressing button 3.
  148. This is a mode of operation canceled by pressing button 1 or 2.
  149. .TP
  150. .B close
  151. Close the specified image.
  152. If the image is the unmagnified file, also close any magnified views of that file.
  153. .TP
  154. .B exit
  155. Quit
  156. .IR tweak .
  157. The program will complain once about modified but unwritten files.

  165. For a program written to adjust width tables in fonts,
  166. .I tweak
  167. has been pushed unreasonably far.
