pixelfloot

an very simple and dirty pixelflut client to draw images. pixelfloot was built during the 37c3. in its actual state, its just a mess. I hope i will find time to put it in a more usable and readable format.

image format

you need an uncompress ppm image at first. it is not allowed to be larger then 200px.

convert it like so: convert lol.jpg -compress none -resize 200x200 lol.ppm

after you have converted it to ppm, you need to convert it to a "pixel-list". do it with ./pixelfloot_bash.sh convertimg lol

Have a look to the example .pixlist files

examples

Display image: ./pixelfloot_bash.sh floot lol

image random position: SHUFMODE=chaos ./pixelfloot_bash.sh floot lol

image shake position: SHUFMODE=shake ./pixelfloot_bash.sh floot lol

move image with your cursor (needs xdotool): SHUFMODE=cursor ./pixelfloot_bash.sh floot lol

Use a color as "alpha" (remove background): ./pixelfloot_bash.sh floot lol FF00FF

Use the cursor image as cursor SHUFMODE=cursor ./pixelfloot_bash.sh floot cursor FF00FF
