The second is to select the +.B char +entry on the button 3 menu, +point the resulting gunsight cursor at the desired subfont and click button 3, +and then type at the text prompt at the bottom of the screen the +character value, either as a multi-digit hexadecimal number or as a single +rune representing the character. +.PP +To magnify a portion of other types of image files, +click button 1 over the unmagnified file. +The cursor will switch to a cross. +Still with button 1, sweep a rectangle, as in +.BR rio , +that encloses the portion of the image to be magnified. +(If the file is 16×16 or smaller, +.I tweak +will just magnify the entire file; no sweeping is necessary.) +.PP +Pressing buttons 1 and 2 within magnified images changes pixel values. +By default, button 1 sets the pixel to all zeros and button 2 sets the pixel +to all ones. +.PP +Across the top of the screen is a textual display of global parameters. +These values, as well as many of the textual values associated with +the images, may be edited by clicking button 1 on the displayed +value and typing a new value. +The values along the top of the screen are: +.TP +.B mag +Default magnification. +.TP +.B val(hex) +The value used to modify pixels within magnified images. +The value must be in hexadecimal, optionally preceded by a +tilde for bitwise negation. +.TP +.B but1 +.TP +.B but2 +The pixel value written when the corresponding button is pressed over a pixel. +.TP +.B invert-on-copy +Whether the pixel values are inverted when a +.B copy +operation is performed. +.PP +Under button 3 is a menu holding a variety of functions. +Many of these functions prompt for the image upon which to act +by switching to a gunsight cursor; click button 3 over the +selection, or click a different button to cancel the action. +.TP +.B open +Read and display a file. The name of the file is typed to the prompt +on the bottom line. +.TP +.B read +Reread a file. +.TP +.B write +Write a file. +.TP +.B copy +Use the copy function, default +.BR S , +to transfer a rectangle of pixels from one image to another. +The program prompts with a cross cursor; sweep out a rectangle in +one image or just click button 3 to select the whole image. +The program will leave that rectangle in place and +attach another one to the cursor. Move that rectangle to the desired +place in any image and click button 3, or another button to cancel the action. +.TP +.B char +As described above, open a magnified view of a character image in a subfont. +.TP +.B pixels +Report the coordinate and value of individual pixels indicated by pressing button 3. +This is a mode of operation canceled by pressing button 1 or 2. +.TP +.B close +Close the specified image. +If the image is the unmagnified file, also close any magnified views of that file. +.TP +.B exit +Quit +.IR tweak . +The program will complain once about modified but unwritten files. +.SH SOURCE +.B /usr/local/plan9/src/cmd/draw/tweak.c +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IR cachechars (3), +.IR image (7), +.IR font (7) +.SH BUGS +For a program written to adjust width tables in fonts, +.I tweak +has been pushed unreasonably far. |
