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.
