vrotate(1Vi)vrotate(1Vi)NAME
vrotate - rotate an image
SYNOPSIS
vrotate [-angle angle] [- option ...] [infile] [outfile]
DESCRIPTION
vrotate rotates each input image by the specified angle, producing a file of output images. The rotation is done by first rotating the
image by a multiple of 90 degrees (using flips and transpositions) to an angle nearest to the specified angle, and then by completing the
rotation using Alan Paeth's three-shear method.
Because each pixel in the rotated image is a weighted average of the corresponding pixels in the original image, the set of colors (or gray
shades) used by the original image will not be preserved in the rotated image.
In general, the edges of the rotated image will not be parallel to the vertical and horizontal axes. In such cases, the output image will
be the smallest rectangular region containing the whole rotated image. Portions of the output image not covered by the rotated image will
be filled with zeros.
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
vrotate accepts the following options in any order:
-help Prints a message describing options.
-in infile Specifies a Vista data file containing the input images.
-out outfile Specifies where to write the output images as a Vista data file.
-angle angle Specifies the angle of rotation in degrees. Positive values rotate counterclockwise; negative ones rotate clockwise.
Default: 90.
Input and output files can be specified on the command line or allowed to default to the standard input and output streams.

plaintov - convert image from Vista plain file format to Vista data file
SYNOPSIS
plaintov [-option ...] [infile] [outfile]
DESCRIPTION
plaintov reads an image in Vista plain file format and writes is as a Vista data file.
Plain file format, defined in Vplain(5Vi), allows a small image to be created entirely using a text editor because it represents pixel val-
ues in ASCII. In a Vista data file, those pixel values are encoded in binary.
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
plaintov accepts the following options:
-help Prints a message describing options.
-in infile Specifies the input file, which is in Vista plain file format.
-out outfile Specifies the output file, which will be a Vista data file.
-name name Specifies the name to be given the converted image. Default: ``image''.
Input and output files can be specified on the command line or allowed to default to the standard input and output streams.

Hi, I'm trying to make an odbc connection to a SCO db using Vista, but I'm having some troubles. In the past I have used Vision97 on either windows 98 and XP, but it will not install on Vista. Is there an alternative driver that I can use to make my connection? Any other workaround?
Thanks,

Hi there,
I have a copy of Exceed 7.0, which I use on my Win XP pro machine to get access to the Solaris CDE, but this version will not run on my Vista laptop.
Do I need to get the very latest version of Exceed to run on Vista ? or is there an interim version which I might find on Ebay ?

I have a installed Redhat Linux v5 on a new HP Pavillon PC. It has a dual boot with Vista. Booting from Vista, I can connect to the internet. However with Redhat I cannot connect to the internet.
I looked at the /etc/resolv.conf file in Redhat and there is no DNS entry there. From where do I... (28 Replies)
I need to rotate a pixmap in XLib with some kind of interpolation to reduce the aliasing.
I came up with the following code, which uses bilinear interpolation. It works fine: the rotated image looks perfect, but unfortunately it takes 5 or 6 seconds for each rotation. (in a 300x300, 16 colours... (5 Replies)
