PatchWorks


PatchWorks
Click big!


What's Up? PatchWorks originates in a project work at the FHT Esslingen, 2nd Semester of Software Engineering
PatchWorks reassembles an image with many small images, (patches) creating a photo mosaic.
The movie poster of "The Truman Show" is a well known example.
Another example: PatchWorks Logo

PatchWorks converts collections of images into "databases". The small images ("patches") in this databases are used to create Patchworks (photo mosaics).
Currently (Version 1.5) only truecolor bitmaps (*.bmp) are supported.

PatchWorks is a (win) console program and is controlled via parameters, what makes it usable in Batchfiles / Scripts.
In principal the programm should run for Linux, too. But some file system routines in FileSysHelp.c are not yet adapted. (volunteers welcome ;)
