"BR"

for Bottom Right

"B"

for Bottom

"BL"

for Bottom Left

"L"

The compass directions may be use as synonyms for the above directions, so for example "NE" is equal to "TR".

-c R G B

What to use as the primary background color to scale. This color is scaled between the minimum intensity (min) and maximum intensity (max) from one end of the screen to the other as defined by dir. See below (-m & -M) for min & max. Default is Blue (0, 0, 255).

-m min

Minimum intensity (in percent) to scale color. Default 10%

[-M max

Maximum intensity (in percent) to scale color. Default 100%

-s W H

Size of image to create. Default 640 by 350.

-h

Print one line of command line help, similar to Usage above.

If min == max = 100 (%) and lvls == 2 then boolean mask image of specified size will be created - all foreground. This can be used as a square mask for the m[blue]gifcomb.htmlm[]gifcomb utility.
