This tool allows you to scale your graphics with xBRZ algorithm, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_scaling#xbr_family
This is an example of what xBRZ can do:
The following external code is included in this repository:
- https://sourceforge.net/projects/xbrz/files/xBRZ/ - xBRZ implementation
The following dependencies are needed to compile xbrzscale:
- libsdl2-dev
- libsdl2-image-dev
Under OSX they can be installed using macports
- port install libsdl2_image
- port install libsdl2
Some additional libraries are needed. I'm sure you'll figure it out.
If you need SDL1.2 support, check sdl1.2 git branch.
Just run make and you should end up with a binary called xbrzscale.
The makefile will probably work only on linux and OSX, but it is simple enough to be ported to other platforms.
`xbrztool scale_factor input_image output_image`
scale_factor- Controls how much your image should be scaled. It should be an integer between 2 and 5 (inclusive).input_image- Input image is the filename of the image you want to scale. Image format can be anything that SDL_image supports.output_image- Filename where the scaled image should be saved. The only supported format is PNG!
Please note I only tested the scaling on 32bit RGBA PNGs, I have no idea if this will work with 8bit indexed images.
