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
Mabe some additional libraries are needed. I'm sure you'll figure it out.
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.
