PerlMagick/demo/pixel_fx.pl

#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# Example of modifying all the pixels in an image (like -fx).
#
# Currently this is slow as each pixel is being lokedup one pixel at a time.
# The better technique of extracting and modifing a whole row of pixels at
# a time has not been figured out, though perl functions have been provided
# for this.
#
# Also access and controls for Area Re-sampling (EWA), beyond single pixel
# lookup (interpolated unscaled lookup), is also not available at this time.
