.TH IM_BUILDLUT 3 "June 2006"
.SH NAME
im_buildlut \- build a LUT from a set of x/y points
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <vips/vips.h>
int
.br
im_buildlut( DOUBLEMASK *input, IMAGE *output )
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B im_buildlut(3)
constructs a LUT, interpolating a set of x/y points. Interpolation is strictly
piecewise linear. For example, if the input is:
0 0
128 20
255 100
we generate the values:
index value
0 0
1 0.01
.. etc. linear interpolation
128 20
129 20.5
.. etc. linear interpolation
255 100
(we don't generate the index column, that's just there to show the
position in the table)
The x/y points don't need to be
sorted: we do that. You can have several Ys: each becomes a band in the
output LUT. X can start at any integer value, including negatives.
.SH RETURN VALUE
-1 on error, otherwise 0
