pe.old/ICONS/ICON.PL
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Take a collection of input image files and convert them into a
# multi-resolution Windows .ICO icon file.
#
# The input images can be treated as having four different colour
# depths:
#
# - 24-bit true colour
# - 8-bit with custom palette
# - 4-bit using the Windows 16-colour palette (see comment below
# for details)
# - 1-bit using black and white only.
#
# The images can be supplied in any input format acceptable to
# ImageMagick, but their actual colour usage must already be
# appropriate for the specified mode; this script will not do any
# substantive conversion. So if an image intended to be used in 4-
# or 1-bit mode contains any colour not in the appropriate fixed
# palette, that's a fatal error; if an image to be used in 8-bit
# mode contains more than 256 distinct colours, that's also a fatal
# error.
#
# Command-line syntax is:
#
# icon.pl -depth imagefile [imagefile...] [-depth imagefile [imagefile...]]
#
# where `-depth' is one of `-24', `-8', `-4' or `-1', and tells the
# script how to treat all the image files given after that option
# until the next depth option. For example, you might execute
#
# icon.pl -24 48x48x24.png 32x32x24.png -8 32x32x8.png -1 monochrome.png
#
# to build an icon file containing two differently sized 24-bit
# images, one 8-bit image and one black and white image.
#
# Windows .ICO files support a 1-bit alpha channel on all these
# image types. That is, any pixel can be either opaque or fully
# transparent, but not partially transparent. The alpha channel is
# separate from the main image data, meaning that `transparent' is
# not required to take up a palette entry. (So an 8-bit image can
# have 256 distinct _opaque_ colours, plus transparent pixels as
# well.) If the input images have alpha channels, they will be used
# to determine which pixels of the icon are transparent, by simple
# quantisation half way up (e.g. in a PNG image with an 8-bit alpha
# channel, alpha values of 00-7F will be mapped to transparent
# pixels, and 80-FF will become opaque).
# The Windows 16-colour palette consists of:
# - the eight corners of the colour cube (000000, 0000FF, 00FF00,
# 00FFFF, FF0000, FF00FF, FFFF00, FFFFFF)
# - dim versions of the seven non-black corners, at 128/255 of the
# brightness (000080, 008000, 008080, 800000, 800080, 808000,
# 808080)
# - light grey at 192/255 of full brightness (C0C0C0).
