#+END_EXAMPLE
2020-09-12 17:35:50 +03:00
All image operations are called in order of the help file.
E.g. pixelate (=-P=) is called after adding lines (=-l=).
2020-09-12 17:25:52 +03:00
2020-09-12 17:35:50 +03:00
If you set the color via =-c= it is not guaranteed, that it is included in the huepaper.
Colors, similar to the given one are chosen.
You can specify how far the colors differ in the hue range with the =-hue= parameter.
2020-09-13 16:33:20 +03:00
Valid color expressions are e.g. =#F5F5DC=, =#0f0= and =red=.
2020-09-12 17:35:50 +03:00
Make sure, that colors beginning with a =#= are encapsulated in quotes (="=).
All supported color names can be seen

[[https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_names.asp][here]].
2020-09-12 17:35:50 +03:00
If you use the =-e= argument to specify an emblem, make sure it has the correct size.
It is not scaled or stretched, just placed in the center of the image.
If you want an offset, e.g. put it in the left bottom corner, provide an emblem file with the size of the huepaper, transparent background and your emblem in the bottom left corner.

Please note, that every huepaper call generates a new random image.
You will never get the same huepaper twice.
You may like some and dislike others.
Fiddle around with the options to find a result, you are happy with.
