<h1>ALE 0.5.1 User Manual</h1>
<h2>Purpose</h2>
<p>This page summarizes ALE program operation and command-line usage. <!-- A list
of relevant URLs is provided at the end. -->
<p>Other manual pages in this section describe <a
href="rendering/">rendering</a> and <a href="alignment/">alignment</a>.
<p>For more information on ALE, see the <a
href="http://auricle.dyndns.org/ALE/">ALE Home Page</a>.
<h2>Program Operation and Usage</h2>
<h3>Parameter Meta-syntax</h3>
<table >
<tr>
<td><code>&nbsp;&lt;foo></code></td>
<td>A required parameter called <i>foo</i>.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>[&lt;foo>]</code></td>
<td>An optional parameter called <i>foo</i>.
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>[&lt;foo>]*</code></td>
<td>Zero or more parameters <i>foo</i>.
</tr>
</table>
<h3>Command-line syntax for Version Information</h3>
<p>The following command-line invocation can be used to print version
information and build options:
<pre>ale --version</pre>
The following is sample output from this invocation:
<pre>
ALE Version: 0.5.1
File handler: ImageMagick
Bits per channel: 8
</pre>
The above output indicates that the ALE version is 0.5.1, that ImageMagick is
being used to handle image files, and that a 24-bit color space is being used.
<h3>Command-line syntax for Help Output</h3>
When invoked with no options, or options detected as incorrect, ALE outputs a
help message specifying command-line usage and available options. The following
is a sample invocation:
<pre>ale</pre>
<h3>Command-line syntax for Image Processing</h3>
<p>The following is the normal command-line invocation for ALE, and is used to
process a series of frames into an output file:
<pre>ale [&lt;option>]* &lt;original-frame> [&lt;supplemental-frame>]* &lt;output-file></pre>
<p>The original-frame parameter, and each supplemental-frame parameter, should
match the filename of an image file. Output will be written to the output file
specified.
<p>Depending on compile options, the file handler used may be ImageMagick or an
internal PPM file handler (use the --version flag to check this). When
ImageMagick is used for file handling, input files can be any of the <a
href="http://imagemagick.sourceforge.net/www/formats.html">types</a> that
ImageMagick can handle, and the output file type should be specified by file
extension. The internal PPM file handler can be used to read and write PPM
files only. However, on many platforms, ImageMagick's <a
href="http://www.imagemagick.org/">command line utilties</a> can be used to
convert between PPM and other file formats.
<p>Options are outlined in the <a href="rendering/">rendering</a> and <a
href="alignment/">alignment</a> subsections.
