<h1>ALE 0.6.0 User Manual</h1>
<h2>Purpose</h2>
<p>This page summarizes ALE program operation and command-line usage.
<p>Manual pages linked from this section describe <a href="file/">file
output</a>, <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>Parameter Meta-syntax</h2>
<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>
<h2>Command-line syntax for Image Processing</h2>
<p>The following command-line invocation can be 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>
<h3>Option Arguments</h3>
<p>Options are outlined in the manual pages describing <a href="file/">file
output</a>, <a href="rendering/">rendering</a> and <a
href="alignment/">alignment</a>.
<h3>Image Files</h3>
<p>ALE can be configured at compile time to use one of two different file
handlers. Execute 'ale --version' to determine which file handler is being
used. The table below outlines the supported formats for each file handler.</p>
<table border>
<tr><th>Version Message</th><th>File Types Supported</th>
<tr><td valign=top>
<pre>File handler: ImageMagick</pre>
</td>
<td>
<p>Input and output files can be any of the <a
href="http://imagemagick.sourceforge.net/www/formats.html">formats</a> supported by
ImageMagick.
</td>
<tr><td valign=top>
<pre>File handler: PPM</pre>
<td>
<p>Input files must be PPM, and output files are written as PPM.
</table>
<p>Note that many external programs, including ImageMagick's <a
href="http://www.imagemagick.org/">command line utilities</a>, can be used to
convert between PPM and other formats.</p>
<p>See the README included in the source distribution for more information about
compile-time configuration of file handlers.</p>
<h2>Command-line syntax for Version Information</h2>
<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: 0.6.0
File handler: ImageMagick
Color data: SINGLE
Coordinate data: SINGLE
DFT: Built-in
Assertions: Disabled
</pre>
<p>The first line of output indicates the version of ALE source code being
used, while the remaining lines reflect the build options selected at compile
time.
<p>For more information about build options, see the README file included in
the source distribution.
<h2>Command-line syntax for Help Output</h2>
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>
