1New driveropts= option "tattoofile=". Use together with -checkdrive 2to write an image of the right size to disk. 3 4 DiskT@2 hints: 5 6 In order to have "DISKTATTOO" listed in the "Driver flags", 7 the disk currently inserted must be usable for the DiskT@2 feature. 8 This means that there needs to be enough space on it. 9 10 You need an B&W image with 3744 pixels per line 11 12 Best start with a 3744 x 320 pixel image. 13 The correct size may be retrieved with 14 cdrecord driveropts=tattooinfo -checkdrive 15 16 To get RAW image data: 17 18 - Take 'xv' and save the image in PBM/PGM/PPM (raw) mode 19 20 - use a binary aware (must support unlimited linelength) 21 editor such as 'ved' and remove the header lines. 22 These lines look like: 23 24 P5 25 # CREATOR: XV Version 3.10a Rev: 12/29/94 (PNG patch 1.2) 26 # CREATOR: XV Version 3.10a Rev: 12/29/94 (PNG patch 1.2) 27 3744 144 28 255 29 30 Now you should have (in case of the file above) a file that 31 has exactly 539136 Bytes. 32 33 - Note that the tattoo image must be left to right flipped 34 (a mirror image). 35 36From a hint from "E. Robert Bogusta" <rob23@tmr.com>: 37 38Take an image, and do: 39 40 djpeg myface.jpg | ppmtopgm | pnmflip -lr | 41 pnmscale -xsi 3744 -ysi 320 | sed '1,/255/d' >myface.tattoo 42 43So: 44 djpeg extracts ppm from a jpeg. Use your favorite other way of getting 45this far is you wish. 46 47 ppmtopgm changes color to grey scale 48 49 pnmflip -lr flips left to right, the small image is faster 50 51 pnmscale makes it 3644x320 regardless of starting size. This may make it 52look really odd on the CD if it doesn't start off the right size. More on 53this after I try it. 54 55 sed strips from the first line to the line containing 255, which is the 56last header line. 57 58Note that it would be better to use the actual height of the applicable image instead 59of the maximum value of 320 and it would be even more correct to create an 60image that has the right width/height ratio for the target on CD in order 61get an undistorted view of the image on CD. 62 63For best visibility, use black text on light background. 64
