DJVUMAKE(1)

NAME
djvumake - Assemble DjVu image files.

SYNOPSIS
djvumake djvufile [chkid=argument]...

DESCRIPTION
Program djvumake assembles a single-page DjVu file djvufile by copying or creating chunks according to the provided arguments. Supported arguments are as follows:

INFO=w,h,dpi
    Create the initial information chunk. Arguments w, h, and dpi describe the width, height and resolution of the image. All arguments may be omitted. The default resolution is 300 dpi. The default width and height will be retrieved from the first mask chunk specified in the command line options.

Sjbz=jb2file
    Create a JB2 foreground mask chunk. File jb2file may contain raw JB2 data, or be a DjVu file containing JB2 data such as those produced by program cjb2.

Smmr=mmrfile
    Create a MMR/G4 foreground mask chunk. File mmrfile may contain raw MMR data or be a DjVu file containing MMR data.

BG44=iw44file[:n]
    Create one or more IW44 background chunks. File iw44file must contain IW44 data. Such files can be obtained by compressing the background image with program c44 and extracting the raw IW44 data using program djvuextract. The optional argument n indicates the number of chunks to copy from the IW44 file. Omitting the number of chunks copies all available chunks.

BGjp=jpegfile
    Create a JPEG encoded background chunk. File jpegfile must contain JPEG encoded data.

BG2k=jpegfile
    Create a JPEG-2000 background chunk. File jpegfile must contain JPEG-2000 encoded data. The DjVu decoder does not yet display files containing JPEG-2000 data.

FGbz=bzzfile
    Create a foreground color chunk describing one solid color for each JB2 encoded mark. File bzzfile is best created by extracting the chunk data from an existing DjVu file using command djvuextract.

FG44=iw44file
    Create a IW44 foreground color chunk. File iw44file must contain IW44 data. Such files can be obtained by compressing the background image with command c44 and extracting the raw IW44 data using program djvuextract. Only the first chunk is copied.

FGjp=jpegfile
    Create a JPEG foreground color chunk.

FG2k=jpegfile
    Create a JPEG-2000 foreground color chunk. The DjVu decoder does not yet display files containing JPEG-2000 data.

INCL=fileid
    Create a DjVu3 include chunk pointing to the component file named fileid. The resulting file should then be included into a multipage document using command djvm.

PPM=ppmfile
    Create a IW44 background chunk and a IW44 foreground color chunk by masking and subsampling the PPM file ppmfile. Assume, for instance, that we have a PPM image myimage.ppm and an identically sized PBM bitonal image mymask.pbm whose black pixels indicate which pixels belong to the foreground. Such a bitonal file might have been obtained by thresholding or color-keying the PPM image. We can then produce a DjVuDocument image using the following two commands:

    cjb2 mymask.pbm mymask.djvu
    djvumake my.djvu Sjbz=mymask.djvu PPM=myimage.ppm

Please refer to the DjVu specification ( http://www.djvuzone.org/djvu/djvu/djvuspec/ ) for more information about the composition of a legal DjVu image file.
