quantize

Color quantization. Specifies color-quantization attributes for GIF output conversion.

quantize= *type*[, *dither*[, *numColors*[, *colorList*]]]

type

{adaptive|web|mac} palette type

Select ' web ' or ' mac ' to choose a predefined palette, or set to ' adaptive ' to calculate an optimal palette for the image.

dither

{diffuse|off} dithering options

Select 'diffuse' for Floyd-Steinberg error diffusion or 'off' to disable dithering.

numColors

Number of output colors (integer) included in the ' adaptive ' palette.

numColors must be between 2 and 256.

colorList

Comma-separated list of forced RGB colors in hex6 format. Allows you to specify forced colors to be included in an ' adaptive ' palette. If the number of colors specified is less than numColors , additional colors are calculated based on the image content.

Used only if fmt=gif or fmt=gif-alpha . Ignored otherwise. The colors specified with colorList must be RGB values in hex6 format (see color ); no other color specifiers are permitted.

Default

quantize=adaptive,diffuse,256

Example

Generate a GIF thumbnail using the ’ web’ palette and no dithering:

http://server/myRootId/myImageId?req=tmb&fmt=gif&quantize=web,off

Convert image to a bi-tonal GIF with key-color transparency and force colors to black and white:

http://server/is/agm/myRootId/myImageId?fmt=gif-alpha&wid=100&quantize=adaptive,off,2,000000,ffffff
