 +====== create face.1 ======
 +
 +| The create //face.1// technique does vary\\ between the Boot Camp participants, with\\ some examples used more than others. |
 +
 +|x| A white background will look like a transparent background, after the install. |
 +
 +Adding a face:
 +
 +<code>
 +
 +cpu% jpg -c myface.jpg  | iconv -c m8 | resample -x 48 -y 48 > myface.1
 +</code>
 +
 +<code>
 +
 +cpu% png -c myface.png  | iconv -c m8 | resample -x 48 -y 48 > myface.1
 +</code>
 +
 +<code>
 +
 +cpu% jpg -c myface.jpg  | resample -x 100 | crop -b 255 255 255 -i -30 | mug > myface.1
 +</code>
 +
 +|An optional example:|''<nowiki>jpg -c myface.jpg  | iconv -c k4 | resample -x 48 -y 48 > myface.1</nowiki>''|
 +
 +|x|Adding your face|https://9p.io/wiki/plan9/adding_your_face/index.html|
 +|x|Review //''mug'' ((The use of //''mug''// may call for the command //''broke''// ; ''man broke''.))//| ''cpu% jpg -c myface.jpg | mug > myface.1''|
 +|x|  //''gif -c''//  |http://man.9front.org/1/jpg|
 +|x|  //''png -c''//  |http://man.9front.org/1/jpg|
 +| |  //**''-c''** Convert the image to a Plan 9 representation, as defined by image(6), and write it to standard output.//  |"|
 +
 +|x|  //''crop''//  |crop, iconv - frame, crop, and convert image|http://man.9front.org/1/crop|
 +| |  //''crop''//  |//There are two ways to specify a crop, by color value or by geometry.//|"|
 +|x|  //''resize''//  |resample, resize - resample a picture|http://man.9front.org/1/resample|
 +|x|  //''rotate''//  |rotate - rotate or mirror a picture|http://man.9front.org/1/rotate|
 +
 +|x|  //''paint''//  |paint - create image files by drawing with a mouse or other pointing device|http://man.9front.org/1/paint|

 +
 +===== quality control =====
 +
 +Check the results with ''tweak'':
 +
 +<code>
 +
 +cpu% tweak myface.1
 +</code>
 +
 +Check the classification with ''file'':
 +
 +<code>
 +
 +cpu% file myface.1
 +</code>
 +
 +^ Example 48x48 output ^
 +| ''cpu% file /usr/$user/lib/face/$user.1'' |
 +| ''$user.1: //Compressed plan 9 image or subfont, depth 8, size 48x48//'' |
 +
 +Check the results with ''page'':
 +
 +<code>
 +
 +cpu% page myface.1
 +</code>
 +
 +===== 9p face install =====
 +
 +|**1.**|If //myface.1// looks good, install it as ''$home/lib/face/$user.1''|
 +|//a.//|copy //''$user.1''// to the //''$home/lib/face''// directory.|
 +
 +<code>
 +
 +cpu% mkdir $home/lib/face
 +</code>
 +
 +|**2.**|Run //faceoff//. The //faceoff// updates are queued.|
 +
 +<code>
 +
 +cpu% faceoff
 +</code>
 +
 +^ Example .dict format ^
 +|''9p.sdf.org/$user $user.1''|
 +|''sdf.org/$user $user.1''|
 +
 +===== face location =====
 +
 +This is a people face, __example only__:
 +
 +<code>
 +
 +cpu% jpg -c USER.jpg  | resample -x 100 | crop -b 255 255 255 -i -30 | mug > /lib/face/people/USER.1
 +</code>
 +
 +This is a domains face, __example only__:
 +
 +<code>
 +
 +cpu% jpg -c sdf.jpg  | resample -x 100 | crop -b 255 255 255 -i -30 | mug > /lib/face/domains/sdf.org.1
 +</code>
