====== 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|  //''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|
|x|  //''tweak''//  |tweak - edit image files, subfont files, face files, etc.|http://man.9front.org/1/tweak|
| | //''tweak''// | //Report the coordinate and value of individual pixels indicated by pressing button 3.//|"|

===== 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>

examples (in another format):

<code>

cpu% cd /lib/face/48x48x1
cpu% page .dict
</code>

===== faces -i =====

|x|  FACES -I:  | ''faces [ -ihc ] [ -m maildir ]'' |http://man.9front.org/1/faces|

<code>

cpu% faces -i

Create the //''<nowiki>/</nowiki>mail<nowiki>/</nowiki>box<nowiki>/</nowiki>$user''// with ''<nowiki>'</nowiki>mail -c<nowiki>'</nowiki>''. This is only necessary once; it creates the $user mbox.

<code>

cpu% mail -c

Note: manually editing the //''/mail/box/$user''// files may interfere with //''qer''//.

9p mail reference:

Start acme to access the mbox.
