NAME
      rlezoom - Magnify an RLE file by pixel
      replication.

 SYNOPSIS
      rlezoom factor [ y-factor ] [ -f ] [ -o outfile ] [ infile ]

 DESCRIPTION
      This program magnifies (zooms) an RLE(5) file
      by a floating point factor.  Each pixel in
      the original image becomes a block of pixels
      in the output image.  If no y-factor is
      specified, then the image will be magnified
      by factor equally in both directions.  If y-
      factor is given, then each input pixel
      becomes a block of factor x y-factor pixels
      in the output.  If factor or y-factor is less
      than 1.0, pixels will be dropped from the
      image.  There is no pixel blending performed.
      Input is taken from infile, or from the
      standard input if not specified.  The
      magnified image is written to the standard
      output, or outfile, if specified.

      You should use rlezoom over fant(1) if you
      just want a quick magnification of an image
      with the pixel boundaries showing.  It is
      significantly faster than fant because it
      does no arithmetic on the pixel values.  If
      you need blending between pixels in the
      magnified image, then fant is the correct
      program to use.  Use rlezoom -f factor y-
      factor to produce an image the same size as
      fant -p 0 0 -s factor y-factor for previewing
      purposes.

      Note: due to the way that scanargs(3) parses
      the arguments from the command line, if the
      name of infile is a number, and it is in the
      current directory, you should prefix it with
      "./" so that it will not be confused with
      factor or y-factor.
