Get and save color components

The red, green, and blue values for the same pixel location in each of the pictures are obtained and saved.

Compute a new set of color values

A new set of red, green, and blue color values are computed as the sum of scaled versions of the pixel colors from the rabbit image pixel and the penguinimage pixel.

The nature of the scaling

The scaling is such that the pixel colors from the rabbit image contribute most heavily to output pixels to the left of center and pixel colors from thepenguin image contribute most heavily to output pixels to the right of center.

You can see the effect of this scaling algorithm in Figure 3 .

The pixels in the horizontal center

The pixels along a vertical line at the center of the output image contain equal contributions of colors from both images.

End of discussion

That concludes the explanation of the code in this program.

You can view the drawSun and crop methods in Listing 6 near the end of the module.

Run the program

I encourage you to copy the code from Listing 6 . Compile the code and execute it. Experiment with the code, making changes, andobserving the results of your changes. Make certain that you can explain why your changes behave as they do.

what are pathogens
Don Reply
In biology, a pathogen (Greek: πάθος pathos "suffering", "passion" and -γενής -genēs "producer of") in the oldest and broadest sense, is anything that can produce disease. A pathogen may also be referred to as an infectious agent, or simply a germ. The term pathogen came into use in the 1880s.[1][2
