1. Brightness

   0 = minimum, .5 = normal, 1 = maximum

1. Mode

   0 = Luma, .5 = RGB

The plugin is a visualization of a histogram but using pseudocolor instead of the customary graph. Pixels are colored according to the popularity of their original colors in the input image, such that more common input colors translate to brighter output colors. The effect enhances edges, adds texture, simplifies and drastically alters the palette, and reduces spatial cohesion. In Luma mode, the plugin:

1. Calculates the frame's luma histogram.
2. Replaces each pixel with a greyscale value corresponding to that pixel's rank in the luma histogram. The histogram is normalized so that pixels in the top rank are assigned white in the output, while pixels in lower ranks receive proportionally darker values.

RGB mode is similar, but does the above operations separately for each color channel, resulting in color output instead of greyscale.

1. Mode

   0 = Luma, .25 = RGB, .5 = RGB + Luma, .75 = RGB Overlay

2. Fill

   if non-zero, use fill, else draw lines

3. Erase Bkgnd

   if non-zero, erase background, else background is input video

4. Scale

   vertical scaling: 0 = minimum, 1 = maximum (frame height)

5. Origin

   0 = top, 1 = bottom; ignored if Scale is maximum

6. Line Width

   0 = one pixel, 1 = maximum; only applies to line draw mode

1. Enable

   0 = disabled, non-zero = enabled

1. Mask Mode

   controls input roles: see table below

   #	ch1	ch2	mask

   2	src2	src3	src1
   3	src2	src1	src3
   4	src3	src1	src2
   5	src3	src2	src1

2. Mask Opacity

   opacity of mask: 0 = none, 1 = max

3. Negate Mask

   if non-zero, invert mask input

1. Blend

   alpha mixes between input A and multiply result

2. Invert

   if non-zero, invert input B before multiply

3. Swap

   inputs if non-zero, swap inputs

The plugin looks for text files in the folder "My Documents\TextGen". If there's a text file in My Documents\TextGen called playlist.txt, it's assumed to contain a list of paths to text files; for details, see below. If there's no playlist, any text files (files with the .txt extension) found in My Documents\TextGen are loaded, in alphabetical order. If there's no playlist and no text files are found either, the plugin displays "NO TEXT".

If playlist.txt exists, it's assumed to contain a list of absolute (fully-qualified) paths to other text files. Each line of the playlist should contain exactly one path. Do not enclose paths in quotes, even if they contain spaces. The text files are loaded in the order they appear in the playlist. The playlist method requires more setup, but allows you to link to existing documents instead of copying them to the TextGen folder, and also lets you specify the document order.

Text files may be ASCII or Unicode UTF-16LE (16-bit little-endian). Unicode text files must have the BOM (Byte Order Mark) 0xFF, 0xFE in the first two bytes.

Same as TextGen.
