Usage

General

$ python rgca.py examples/sample/star-white-clipart.jpg examples/sample/seeds

runs with threshold (-t) of 0.5 and with number of iterations (-i) of 50 as default

From terminals

$ python rgca.py examples/sample/star-white-clipart.jpg examples/sample/seeds -t 0.7 -i 75

reads examples/sample/star-white-clipart.jpg from sample folder with seeds given in an utf-8 encoded file as like examples/sample/seeds with threshold of 0.7 and number of iterations as 75

Seeds are be of assumed format

n1,n2
n3,n4

Run

$ python rgca.py -h
