+New driveropts= option "tattoofile=". Use together with -checkdrive
+to write an image of the right size to disk.
+
+ DiskT@2 hints:
+
+ In order to have "DISKTATTOO" listed in the "Driver flags",
+ the disk currently inserted must be usable for the DiskT@2 feature.
+ This means that there needs to be enough space on it.
+
+ You need an B&W image with 3744 pixels per line
+
+ Best start with a 3744 x 320 pixel image.
+ The correct size may be retrieved with
+ wodim driveropts=tattooinfo -checkdrive
+
+ To get RAW image data:
+
+ - Take 'xv' and save the image in PBM/PGM/PPM (raw) mode
+
+ - use a binary aware (must support unlimited linelength)
+ editor such as 'ved' and remove the header lines.
+ These lines look like:
+
+ P5
+ # CREATOR: XV Version 3.10a Rev: 12/29/94 (PNG patch 1.2)
+ # CREATOR: XV Version 3.10a Rev: 12/29/94 (PNG patch 1.2)
+ 3744 144
+ 255
+
+ Now you should have (in case of the file above) a file that
+ has exactly 539136 Bytes.
+
+ - Note that the tattoo image must be left to right flipped
+ (a mirror image).
+
+From a hint from "E. Robert Bogusta" <rob23@tmr.com>:
+
+Take an image, and do:
+
+ djpeg myface.jpg | ppmtopgm | pnmflip -lr |
+ pnmscale -xsi 3744 -ysi 320 | sed '1,/255/d' >myface.tattoo
+
+So:
+ djpeg extracts ppm from a jpeg. Use your favorite other way of getting
+this far is you wish.
+
+ ppmtopgm changes color to grey scale
+
+ pnmflip -lr flips left to right, the small image is faster
+
+ pnmscale makes it 3644x320 regardless of starting size. This may make it
+look really odd on the CD if it doesn't start off the right size. More on
+this after I try it.
+
+ sed strips from the first line to the line containing 255, which is the
+last header line.
+
+Note that it would be better to use the actual height of the applicable image instead
+of the maximum value of 320 and it would be even more correct to create an
+image that has the right width/height ratio for the target on CD in order
+get an undistorted view of the image on CD.
+
+For best visibility, use black text on light background.
