20 Reads a portable pixmap as input. Dims every other row of
21 image data down by the specified dim factor. This factor may
22 be in the range of 0.0 (the alternate lines are totally
23 black) to 1.0 (original image).

26 This creates an effect similar to what I've once seen in the
27 video clip 'You could be mine' by Guns'n'Roses. In the scene
28 I'm talking about you can see John Connor on his motorbike,
29 looking up from the water trench (?) he's standing in. While
30 the camera pulls back, the image gets 'normal' by
31 brightening up the alternate rows of it. I thought this
32 would be an interesting effect to try in MPEG. I did not yet
33 check this out, however. Try for yourself.
