Re: rotating a label

thanks for replying, fmw42. that doesn't seem to be quite it, either. what it looks like is happening is the overlay image is being rotated/translated within an invisible bounding box of the same dimensions as its unrotated image, so while the overlay is definitely being rotated, its edges are cropp...

magick wand -- better than imagick?

hello, i've developed an application using imagick that resizes and resamples large images. unfortunately, due to the way imagick works, resizing and/or resampling creates huuuuge work files in /tmp that crash the system because /tmp actually fills up. i'm not sure if these are scratch files or dump...

imagick filling /tmp
