Re: Some help pls w/ command line text lables
I doubt that you need pango. "-annotate" may be best; see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/#annotate and the rest of that page. You will use "-resize" to resize your png image, and probably "-border" to add borders. "-append" may also be useful. For the o...

Re: Some help pls w/ command line text lables
That looks simple enough. I'd start by building it up the code, piece by piece. How far have you got already? Anything you don't understand? Or do you want someone to do it all for you?

Re: enable 0r disable OpenMP
On a Windows 7 laptop with two cores, IM with OpenMP, I find that simple converts taking under a second work faster with threads limited to 1. Longer jobs run faster without limiting threads.

Re: Overlay SVG image onto JPEG (watermark)
The converted SVG image has no transparency because, by defalt, IM puts it on an opaque white background. Defeat this by putting "-background none" before the SVG file. The only transparency occurs in the top corners. You might choose a different "-compose" operation. Perhaps &qu...

Re: How to just rename each image in a folder
It's a scripting problem, using whatever command your shell uses to rename files. The hardest part is probably inventing the new names, ensuring they don't already exist. Quite simple in Windows, as files also have 8.3 names (at least, up to Windows 7; I don't know about Windows 8 ).

Re: How to just rename each image in a folder
ImageMagick reads images and writes them. It would be highly inefficient to do this when you just want to rename them.

Re: Using Registration Marks To Crop?
If forms have different barcodes, finding them is a messy problem. It's much easier to find something that is invariant between the forms.
You can also use registration marks to detect whether, for example, a scanned form is inverted.

Re: Do i need all 50 MB of ImageMagick?
For the smallest footprint that includes all the tools (convert, identify, compare, etc), the dll version will be smaller than the static version because code that is shared between the tools won't be duplicated.

Re: Using Registration Marks To Crop?
Printing your own registration marks seems the obvious route. They need to be different to anything else on the form. You can then subimage-search for the marks, distort and crop. Searching can take a long time, but two techniques improve performance: (a) search small (cropped) areas of the form and...

Re: Problem when convert from PDF to JPG on 64bit OS
A more recent IM and Ghostscript fails on that PDF file.
A reasonably current Adobe Reader X v10.1.7 can't read it either.

Re: enable 0r disable OpenMP
I know nothing about Mac or threads, but "-limit threads 1" might do what you want. See references to "thread" on http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... ptions.php

Re: Masking Path problem with some IM versions
Reading posts on these forums about "unassociated" makes me strongly suspect this is the difference. Modern versions of IM can: identify -quiet -format "%[tiff:alpha]" transparent.tif This returns nothing or "associated" or "unassociated". You may find that te...

Re: Masking Path problem with some IM versions
How could I know if I have to add "-alpha off" for a picture and not for a simple file where I'd like to keep the transparency. For some files, the alpha is important and you want to keep it. For others, like this one, you want to remove it. You need to find what chacteristic determines w...
