Re: feature request: <include> in ~/.magick/type.xml

Yes that works. Will you consider supporting absolute paths too, in the future?

Thank you.

feature request: <include> in ~/.magick/type.xml

Hello, I have found by experimentation that <include> tags don't work in my ~/.magick/type.xml. It would be a convenience to me if this was supported. I have a large collection of fonts, split up into several different directories. In each of these directories, I have created a type.xml with font de...

Re: ImageMagick version 7 wish list

This may also involve a rename of "convert" to a more generic name such as "magick" which will not have conflicts on the window system. "convert" could be just a symbolic link to "magick". I would humbly suggest doing away with the command name `convert' alto...

Re: centered append

Yes, it has been fixed. So in IM 6.4.6-8, if one knows the height of largest image, one can do: convert -size 50x50 xc:green1 -size 100x100 xc:red -size 30x30 xc:blue \ -gravity center -background none -extent x100 \ +append tmp.png and get center justified horizontal appending. Excellent. Thank you.

Re: centered append

Append and image array generation in various layouts is something that IM should have more development on. For example append justification, and methods to 'fill line-by-line to a certain width' a bit like 'caption:' does for words. Also other 'packing' styles of filling a page. See IM examples fut...

Re: centered append

Perhaps my use of -gravity was a fluke that worked only in the horizontal mode. That seems to be the case. Strictly speaking -gravity east was unnecessary in this example, but both north and south work as expected while tiling horizontally. we are trying to understand why vertical montage with hori...

Re: centered append

This reproduces your image goal: montage -size 100x100 xc:red -size 30x30 xc:blue -background none -geometry +0+0 -gravity east -tile x1 tmp.png Many thanks. But now the question changes because this pattern does not seem applicable to achieve centered vertical appends: montage -size 100x100 xc:red...

centered append

There may be a documentation bug at: http://imagemagick.org/Usage/montage/#append . It says the following: Montage can use use for appending images with centering, without gaps between the images . montage -geometry '1x1+0+0<' -size 100x100 xc:red -size 30x30 xc:blue x: http://jjfoerch.com/bitbucket...

white-threshold

With imagemagick 6.4.6 on a Debian system, the following command results in a black canvas. White-threshold seems to do the opposite of what the documentation says---or is there something I am missing? convert -size 100x100 xc:'rgb(200,200,200)' -white-threshold 199 x: By the way, it would be nice i...

Re: +clone and parens

Even though +clone works without parenthesis, do not use it that way. If you later add parenthesis around your set of operations to use it as a sub-set of a more complex set, you will get in to trouble. It is was never ment to be used without parenthesis! It was created to pull in images into a sub...

Re: +clone and parens

This is what Anthony's clone notes say: Note that "-clone" without the use of parenthesis will just copy images from the current image sequence and directly append them. However this is not its intended use and is to be discouraged as it will produce a different result if you later surrou...
