It makes more logical sense to group your first commands and then clone, so the clone sees the result of the command not the input plasma image convert \( -size 100x100 plasma: -swirl 200 \) +clone +append x: So this should work fine. Since operators have left-associativity in convert, no grouping ...

This is a use-case for +clone in which I do not need to do further processing on the clone, hence there is no logical call for the grouping construct.

Hello, I found that the +clone operator does not behave as I would expect when not enclosed in parens. I would expect the result of the first command given below to be similar to that of the second, where the right-hand clone is also swirled. I was surprised because this behavior seems to break with...

I can only guess that you are running an old PerlMagick.

You want Extent.

One solution in the mean time is to use a blur value that is say 0.00001 then 1.00001 etc in your sequence! The blur 0 is really a no-op but generally causes a error as it is also mathematically non-sensical. The shadow code for example had to have a 'short-circuit' to not do a blur when the shadow...

NOTE: without a gravity, or some other appropriate offset the text is drawn. but with the 'baseline start point' at 0,0. Which mean only the bottom of the comma will probably be visible!!!!!! Try adding a +20+20 offset if you what to turn off gravity! Ah yes, that was it. Thanks. As per ghostscript...

Gravity is only a specification of what the offset means. That is all. See Text Positioning with Gravity http://imagemagick.org/Usage/annotating/#text_gravity Perhaps I am observing a bug then. In the following program, if I remove the gravity from the Annotate, no text is drawn. #! /usr/bin/perl u...

Thanks!

Hi. I'm unable to get Spread to vary with different values for the `amount' parameter. No matter what number I pass as the amount, the spread always appears to be about 4 pixels. Any ideas? Sample code follows. Thank you. #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Image::Magick; my $image = Image...

• ./configure --without-perl
  make install

or

• ./configure --enable-shared
  make install

Thank you. Both of those ways worked. I'm using PerlMagick so I went with the second way.

Hi, can someone help me diagnose the following problem? I `./configure' then `make'. Make produces the following error when it gets to the perlmagick compilation. make[3]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/libperl.a', needed by `PerlMagick'. Stop. make[3]: Leaving directory `/mydoc/src/ImageMagic...

Thank you!

I found that giving Wave a 0 wavelength also results in a black canvas. The special case would probably be appropriate there, too.

$image->Annotate(font=>'Helvetica', pointsize=>12, text=>$text, x=>10, y=>30);

fails to draw text on a image.

I found that I have to give Annotate a gravity setting like gravity=>'north'. try that.

Hi, I'm generating an animation in which I want to vary the amount of certain effects across frames, where some frames will be unaffected. I found that passing a sigma of 0 to GaussianBlur results in a black canvas, so I have to stop blurring at some small nonzero value. This means I can't quite get...
