Using "ImageMagick 7.0.2-1 Q16 x64 2016-06-23" (HDRI, static) on Windows 7 64. I've recently encounterd problems with some "-draw" operations that result some pretty odd behavior. This command... magick ^ -size 1200x1000 ^ xc:lightgreen ^ -stroke darkred ^ -strokewidth 10 ^ -fill...

I'm trying to keep the code portable so as to reduce the config-work required for the end-user. I have a couple IM scripts that use fonts which don't reside on all my computers. I keep the scripts in their own folders, and keep a copy of the OTF or TTF font file right in the same folder. To use the...

Anyone know how I can resolve this problem? Your "dir /b" command returns the file names of the contents of the "%FIRST%" directory, but doesn't include the directory name itself. That makes the "convert" command look for those file names in the current directory, and ...

This will draw a black rectangle on top of the name and it's placed correctly on the first page, but the second page has less white space on the top margin, so the rectangle is slightly below the name. How can I draw the second second for the second, third, "n" page with coordinates sligh...

With IM7 this also works... magick input.png -crop 2x2@ +repage -distort SRT '%[fx:t*90]' \ -background none -extent %[fx:w*2]x%[fx:h*2] +repage -distort SRT '%[fx:t*270]' output%d.png To change the order of the output images you can "-swap" around some images in the stack before the first...

Is there a way to use montage or convert to add a border to my (thumbnail gallery of images) image but only on the top edge? I haven't been able to figure out how to do this on only one side of the resulting image. The examples (and my testing) all indicate that a border will be placed on opposite ...

Hi thanks for the comments. I am using Windows 7 and ImageMagick 7.0.2-8. The problem is that the number of images in each of the two folders to join is different, so i only want to composite two images that share the same filename [...] Bit more difficult than i thought. I still think I'd do somet...

A cure is to put "-alpha off" immediately after you draw the unfilled rectangle. I don't know why the problem occurs, or why this cures it. Thanks. I think I tried "-alpha off" after making the blue square but before the "-draw" operation, and that didn't work. Obvious...

Thanks for the quick reply. When you say limited, could ImageMagick do it if the file names were the identical in each folder? That would make it fairly easy, yep. It would also be pretty simple if a DIR command for both folders output the listing in the order needed for the composites. In other wo...

I'm using "ImageMagick 7.0.1-6 Q16 x64 2016-05-19" (static) on Windows 7 64. I've run into what appears to be a bug in the composite operation when trying to blend an overlay. If I run this command it makes an opaque blue square with a red circle overlaid at 50% opacity as expected... magi...

Using "ImageMagick 7.0.1-9 Q16 x64 2016-06-03" (static) on Windows 7 64, when opening an image file and including a crop specifier in square brackets like this... magick input1.jpg[400x300+30+40] output1.png ... it results in an error that looks like this... magick: unable to open image 'i...

Can you guys explain me what's going on and how to insert my input2.png always at the same place in the original image, after the rotation? As snibgo already mentioned, the volume dial in your background image isn't exactly centered in the canvas. You'll be able to easily rotate and center your ove...

I have a slightly different problem, I would like to append the first image in Folder A with the first image in Folder B. Append the 2nd image in Folder A with the 2nd image in Folder B and repeat the process for all files. Both folders have the same number of images and are of the same size and re...

Hi guys. I want to create sprites file for my site from multiple gifs. Here's my stackoverflow question. Please always provide the version of ImageMagick you're using and let us know what OS you're working on. Those can be very important to steering you toward the correct solution. It's a bit diffi...

Where did you get that pointsize value of 32.25 ? You found the pointsize. I didn't. I forgot to mention: I batch process many images. Every time there's a different random font, I have about 800 fonts. So, each font will have a different final pointsize. The "-interword-spacing" operator...
