Can myImage.display() not halt the execution of the program?

[huelter]

Hi.

I am wondering if there is a way for ImageMagick to continue program execution after calling display()? The window has to be closed for the program to continue at the moment.

What I want to do is to display an image, modify it, and redraw the image on the same window. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Code: Select all

convert image show:

will allow execution to continue on Unix systems. But I do not know if you can rewrite to the open window.

See http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/files/#show

Thank you for replying.

That command does allow execution, but I can't redraw on it. Should I request a feature?

Edit: I found a way using

Code: Select all

display -remote image &
