Split image into large tiles?

[mattyrb]

I'm using the following command on a 216 x 8880 image

magick convert frames.png -crop 216x120 tiles/tile%04d.png

Unfortunately it only outputs one image at 216x120.

Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

What version of IM, on what platfom?

If your platfom is Windows BAT, you need to double the %.

version 7.0.8-68 x64. I'm literally running it at command prompt in Windows 10 but it only seems to produce 1 image and not do the entire image?

What is the name of the file it makes? What does identify say about it?

[mattyrb]

The file created is tile000.png it's doing the first 216x120 piece of the image. I get the impression it's just not continuing down the file.

Your command works fine for me, using v7.0.8-64 on Windows 8.1.

I suggest you use "magick", not "magick convert". The usual Windows directory separator is backslash \ not forward-slash /. However, these make no difference for me.

What does identify say about your input frames.png? Please post the text output of "magick identify frames.png".

Try wriing to "info:" as the output filename:

Code: Select all

magick frames.png -crop 216x120 info:

Does the text output show one image, or many images?

How about a new input:

Code: Select all

magick -size 216x8880 xc: -crop 216x120 info:

That command is garbage. Try the commands I showed you.

That's the problem. Your image is 216x8880 but on a virtual canvas of only 216x120 pixels. The cure is to "+repage" after reading the input:

Code: Select all

magick frames.png +repage -crop 216x120 tiles\tile%04d.png

magick frames.png -crop 216x120 tile%03d.png :info
magick: unable to open image 'tile%03d.png': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/3497.

Works perfectly! Thank you so much for your help!
