How to ... OptimizePlus

[magick]

We added a patch to ImageMagick 6.3.1-2 Beta to fix the problem your reported. It will be available by tommorrow. The patch permits you to add a parameter to OptimizeLayers() like this:

• $layers = $images->OptimizeLayers(method=>'optimize-plus');

That probabably should be changed to just

Code: Select all

   $layers = $images->Layers(method=>'optimize-plus');

as layers does a lot more than just optimize images. It also compares, and I even plan some future layer composition methods, to compose pairs of images (after a shuffle image sequence operator is added) compose onto static background, and even compose static source, type methods.

Currently the -draw 'image' technique is equivelent to the 'static source' composition method.

These additions were put on hold due to other more pressing happenings.

Hi,
Does PerlMagick 6.3.4 have this feature? It is documented in the PerlMagick manual, but when I do:

Code: Select all

$image->Layers ('method'=>'optimize');

I get the error,

Code: Select all

Usage: Layers(ref) at ./foo.pl line 20
