request enhancement to -evaluate log IM 6.8.1.3 Q16

IM 6.8.1.3 Q16 Mac OSX Snow Leopard

When convenient, would it be possible to fix -evaluate so that it recognizes scientific notation for values.

In my script, spectrum, I compute an argument that may be larger than 1000000 (1 million) using %[fx:...] and it generates a value in scientific notation for anything above 1 million, such as 1e+8. But -evaluate log 1e+8 errors regarding the scientific notation. I tried adding -precision 10 in the fx computation, but it did no good, as I expect it only controls the fractional part of the number.

If there is a setting that I can use already to make %[fx:...] not use scientific notation, please let me know and I will modify my script appropriately.

Thanks

Look for a patch in ImageMagick 6.8.1-4 Beta by sometime tomorrow. Thanks.

I just downloaded and installed 6.8.1-4 Q16 Mac OSX Snow Leopard.

Perhaps the patch did not make it into the release, otherwise, I think there is a bug.

This works:



convert square31.png -fft +delete -auto-level -evaluate log 100000000 miff:- | convert - show:

But this fails:

convert square31.png -fft +delete -auto-level -evaluate log 1e+8 miff:- | convert - show:

convert: invalid argument for option `-evaluate': 1e+8 @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/1406.
convert: no decode delegate for this image format `/var/tmp/magick-53191DuaSjmhuFsyA' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/550.

Thanks. It works correctly now in IM 6.8.1.5 Q16 Mac OSX Snow Leopard
