Special crop and resize

[mattalexx]

I wrote down what I need to accomplish and scanned it in:



So I would provide width of the square (25) and the command would take care of the rest.

It would be cool if I could do the whole thing in one command. Is that possible?

How are you going to know what the shortest side is ?

Code: Select all

convert input.jpg -gravity center -crop 25x25+0+0 output.jpg

I was hoping the command would figure it out.

Code: Select all

convert input.jpg -gravity center -crop 25x25+0+0 output.jpg

This is cropping which is cool, but I need the image to be resized also so that the shortest side is 25 pixels,

What does this give you?

Code: Select all

convert output.jpg -resize 25x25^ -gravity center -crop 25x25+0+0 result.jpg

See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... p#geometry

Code: Select all

convert output.jpg -resize 25x25^ -gravity center -crop 25x25+0+0 result.jpg

See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... p#geometry

Code: Select all

convert: invalid argument for option `25x25^': -resize.

How are you running the code - command line, php etc.

Damn -- one point off! I wish there were some way to upgrade IM on my client's production server. But alas, there is not.

Am I SOL?

Not completely out of luck. You can script it easy enough. I already have one called squareup at http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/index.html.

I wrote the script before the ^ notation was available for -resize.

That looks great! Thank you.
