Hello all,
I've been reading about -crop and image geometry for a few hoursas well as wrestling with the examples, but I can't get this right: I would like to get a fixed-sized crop around a point, even it it goes partially outside the image border. For instance I want a resulting Width and Height of 100, around point (30,60), so a crop that goes from (-20,10) to (80,110). I don't care what it fills the gap with. I've been wrestling with the +/- signs and ! in the geometry expression to no avail.

try

convert image.png -crop 100x100-20+10\! -background lightblue -flatten image_crop_flat.png

see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/crop/#crop_viewport

change the background color to whatever you want

for cropping around a specific center point on alternative is to use a distort with a viewport into the distorted image. distort viewport

for example translate the center point to crop around to origin, then viewport around the origin.

substitute logo: for input image\
388,226 for the center point
show: for the output image
and adjust viewport for size.
