I'm trying to draw a rectangle with a variable strokewidth using a percent escape like this (win bat-file formated, therefore the double %-signs): It doesn't work, the rectangle gets a width of 1 pixel regardless the height of the source image. I suppose -strokewidth doesn’t support percent escapes. Is there Another way of accomplishing this?

Code: Select all

Your example code shows your FX expression as "%%[fx:h*0,03]". It seems you should replace that comma "," with a decimal point ".". Also, unless you're using that "%%[tjock]" variable somewhere else in the command, you should be able to run it directly where you're using it like "-strokewidth %%[fx:h*0.03]".

Thanks, it's always the commas or semicolons that screws up the code . The comma is used in Sweden instead of the decimal point for decimal indication, which I sometimes forgets.
BTW, the parameter is used elsewhere, I just didn't copy the whole code.

These two commands (Windows CMD syntax) will check the decimal marker: I'm in the UK, so the second version with "." (point) works for me.

In some countries, I suppose the first version "," (comma) would work.

"-bordercolor black" is superfluous.

Perhaps you also need "-fill None" so your rectangle is not filled.
