Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hi all,

I made a shell script of almost 300 lines that create images using ImageMagick.
I run this script on a Debian Linux system.
My first line is : #!/bin/bash

Everything works well when I launch the script with the command line : sh myscript.sh arg
But if I lauch the script without sh it cast an error on a -distort function:
./myscript.sh arg
convert-im6.q16: invalid argument for option Perspective : 'require at least 4 CPs' @ error/distort.c/GenerateCoefficients/791.

The lines of the -distort call : The values for the variables h, w, hgt and hgb are the same when I launch the script with or without sh.

Any idea on what I could do to fix the problem when I'm lauching the script without sh ?

Thanks !

Linux systems need the parentheses escaped; try changing rgba(0,0,0,0) to rgba\(0,0,0,0\)

Also I would try your code with fixed data rather than variables to prove it works.

Thanks Bonzo, but it's not that and it cast one more error :
convert-im6.q16: unrecognized color `rgba\(0,0,0,0)\'

But...THANKS !
I followed your advise, I managed to replace variables by legit values and...while editing the line I seen where was the problem... ${0} really ?
Damn...I rod this line so many times and I did not see it before !

Fixed ! \o/

That often happens to me as well - overlook the obvious. Thanks for posting you answer.
