hi,
I have a black and white image of arbitrary dimension.
I want to add curly bracket kind of border to it on all sides.
How should I go about it ?
I am looking for command line approach in which I can fill in image dimension.
Thanks .

Any way you want. Do you have an image for the "curly bracket kind of border"? If not, you'll need to create one. This might be a small part of the required border that is then tiled, perhaps mirror-imaging alternate tiles. Use as many tiles as you need for each side. To get good mitred corners, use an integer number of tiles on all sides.

This is an svg .
I hope - i can resize it disregarding aspect ratio so that it frames the rectangular image in a better way.
Can you help me in this ?
Thanks.

that URL expired , was working when I posted it.
Sorry about that.
Posted PNG version of that SVG as leafy.png .
So I figured it out with inputs from snibgo post
Here is my batch script for windows that takes file name as input and frames it inside bigger image (leafy.png) then resizes resultant composite to 10:7 ratio for landscape printing on A4 paper.
Leaving aside 15% on all sides of leafy.png rest gets overlaid with user fed image.
SET /P _inputname= Please enter file name without extension :
convert %_inputname%.png -resize 1173x1173! %_inputname%.png
composite.exe %_inputname%.png leafy.png -gravity Center -resize 100%%x70%%! big-%_inputname%-with-background.png
leafy.png is

Unless the picture you want to frame fits in to your 'leafy image nicely... You may want to break up leafy into sub pictures, and then add them around your picture. Something like the "picture frame" process in
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/thumbnails/#frame_edge
It all depends on exactly what you want.
Basically break up your problem into steps and apply the steps.
