Another simple newbie question-

[Bonzo]

This code is originaly from Anthonys's example site:

Code: Select all

exec("/usr/local/bin/convert -size 200x200 $image -thumbnail '100x100>' \
            -gravity center  -crop 120x120+0+0\! \
            -background skyblue  -flatten  pad_view.jpg"); 

Its a while since I did this and can not rember what it all means

But I would guess:
original image size = -size 200x200
original image name = $image
Create a thumbnail = '100x100>'
Put the image in the center of a 120x120 box = -gravity center -crop 120x120+0+0\!
Box background colour = -background skyblue
-flatten
new image name = pad_view.jpg

The output of the code is at the bottom of this page - http://www.rubblewebs.co.uk/imagemagick/mosaic.php

It should work without -size; you can use the getimagesize( ) function and build that into your code.

But just try without -size 200x200 and see what happens.

Thats good; I was trying to post this as you posted your edit !
