What's the right way to get all the image geometry, including page info?

I tried

$geom = $image->Get('geometry');

but this returns zilch (I'm still with 6.3.1-4). Using

($w,$h) = $image->Get('width', 'height');

and

($c,$r) = $image->Get('columns', 'rows');

both return identical (synonymous?) results, but I was hoping 'geometry' would give me the works: (width)x(height)+page.x+page.y.

Use $image->Get('columns') to return the image width, Get('rows') for the image height, and Get('page') to get the page geometry (page width, height, x, and y). The page width/height may be different from the image width/height because it represents the image virtual canvas.

Thanks, yes, 'page' is exactly what I thought 'geometry' would give. (What DOES 'geometry' return?)

Without resorting to split-ing or other perly string manipulations (which wouldn't be difficult, I'll grant), are the x and y ready to Get separately? E.g.,

$image->Get('pagex', 'pagey') ?

How's this?

Code: Select all

          if (LocaleCompare(attribute,"pagex") == 0)
            {
              if (image != (Image *) NULL)
                s=newSViv((long) image->page.x);
              PUSHs(s ? sv_2mortal(s) : &sv_undef);
              continue;
            }
          if (LocaleCompare(attribute,"pagey") == 0)
            {
              if (image != (Image *) NULL)
                s=newSViv((long) image->page.y);
              PUSHs(s ? sv_2mortal(s) : &sv_undef);
              continue;
            }

It seems to work for me and 'twould be useful.

We will instead use page.x and page.y as attributes available in the next Beta release by tommorrow.
