I have a very simple 5 color gif file. I want to create 360 images (using -rotate {values of 0 to 360). Most of the rotations average out some of the pixels. I need to keep the same pixel values, even if data is lost or duplicated.

I've tried several options, and I'll be honest, I don't understand the following web page (using affline or fx):

Is there a concrete example telling me how to do this???

Thanks

If you are using php you could use the example code on this page and see what happens http://www.rubblewebs.co.uk/imagemagick/animation.php
This actualy creating an animation but you could modify the code. Also the center point of the image moves; if you look back over my posts you should see a reply from anthony about this.

NOTE: THIS CODE COULD SLOW DOWN THE SERVER SPECIALY IF YOU ARE GENERATING 360 IMAGES.

For rotated images you the last example in the section on rotate.

Don't use distortion images unless you are doing something more complex.

I used this same technique in a script demonstrated and linked to in the last section on the distorts page. It generates an animation ,but you could have it save multiple images instead too.
