Puzzler! In ImageMagick 6.5.8-9 I get

identify -format "%x - %[resolution.x] - %[fx:resolution.x]" SeedImage_9.jpg
72 PixelsPerInch - - 72

i.e. it doesn't report the middle one.

I can just use the fx option. But is this a bug?

identify -format "%x" SeedImage_9.jpg produces 72 PixelsPerInch identify -format "[resolution.x]" SeedImage_9.jpg produces empty line. What gives? I just want the dpi without having to parse out the unit text. Fred http://www.pagekicker.com/pk-main/development/scripts/tmp/1f92adb...

Hi, I am trying to figure out how to create a box of the necessary size to underlay a caption of arbitrary length.

When I composite the bar code file onto the book cover canvas, something is causing the pure black to be converted to RGB blacks that are not pure black. The printer requires the boo...

hi,

I want to set the colorspace as CMYK prior to a long series of (independent) convert commands in a bash script, then return it to sRGB when the script is done. How do I do that?

That's odd. 1) the EPS that bookland generates is 72 x 72. 2) the result of convert -units "PixelsPerInch" -density 300 -colorspace CMYK images/$uuid/print/$userprovidedprintISBN.eps -density 300 images/$uuid/print/$userprovidedprintISBN.png is an image that is Geometry: 671x396+0+0 Resolu...

Hi Must be doing something simple wrong... I am using Judah Milgram's bookland program to create an EPS bar code to lay on a book cover. http://www.tux.org/~milgram/bookland/ I want to convert the resulting ISBN.eps file to a PNG. The barcode object on the book cover is supposed to be 1.75 x 0.98 &q...

How can I create the spine for a book with the title left justified, some space, followed by the publisher name right justified? I understand how to rotate, the problem I am having is that I don't know how to make the title gravity west and the publisher name gravity right at the same time.
