Output to clipboard

[Elapido]

Can I run identify -format to output the result to the clipboard?

Also, can I use this command to get the area in pixels of the image? I can get something like '640x480', but I'd like: 307200. Is it possible?

I cannot answer the first question, but for the second you can do:

convert yourimage -ping -format "%[fx:w*h]" info:

for example using the rose: IM internal image

convert rose: -ping -format "%[fx:w*h]" info:
3220


the -ping avoids reading the full image so makes it quicker.

For windows users, I believe that you need %% rather than %. See http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/windows/

First part... YES

Use the special output format clip: that is

Code: Select all

   convert ........... clip:

How do I get the output in decimal format? With large images I get something like: 1e+006

Thank for the replies.

That is a valid number format, and used for very large numbers. In that case it means 1 million. 1 with 6 digits after the first number.

I understand, but autohotkey doesn't understand it when doing calculations.

Type increasing -precision from 6 to 8 to include more significant digits

Code: Select all

convert null: -format '%[fx:1e+6]' info:
1e+06
convert null: -precision 8 -format '%[fx:1e+6]' info:
1000000

Am I right in assuming that this no longer works? That the meaning of clip: has changed since the above was written, 4 years ago?

clip: is now used to save the clip path of a file, you should use clipboard: instead.

...but 'clipboard:' works only on Windows, not on other OS platforms.

It is supported for builds that use X11, check line 234 of screenshot.c
