What is ExcerptImage?

Post by rmagick »

I see this new method in 6.3.5-8. What does it do? How is it different from CropImage? I notice it doesn't seem to be associated with a utility option yet, so is it "ready for prime-time" or is it still under development?

ExcerptImage() is ready for prime-time. It differs from CropImage() in that it does not respect the virtual page offset (-page) and does not update the page offset and its more efficient than cropping.

Excellent! I'll add an RMagick method for it.
