image magick (image wand)

[jamie]

hi,

we are currently reprogramming the way we display our area maps and instead of chopping up each map into many smaller squares, a friend recommended i look at image magick's magick wand, which could create the chosen segment on the fly from 1 larger map.

has anyone done this and could point me in right direction with a few tips?

image magick's site is rather sparse on help

many thanks

Hi Jamie,
You triggered my curiosity (I do not use IM)
I found THIS [ecn.purdue.edu]

Hope it helps?

ha! that almost has antique value henry what a great find :)

i am sure the basics will be similar now. i've actually just ordered the image magick book from amazon. i'll report back if the commands are similar to the ones in the article ;)

cheers
