LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] ImageMagick

Using the display program I would like to display an image anywhere on the screen I want. I was looking at the geometry and gravity options, but I am not sure how to set it up.
Thanks in advance,

Terry

There's no question in there. Please be concise and reformulate your question.

Ok, my questgion is somewhat inferred. But not that hard to see what I want. I want to know what parameters to use to place the image at a specific x-y coordinate on my monitor. The image is being generated by a machine and I have a process that is displaying the image. I want it to display in the right hand corner of my screen out of the way, but easily monitorable.

Please do not assume English is the primary language of all the users this forum. It's better to explicitly state your question so that others who may know how to do what you want but can't process what you're inferring. I had no idea what you were asking and English is my primary language.

In any case, check out the display(1) command of imagemagick. I don't use imagemagick much but a quick google search and man page skim points me that might be what fits the bill for you.

Code:

EXAMPLES

      To scale an image of a cockatoo to exactly 640  pixels  in

      width  and 480 pixels in height and position the window at

      location (200,200), use:



          display -geometry 640x480+200+200! cockatoo.miff

From the same man page, the -geometry option help.

Code:

      -geometry <width>x<height>{+-}<x>{+-}<y>{%}{@} {!}{<}{>}

              preferred size and location of the Image window.

be aware --
"*.miff" is the imagemagick internal image format

used only by imagemagick

there is a NEW'ish program that is replacing most things IM can do - and dose it way faster

Gmic

a Gimp plugin and a MUCH better terminal graphics program
