[SOLVED] Why doesn't imagemagick work off the command line?

Hi
I want to do some experimentation with ImageMagick.
Pacman says it is installed and I can find various dirs called ImageMagick, but I can't find an actual binary to run commands against.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks

There are different binarys for the different "jobs".
You can read the man-pages to find out what "job" each binary can do.
To resize a image you have to use /usr/bin/convert for example.
"pacman -Ql imagemagick | grep bin" lists the binarys installed with imagemagick
$ pacman -Ql imagemagick | grep bin
imagemagick /usr/bin/Magick++-config
imagemagick /usr/bin/Magick-config
imagemagick /usr/bin/Wand-config
imagemagick /usr/bin/animate
imagemagick /usr/bin/compare
imagemagick /usr/bin/composite
imagemagick /usr/bin/conjure
imagemagick /usr/bin/convert
imagemagick /usr/bin/display
imagemagick /usr/bin/identify
imagemagick /usr/bin/import
imagemagick /usr/bin/mogrify
imagemagick /usr/bin/montage
imagemagick /usr/bin/stream

  • Why doesn't Nike+ work with the 1st Gen Ipod touch with 2.1 software?

    Why doesn't Nike+ work with the 1st Gen Ipod Touch with 2.1 software?

    The second gen iPod Touch has firmware version 2.1.1(5F138) whereas the 1st Gen only allows 2.1 (5F137). Don't know if that has anything to do with it, but it's likely.
    Why doesn't Apple allow those with the Nike+iPod sports kit to use their external sensor on the 1st Gen iPod Touch?!?! I can't see why the sensor would be incompatible with the right firmware upgrade!!

  • [SOLVED] Vocabulary Trainer or Learning Archit. for the Command Line

    I am writing my PhD in English which actually is not my native language. So vocabulary and expression learning is an important task. When I came to Arch part of the decision was also ralted to my whish to work as close to the Command Line as possible. So I am looking everywhere to find a vocabulary trainer for the shell. Unfortunately I was not able to find even one. I looked:
    - at the Arch Wiki 'List of Applications'
    - at the Ubuntu Wiki 'Shell Applications'
    - at http://www.jaredandcoralee.com/CLIapps.html
    - searched both the Arch and Ubuntu Wiki
    - searched Google for 'Vocabulary Trainer cli', 'Vocabulary Tainer terminal emulator', 'Vocabulary Trainer Linux Shell'
    Is anyone aware of such an application for the shell or has anyone ideas for a kind of work around using a combination of existing software/shell scripts/shell commands.
    Thanky you.
    PS: Of cause I could just start something like simple Python Script working with a csv file or something comparabla. But if possible I would like to avoud this DIY solution.

    To "just start using" the shell, I'd suggest greg's wiki
    Ok, I think there is a misunderstanding. My question does not relate to learn to use the shell. Although far from being perfect I already feel quite comfortable with the shell and its ways to interact with the system.
    It's really more basic. I have to improve my English. And in this context I need a vocabulary trainer, to learn english words and english academic expressions, nothing more. And as I am feeling quite close to the shel it would have been nice to train english vocabulary on the shell and not with something like KWordQuiz, etc.
    Sorry if my description was ambiguous. So the question still is, is there a vocabulary trainer for self defined english vocabulary to train in the shell?
    PS: Of cause also learning english is something you mostly do by learning. But I will do  that anyhow as I am writing the PhD in english and as I am presenting in English. Anyhow I experienced that there is a part in foreign language learning where there is no real subsitutde for learning it with a vocabulary trainer.

  • Can I DL UNIX commands (specifically diff)so they work in the command line?

    And if so, where?
    My java app is running in windows, and I'd like to have it call the diff operation on some files.
    Thanks!

    You can find downloads which contain various Unix commandline programs that will run on windows. I fail to see what this has to do with Java. Try searching Yahoo or Google for "diff windows"

  • Iphone 3g - why doesn't it work?

    I purchased a new pair of Nike running shoes excited to link up the sensor and get started using with my iphone 3G. However, I find out the Nike Plus only works with an iphone 3GS. I'm now going to have to return the Nike Sensor for a refund instead of having to upgrade to another Iphone model. Is there anyway around this? Why doesn't it work with the Iphone 3G? What makes the operating system in the 3GS different so it works?

    As evidence too there is a hack which gets it working as well:

  • How do I open a PDF to a specific page via the command line?

    Several questions about opening PDFs from the Mac OS X command line:
    1) How do I use the "open" command to open a PDF to a specific page? (I know I can open a document via: open doc_name.pdf)
    2) How do I use the "open" command to pass multiple arguments (page no, zoom scale, view mode, etc...) to open a PDF file in a specific manner?
    3) Does Preview handle the same parameters as Acrobat Reader? If not, what are the differences in options?
    I've spent hours searching for this answer and have come up dry. I've downloaded Adobe's "PDF Open Parameters" document -- it lists all of the parameters I need, however I can't get any of them to work from the command line.
    My goal: Open a PDF from the command line to a specific page. At first glance, I thought this would be simple to do and find -- however, after a lot of searching I haven't found an example on how to do it.
    Anyone have any experience doing this, and care to share?
    Much appreciated! ---> Kelsey

    I don't know of any way to do what you want using the 'open' command. It can probably be done with Applescript, which you could call from a shell script. The Preview application doesn't seem to be scriptable. I don't use Acrobat, so I can't tell you anything about that. Looking through the dictionaries of the apps I do have, it seems that Skim (another PDF viewer) has an AS 'page' class. Below are a couple of links that may get you started. Look for more specific guidance in Applescript forums.

  • I recently bought a lightning to 30 pin adapter for my new iPad so that I could continue to use my 30 pin to VGA cord, but when I plug the VGA cord into it it says it is not supported. They are all apple products, so why doesn't it work?

    If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
    This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
    Is this what you bought?
    You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

  • Why does Adobe sendnow work and the newest and greatest Adobe Send does not work?

    Why does Adobe sendnow work and the newest and greatest Adobe Send does not work? I wasted about 8 hours on trying to get Adobe Send to upload 269 files that amounted to 469MB. When it did not work I made a zip file and after a lot of wasted run time that did not work. The first situation gives little indication of when a file is loaded compared to Adobe SendNow. In both cases with Send it failed with a message like only the first 50 can be loaded. When I went and looked none of them had been loaded. With the zip file (I wanted to hide the individual files so they would not be counted) it appeared to work but very slowly and finally said it was done and I went and looked and it had done anything for oever 2 hours except a false "I'm runninng" indication.
    Thus, I took a chance with Adobe SendNow and it works great. It never gave me a limit on the amount of files nor on the size of the complete job. It shows me one file at a time when it has finished with the file uploading it. SendNow has never given me any problems.
    Why woiuld you want to change the program from SendNow to Send without the newest program being the best, fastest, user friendly program of the two? It just doesn't make sense to me. I suggest that Adobe keep SendNow working until Send is fixed. I would also suggest that SendNow and how it looks be kept, called Send, then modify Send one thing at a time until you get it to the point you need it to be for Acrobat. I have heard nothing good and now I have experienced it that Send is a piece of junk. I wasted most of my work day on giving Adobe the benefit of the doubt to find out I made a very bad decision to trust Adobe to make good decisions on the transfer of a function to another place .... both Adobe's responsibility.without making it painless for your customers that totally rely on you. Don't throw away customer confidence as it is very hard to get it back.

    Funny how you answer to "troll". (What's your handle on AT&T forums?)
    Yep! Verizon living up to it's contractual obligations by not releasing updates. Caveat emptor!
    I think there are some reasonable expectations here to keep customer's happy. When one carrier offers upgrades there is an expectation the same will happen across all the carriers. We have seen that except Big Red.
    Verizon could have said the update is in MS court months ago and stilled the voice of the disgruntled, or at least redirected it, but instead chose to be silent. Not for market share but for partial blame I think.
    We will have to agree to disagree since you only see Terms & Conditions and I, see customer satisfaction.

  • Why doesn't siri work away from home

    why doesn't siri work way from home

    It does for me. But it requires an Internet connection, so if you don't have mobile data turned on or your account isn't provisioned for it or you are out of range of a cell tower Siri can't talk to the servers.

  • Why doesn't adobe just join the AAF/Turakiri/Incommon and accept Institution credentials?

    Why doesn't adobe just join the AAF/Turakiri/Incommon and accept Institution credentials?
    I'm just going through the academic purchase process. Talk about inefficient.
    Australia and New Zealand have established Access Federations which allow students and staff to use their own institutional credentials to log into web applications.
    Almost all universities and a lot of polytechs have joined these Access Federations.
    Adobe would be better off enabling federated login to prove that staff and students are who they say they are rather than use the current antique approach to validating memberships of insitutions.
    Go see www.aaf.edu.au or tuakiri.ac.nz

    Thanks for the suggestion Timu. I will pass it on.

  • Why doesn't iPhone connect to the internet when connected a computer?

    Why doesn't iPhone connect to the internet when plugged into a computer that has ethernet internet connection?

    Also, computers don't work that way either to share a connection like that. Just because you plug a device into a computer doesn't mean it can use it's internet connection that way.
    Windows Mobile devices have been able to use their host USB cable to connect to the internet, since at least the year 2000. (And vice versa, more recently.)
    It was actually a minor surprise at first that Apple didn't support it.

  • Why doesn't flash work during panorama pictures

         why doesn't flash work during panorama pictures

    HI..
    Try troubleshooting the Flash plugin ..
    Quit Safari.
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
    Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Very important to uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin before reinstalling.
    Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Now try a video.
    BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
