That's strange: I don't see it. It's quite clear from normal viewing distance, full size, on my screen - 1440x900 17" laptop. Using the middle-distance portion of my trifocals. -- -- ^^^^^^^^^^ -- Whiskers -- ~~~~~~~~~~ |

Why did you leave answering Floyd so long? Was that intentional, or was it just a way to screw with certain folks here? :-) My absence was unplanned, without any malice aforethought. Any side effects are purely fortuitous. -- -- ^^^^^^^^^^ -- Whiskers -- ~~~~~~~~~~ |

From a Linux command prompt: $ display https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/.../LR--00126.jpg Pardon my ignorance but where does ImageMagick fit into that? Smack in the middle! ImageMagick is a package, with a number of tools. The most commonly used are /convert/ and /mogrify/, with perhaps /display/ next. Others a "identify", "composite", "montage", "compare", "stream", "animate", "import", and "conjure". It is a set of command line utilities that can do just about anything. If you need something scripted, this is the way to go. -- Floyd L. Davidson http://www.apaflo.com/ Ukpeagvik (Barrow, Alaska) |

No, he isn't. Ok, but using ImageMagick to download images isn't all that common, so honest assumption. But I don't own the server on which the image resides. Also, if I'm not mistaken (I don't use X server), "display" doesn't download the image to the hard drive, i.e. it only uses nanohttp to read from the network to RAM and display it in X. While "technically" downloading, it's not a common usage of the word. BUt, as I said - appropriate for your specific use of the command where you presumably don't want to save it to the hard drive. Causing display to save the image is a few mouse clicks away, though I don't know if that has to be interactive or not. There's a command line option to "-write filename" (one of getting on for 100 options) but I wouldn't use that unless I knew I wanted to keep it. I could of course automate that with an alias or script. While it's running, display has an extensive interactive menu on screen; about as close as imagemagick gets to a GUI. -- -- ^^^^^^^^^^ -- Whiskers -- ~~~~~~~~~~ |

Was that intentional, or was it just a way to screw with certain folks here? :-) He very conveniently provide a couple people all the rope they needed to hang themselves. You and nospam are now sputtering, as you slowly choke and the crowd cheers. Why are you dragging me into the tent with nospam & Jonas? ...or is it that you couldn't resist painting me with your distain? Ouch! My humble apologies! That wasn't meant to be what it says. I was interrupted while writing and came back and finished it with a mistaken mind set about who I was responding to. I regret that! I have made no comment on, or speculated on the way Whiskers uses ImageMagic. Personally, I don't use ImageMagic, and I am certainly not a web designer, or Linux user. As such I have no idea of the validity of any of nospam's, or Jonas' conjecture in this case. If I am going to share an image file I use Dropbox, or Adobe CC to post a resized version, or a fat original. That should not have been directed at you. You may be guilty of a huge variety of nefarious things, Sir... but you are not a nospam and you are not a Sandman, much to your credit! Apology accepted. -- Savageduck |
