Dear all,

Here is a tiny command line program to crop and convert images. It uses gdk_pixbuf to do all the heavy lifting:

Code:
imgcrop (simple image cropper/converter) v.0.1a by vovchik, Oct 2018
---
Input formats supported:  pnm, pbm, pgm, ppm, tga, xpm, tiff, pcx, gif,
                          xbm, wmf, icns, bmp, png, jpg, svg and ico.
Output formats supported: png, jpg, bmp, tiff and ico.
Input parameters:         oldname newname x_start y_start width height
---
Example:                  imgcrop test.jpg test1.png 5 5 240 240
                                           or
                          imgcrop test.png -size (shows dimensions)


The archive contains the Bacon source and a 32-bit binary (Xenial). I hope it works for you. If somebody wants to compile a 64-bit version, please use a relatively recent Bacon (the current is 3.8.1).

That's real nice!

Would it be possible for it to default to the entire image, if the size parameters are left off, or all zeros? Ex:

imgcrop test.jpg test1.png 0 0 0 0

That way, wouldn't have to run the "-size" thingy first.

Dear Barry,

Thanks. You are right about the 0 0 0 0 default. The very same thought occurred to me as I was on a tram about 20 minutes ago, returning from a rather painless visit to the dentist's. I also think I should perform a check on max_w and max_h and default to those in cases where the user-supplied x and y offsets, given a desired w and h, exceed the dimensions of the original image. I'll do that soon...

With kind regards,
vovchik

Another thing that I would like to ask about, is a quick way of resizing an image:

Code:
# imgcrop in.png out.png 0 0 48 48


Both input and output are png, and input is any size, even 48x48. Output will be 48x48.

I have a use for this in /usr/local/easy_containers/easy-container script in EasyOS. I want to create a 48x48 png, and the input can be any size, svg, xpm, jpg or png.

Currently, I am testing for the extension, then using netpbm utilities to handle each image type. Your little app will greatly simplify this!

64-bit compile, using bacon 3.7.2. Input is 16x16:

Code:
# ./imgcrop Animation.xpm out.png 0 0 48 48

(imgcrop:7193): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_new_subpixbuf: assertion 'src_x >= 0 && src_x + width <= src_pixbuf->width' failed

(imgcrop:7193): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_savev: assertion 'GDK_IS_PIXBUF (pixbuf)' failed

(imgcrop:7193): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
OOPS.. something terrible happened and out.png was not created.


Ah, does that mean we can only go down in size? Yes...

Code:
# ./imgcrop Animation.xpm out.png 0 0 12 12
Original image: Animation.xpm (w x h): 16 x 15
Arguments:      x=0 y=0 w=12 h=12
New file:       out.png (w x h): 12 x 12


Would it too difficult to scale up as well?

Dear Barry,

You are right about it only being able to scale down at the moment. However, my old picscale did the scaling just fine, and I can relatively easily incorporate the scaling business, I think, since I used picscale as a template for imgcrop. Smile I will get on that soon - as soon as I figure something out about animated gifs that has been intriguing me. I am past the middle of solving that gif problem, so it won't be long. I see that the problem of catching errors related to size in imgcrop may just go away if I simply scale to accommodate the new size requested by the user. That may be a nice solution.

With kind regards,
vovchik

Yes, that seems like an elegant solution. In my case, where I want 48x48 output, if the input image is less, then scale it up to 48x48, then do the cropping.

Thinking about it some more, if I wanted to scale an image to a certain size, then 'picscale' is fine.

While thinking about these great little utilities, I was reminded of a limitation in 'pngoverlay'. The pngoverlay executable has to be in the same directory as the images it is working on.

woof-CE is no longer using pngoverlay, they now have 'pngoverlay.sh', a script that uses netpbm utilities.

Earlier pups have pngoverlay, and EasyOS still does, and I have no plan to drop it!

The source that I use is in 'pup-tools', here:
