last modified: December 15, 2018



USAGE: aspectcrop [-a aspect] [-g gravity] infile outfile
USAGE: aspectcrop [-help]

-a ... aspect .... aspect ratio value desired; width to height ratio; values
.................. can be either a float or as two floats separated by a
.................. colon; default is input aspect ratio (no change)
-g ... gravity ... gravity alignment for cropping; any IM -gravity value;
.................. default=center

PURPOSE: To crop an image to a specified aspect ratio.

DESCRIPTION: ASPECTPAD crops an image to a specified aspect ratio.

ARGUMENTS:

-a aspect ... ASPECT is the desired width to height aspect ratio. Values are either floats>0, such as 2 (landscape) or 0.5 (portrait), or two floats separate by a colon (and no spaces), such a 2:1 (landscale) or 1:2 (portrait). The default is input aspect ratio (no change).

-g gravity ... GRAVITY alignment for cropping; Any IM -gravity setting is allowed. Options are: center (c), north (n), south (s), east (e), west (w), northwest (nw), northeast (ne), southwest, (sw) or southeast (se). The default=center.

CAVEAT: No guarantee that this script will work on all platforms, nor that trapping of inconsistent parameters is complete and foolproof. Use At Your Own Risk.


EXAMPLES


Example 1

Original

Arguments:
-a 1:1

Arguments:
-a 1:2

size 265x333
(aspect=0.80)

size 265x265
(aspect=1.00)

size 167x333
(aspect=0.50)



Example 2

Original
size 400x299
(aspect=1.50)

Arguments:
-a 1:1

size 299x299
(aspect=1.00)

Arguments:
-a 2:1

size 400x200
(aspect=2.00)

Arguments:
-a 2:1 -g south

size 400x200
(aspect=2.00)



What the script does is as follows:

  • gets the aspect ratio of the image and compares it to
    the desired aspect
  • computes a new releveant width or height from these aspect ratios
  • uses -crop to crop the image

This is equivalent to the following IM commands for the case of automatic mode

  • ww=`convert $tmpA1 -ping -format "%w" info:`
  • hh=`convert $tmpA1 -ping -format "%h" info:`
  • ratio=`convert xc: -format "%[fx:$ww/$hh]" info:`
  • aspect1=`echo $aspect | cut -d\: -f1`
  • aspect2=`echo $aspect | cut -d\: -f2`
  • test=`convert xc: -format "%[fx:($aspect2 == $aspect1)?1:0]" info:`
  • if [ "$aspect2" = "" ]; then
    aspect=$aspect1
    elif [ $test -eq 1 ]; then
    aspect=$aspect1
    else
    aspect=`convert xc: -format "%[fx:$aspect1/$aspect2]" info:`
    fi
  • test=`convert xc: -format "%[fx:$aspect>=$ratio?1:0]" info:`
  • [ $test -eq 1 ] && format="larger" || format="smaller"
  • if [ "$format" = "larger" ]; then
    width=$ww
    height=`convert xc: -format "%[fx:$hh*$ratio/$aspect]" info:`
    elif [ "$format" = "smaller" ]; then
    width=`convert xc: -format "%[fx:$ww*$aspect/$ratio]" info:`
    height=$hh
    fi
  • convert $tmpA1 -gravity $gravity -crop ${width}x${height}+0+0 +repage $outfile
