USAGE: turn [-a angle] [-x xshift] [-y yshift] [-f format] infile outfilee
USAGE: turn [-h or -help]

-a .... angle ..... clockwise angle of rotation; 0<=float<=360; default=0
-x .... xshift .... xshift of image; integer; default=0
-y .... yshift .... yshift of image; integer; default=0
-f .... format .... format for the output; choices are aspect (a),
................... square (s) or maxarea (m); default=aspect

PURPOSE: To simultaneously rotate and crop an image to eliminate any background.

DESCRIPTION: TURN simultaneously rotate and crop an image to eliminate any background. Two methods are available: preserve the input image's w:h aspect ratio in the output or make the output square.

ARGUMENTS:

-a angle ... ANGLE of rotation. Values are floats in the range of 0 to 360 degrees.

-x xshift ... XSHIFT of image. Values are integers (positive or negative). The default=0.

-y xshift ... YSHIFT of image. Values are integers (positive or negative). The default=0.

-f format ... FORMAT for the output image. The choices are: aspect (a), square (s) or maxarea (m). Format=aspect preserves the input image's w:h aspect ratio. Format=square makes the output square. Format=maxarea uses largest subsection possible for the output. The default=aspect.

Requirement: IM 6.3.6-1 or higher due to the use of -set distort:viewport WxH+X+Y

What the script does is as follows:

  • Computes the width and height and offsets of the rotated and cropped image
    to achieve either preservation of aspect ratio or a square result
  • Uses viewport cropping with +distort SRT to rotate and crop the image

This is equivalent to the following IM commands.

  • w=`convert $infile -ping -format "%w" info:`
  • h=`convert $infile -ping -format "%h" info:`
  • [ $w -ge $h ] && mode="landscape" || mode="portrait"
  • asang=`convert xc: -format "%[fx:abs(sin($angle*pi/180))]" info:`
  • acang=`convert xc: -format "%[fx:abs(cos($angle*pi/180))]" info:`

    a=$w
    b=$h
