Re: Set a palette in a Windows BMP file (8 bit) ?

Excellent idea, the explanation makes sense to me. Although it is annoying when software tries to be "intelligent" on my behalf, just like Excel / Word tends to do. I will make some experiments with your idea there. Do you know how to modify the individual items of the Color array ? Exampl...

Re: Converting raw greyscale BMP image

My attempts so far: c:\>convert -size 300x118 -depth 8 rgb:qwerty.raw q3.bmp convert: Unexpected end-of-file (qwerty...

[solved] Re: from PNG til 1bpp BMP in one step ?

Code: Select all

c:\im\convert drawing.png -type bilevel -colors 256 drawing.bmp
This did the trick. The -colors 256 is from the section on BMP linked to here.

Thanks for all help :)

I think I tried every single combination of -type bilevel, -depth 2 etc etc - but always I get returned a 24 bpp image. I have put sample files here: http://ge.tt/5Ob8ZOK/v/0 What I need is to g...

Re: Efficiently convert PDF to bilevel BMP

Post a link to your pdf file so others can test and verify. If you have a correct result, the post that also. I have uploaded two PDF examples each 4 pages, and converted documents (8 x BMP) APPROX like they need to be. BMPs are 3182 x 4687 px 1 BPP, ideally I would like 4800 wide but this is not e...

This is an old topic, but could not find anyone that discussed it since. My need is to take a text file and line-by-line create a graphic 300px high with that line. ImageMagick is perfect for the job, except it still does not handle unicode correct. I have ImageMagick 6.7.6-5 4.4.2012 Input file tri...
