Description |
-
Identify describes the format and characteristics of one or more
image files. It will also report if an image is incomplete or corrupt.
The information displayed includes the scene number, the file name, the
width and height of the image, whether the image is colormapped or not,
the number of colors in the image, the number of bytes in the image, the
format of the image (JPEG, PNM, etc.), and finally the number of seconds
it took to read and process the image. An example line output from identify
follows:
images/aquarium.miff 640x480 PseudoClass 256c 308135b MIFF 1s
If -verbose is set, expect additional output including any image

Options |
-
Options are processed in command line order. Any option you specify on
the command line remains in effect until it is explicitly changed by specifying
the option again with a different effect.
-ping |
-
efficiently determine image characteristics.
-
This is a more efficient and less memory intensive way to query if an image
exists and what its size is. Note, only the size of the first image in
a multi-frame image file is returned.
-size
<width>{%}x<height>{%}{+offset}{!} |
-
width and height of the image.
-
Use this option to specify the width and height of raw images whose dimensions
are unknown such as GRAY,
RGB, or CMYK. In addition
to width and height, use
-size to skip any header information in
the image or tell the number of colors in a MAP image file, (e.g.
-size 640x512+256).
-
For Photo CD images, choose from these sizes:
192x128
384x256
768x512
1536x1024
3072x2048
-
Finally, use this option to choose a particular resolution layer of a JBIG
or JPEG image (e.g. -size 1024x768).
-verbose |
-
print detailed information about the image.
-
This information is printed: image name; the image class (DirectClass
or PseudoClass); the total number of unique colors; whether there
is a matte associated with the image; the number of runlength packets;
the image size; the depth of the image; the image format; the image scene;
and finally any image comment. Refer to
miff for
a description of the image class.
