in thread Howto convert Image::Grab jpg object to Image::Magick object???

For this example code, I'm not sure if you need the conversion to GD, since Image::Magick supports a ->Draw command. Here's another untested copy-n-paste from the docs you could try:

$image->Draw(stroke=>'red', primitive=>'rectangle', points=>20,20 100,
+100');

Where $image is an Image::Magick object.

    Hi

    The GD is irrelevant in this case but it gives me a template to follow when applied to Image::Get and Image::Magick. I had found your docs reference but it doesn't show me how to pass an image from one object to a different type of object.

    Thanks for your time looking at this

      Hi
      This code did the job for me.

      #get the latest image from the IP camera
my $snapshot = new Image::Grab;
$snapshot->ua->timeout(5);  #sets the timeout (sec) for image::grab (d
+efault is 180s)
$snapshot->url("$Camera{$key}");  # create the grab object
$snapshot->grab;    # grab the image

mark_blob(my $jpg);     # mark as a binary variable
$jpg = $snapshot->image;
# Convert to Image::Maggick image
my $pic = Image::Magick->new(magick=>'jpg'); #   create new image obje
+ct
$pic->BlobToImage($jpg);  #convert the grabbed blob image to Image::Ma
+gick object

        What is "mark_blob"? It's probably not needed...
