Re: How can I get image height and width without using Image::Size?

I like Image::Size. (However, I was unable to get it working on an older RedHat system due to missing modules.) You should use it if you can because it is much more efficient, as it doesn't spawn a process. Here's how:

use Image::Size;
# get the image size, and print it out
my( $width, $height ) = imgsize( $imagefile_pathname );
[download]

But if you want to do it purely using a system command and ImageMagick's identify, here's how:

# (assume identify is in the path)
chomp( my $ident = `identify -format "%w %h" "$imagefile_pathname"` );
my( $width, $height ) = split ' ', $ident;

Why all those steps? chomp (my $id = `identify $image_file`); my ($x, $y) = ($id =~ m/\s([0-9]+)x([0-9]+)\s/); [download] And yes, I also use Image::Size when available. Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply] [d/l]

This of course does not work for files that are called `My pic of a 4x4 car.jpg` :) But identify has options! my ($x, $y) = (`identify -format "%w,%h" -quiet $image_file` =~ m/(\d+)/g); In whatever prefered context or style. Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply] [d/l] [select]
