morgan,
this is starting to work! the 175x175 does resize it to a width of 175
while retaining the aspect ratio.
however.... when i tried using the less than sign, the windows nt
command prompt is treating it as saving the output to a file:
c:\progra~1\imagem~1\mogrify.exe -geometry 175x175> picture.jpeg
imagemagick replies with : missing image file name. this is because the >
sign is telling windows to save the output to a file.
i tried putting a 1 after the > sign and it made a blank file with filename
of '1'.
how can i get around this? i couldnt figure out how to use -identify, it was
not in the docs
Thanks so much!
- Noah

according to the docs use
-geometry 175x175> picture.jpeg
man mogrify:
-geometry <width>x<height>{+-}<x offset>{+-}<y offset>{%}{!}{<}{>}
preferred width and height of the image. See X(1) for
details about the geometry specification.
By default, the width and height are maximum values. That
is, the image is expanded or contracted to
fit the width and height value while maintaining the aspect
ratio of the image. Append an exclamation
point to the geometry to force the image size to exactly the
size you specify. For example, if you
specify 640x480! the image width is set to 640 pixels and
height to 480. If only one factor is speci
fied, both the width and height assume the value.
To specify a percentage width or height instead, append
%. The image size is multiplied by the width
and height percentages to obtain the final image
dimensions. To increase the size of an image, use a
value greater than 100 (e.g. 125%). To decrease an image's
size, use a percentage less than 100.
Use > to change the dimensions of the image only if its size
exceeds the geometry specification. <
resizes the image only if its dimensions is less than the
geometry specification. For example, if you
specify 640x480> and the image size is 512x512, the image
size does not change. However, if the image
is 1024x1024, it is resized to 640x480.
it looks like mogrify bases its resizing on the first value that is diff
than the one supplied i.e. if your image is 200x50 it will scale it to
175x? but if it is 50x200 it will scale it to ?x175
if it is important you not resize based on height use identify to get the
geometry first.
