 I want to crop a PNG picture.
 I see how to do it with ImageMagick,
 once I know the pixel-positions of the corners of the rectangle.

 I'm wondering if there is a way of imposing a grid to read these numbers,
 either with ImageMagick or some other application that runs under Fedora ?



I may not be understanding the problem, but if you just need the four
corners, e.g. 0,0; 0,1023; 1023,0, 1023,1023 for a 1024 x 1024 image, and you don't want to need to look at the image, try the netpbm library,
e.g.

$ pngtopnm < tst.png | pnmfile

As an aside, you can then crop it by using pnmcut.

So, for instance, if I wanted to cut a 100 pixel border from an image, I
might write a script that did this:


#! bin/sh

pngtopnm < $1 > tmp.pnm
pnmfile < tmp.pnm > jnk.txt
x=`awk '{print $4}' < jnk.txt`
y=`awk '{print $6}'< jnk.txt`
width=$(( x-100 ))
height=$(( y-100))
pnmcut  50 50 $width $height tmp.pnm > tmp2.pnm
pnmtopng tmp2.pnm > tmp.png
rm tmp.pnm
rm tmp2.pnm
rm jnk.txt

I know that awk is probably not the best thing for this, but I know awk, so...
