Image Magick Draw - tonebytone - 09-24-2020 02:39 PM

Apparently IM has changed so much that now we can no longer use it to DRAW. Like create lines, circles, rectangles, round rectangles, polygons, Beziers, etc.

Does anyone know of any other IM-type tool that will enable us to draw? Preferably with an interface, so those of us who dislike command line tools can do some drawing easily?

I give up! To me, who always used interfaces instead of command-lines, this is just like telling me to climb Mt. Everest! Linda, I think you are perhaps the only one who can wade thru this and get something out of it.

Here is my command line tute for Draw.

Does Mac have a Paint kind of program. Windows will let you draw on pics.

Thanks, Linda. No, Mac doesn't have a Paint program. And I hate command-line stuff. If I can't find an interface like we used to have, then I'll just give up on Draw.

The major reason I don't like to use command-line stuff is that my 88-yr-old eyes have a hard time looking at a computer's back-lit screen. And my eyes sometimes jerk a little, which makes it hard to keep my place in the myriad lines of codes.

Well, wonder of wonders, Corel does made its Painter 2021 Mac-compatible!

I hope you found the IM interface on the server. I'm not familiar with Corel.

Yes, thanks, Linda. Now I'm wondering - will Steve still keep the IM interface for us, or if I am the only one who uses it, will he delete it?


RE: Image Magick Draw - Linda - 10-10-2020 04:09 AM

I see no reason to delete it. He just cannot update it...but if it still works, no reason to get rid of it.
