convert and montage doesn't work with ps files in Mac and Linux for AWSS

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

convert fig1.png fig2.png fig.gif # works
convert fig.ps fig.gif # fig.ps multi-page doc, fig.gif is only first page

Same happens with montage.

Systems and versions:

Mac OS 10.4.11 Tiger
Version: ImageMagick 6.4.1 05/22/08 Q16

Ubuntu Linux 8.04
Version: ImageMagick 6.3.7 02/19/08 Q16 

Possible solution: split multi-page ps in several figs and convert/montage as 
done for whatif 
figs.

Jurgen, can you confirm that you don't have this issue? Then I can work in this 
fix.

Go ahead and attach your input to this issue and I'll spin it. 
My test case that works is in CINGROOT/Tests/data/pc_nmr_11_rstraints.ps

So trying at $CINGROOT/Tests/data/:

convert -delay 200 pc_nmr_11_rstraints.ps test.gif

And I got a 2s long animation with just 1 page showing.

I am attaching a file for you to test.

do you get a nicely rotated pinup gif and a montaged from this example by: 
the Libs/test/test_Imagery.py code?
I changed the code recently to not rotate the larger gif and instead montage to 
a
large png.

Ran 2 tests in 7.617s

The same happens in Linux for me. I suspect it's a bug in imagemagick and 
cannot find any reference on Google.
The bottom line issue is: for me, convert nor montage are able to see interpret 
a multi-page ps file as a multi-image file.

And you know what's weird: if instead of ps I use a multi-page tiff or pdf, 
convert and montage works nicely.

Alternatives:
use the pdf file as source instead of pdf to generate the animated gif and 
montaged pages?

Are you using imagemagick from Fink? which version?
fink describe imagemagick 
     imagemagick-6.4.1-1002
dpkg -l imagemagick
     6.4.1-1002
convert -version

Did you get this to work now?

No, not working gif animated.

If instead of ps I use a multi-page tiff or pdf, convert and montage works 
nicely.

Besides, your Fink is definitely different of mine (you Leopard, right?). The 
command fink list | grep '(i)' has to be 
different for me:
fink list| grep '^ i'

And I have all packages I believe I would need.

I am trying on Ubuntu... last status was 'not working' either.

Imagemagick from Fink for Tiger 10.4.11 is not ok when converting multi-page ps 
(post script) file to 
animated gif (also problems with montage)

    imagemagick                         6.4.1-1002
    imagemagick1-shlibs          6.4.1-1002

Solution:
Download 
http://www.imagemagick.org/download/binaries/ImageMagick-universal-apple-
darwin8.11.0.tar.gz
and install as described in:
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#macosx

I contacted Imagemagick Fink maintainer and hope this will be fixed in future 
releases.
