[PLUG] image sizes

[Alex Russell]

Have you tried ImageMagick? I know guys who use it to re-size images on the
fly from other websites to fit correctly as part of batch scripts that run
every night. You wouldn't believe the kinds of sites that this is used on...
Anyway, last I saw this done, we were grabbing about 300 images a night at
about 80k a piece and dropping them down to a standards size that landed
them in the 3 or 4k area. Granted, we were running the script on a Sun E450,
but it got the job done right.

Good Luck,

	Alex

Anyone know of a good/quick command line program in Linux which can be used
to scale images (GIF/JPEG) from one resolution to another?  It must be done
on the command line level.  I've tried using "convert" ->
/usr/X11R6/bin/convert, but for some reason its not scaling to my exact
specifications, only approximates.
