Off Topic - Image size convertor?

Rails
1

I’ve been googling around, and have found a lot of tools to convert
images to the right pixel size - anyone have a good command line based
one for linux?

Also, how do you issue a command from a rails app?

Thanks,
Ben L.

Try looking into ImageMagick [ImageMagick – Convert, Edit, or Compose Digital Images
index.php] and RMagick [http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/]. I think that
might be what you’re after.

Cool! Does imagemagick run on Gentoo though? Would the fedora core 5
rpm work for gentoo?

Remember, Google is thy friend. :o) Try this: http://www.google.com/
