hi,

newbie for Rmagick…

is there any methods to crop or clipp original image with 4 corners  
coordinates (xi, yi) i=1…4. Have seen it is possible to use  
ImageList::crop(x,y,heigth, wigth) to get a rectangle sub-image.

thanks in advances!  
vinc.

If you want something general, look at the methods define\_clip\_path  
and clip\_path of the class Draw. Take a special look to the example of  
the clip\_path method (just click on the image to see the code) in the  
RMagick doc.

I hope it to help you.
