Charlie,
Thanks a lot. I was looking for the tag as a starting point to use as reference to re-write a version to work with the latest version of imagemagick. The issue that sparked this was I was working to create a box for a web site that can take a signature from the user and save it as an image. I was thinking about using cfexecute myself, but could not find any good examples of imagemagick doing what the tag said it could do. And the imagemagick documentation is not the best, or I have not dug enough yet. So now that cfexecute does indeed seem to be the route I am going to go, I am going to have to find an example of using imagemagick using draw. But on further analysis of the original proof of concept on this, it did indeed answered one further question and that is that I will have to loop through the list of plot points and can't just pass imagemagick an entire image to create as a complete list of plot points. Thanks again for all this effort, you have definitely found a lot of valuable info and helped me a lot.

Doing a little digging found that it seems Alagad stopped supporting it in 2004. - Note on Alagad referring to "past users of the Alagad Magick" http://www.alagad.com/go/blog-entry/use-the-image-component-to-scale-images- to-a-specific-width-or-height-proportionately And the main ImageMagick site no longer makes mention of any CF, ColdFusion, integration. - http://www.imagemagick.com/ But they do offer a java api implementation, JMagick. Should be able to call it from CF6 and above via cfobject/createobject. - http://www.yeo.id.au/jmagick/ There's also MagickNet, the.net api implementation (which should be able to call from CF8 or BD.NET) - http://midimick.com/magicknet/ Then I found another implementation of a CFX using imagemajick, though a c++ one instead of Java: - http://www.kolumbus.fi/~kr0626/cfx_openimage/ (updated in 2007) I actually found the latter at the end of a long discussion at CF-talk where others mentioned other tags that didn't work back then (2005) as well as some saying "just call ImageMagick via CFEXECUTE", which seems still another option for you: - http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:39561 That may be your best bet. I'm guessing you can't use the built-in image manipulation in CF? Let us know if any of these work for you. /charlie _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cody Wehunt Sent: Friday, January 25, 2008 4:32 PM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] MagickTag from Alagad I don't see MagickTag from Alagad available any more does anyone have a copy?
