WebDNA interaction with ImageMagick

How to pass variables to ImageMagick using a [shell] context?

numero = 41
interpreted = N
texte = Simply set the variable on the page above the [shell], and when you construct the script you want to run within [shell], just drop the [variable] in. So, in this example, you would use something like this.
[text]height=100[/text][text]width=100[/text][text]sourcefile=logo.jpg[/text][text]resultfile=result.jpg[/text]
Then you would a use a [shell] script like this (in your SandBoxes scripts) to resize the image.
[shell]path-to-ImageMagick/convert -size [width]x[height] [sourcefile] -resize [width]x[height] +profile "*" [resultfile][/shell]
