'Unable to Parse' error using Freds Pagecurl script

[lotustwincam]

I get the following error using Freds Pagecurl script:

$ pagecurl 1.png 2.png
convert.exe: unable to parse expression `os(pi*47.7278/180)' @ error/fx.c/FxGetSymbol/1868.

Other scripts such as Mottle run fine.

Configuration:
Imagemagick 7.0.6-Q16
Cygwin (bc package is installed)
Windows 7

thanks in advance for any help.

My scripts do not work on Windows unless you are using Windows 10 Unix or install Cygwin. They are bash unix scripts. So you must make the call from a Cygwin Bash window and use convert, not convert.exe.

The error is from an fx computation. So bc is not involved. I have no idea why the fx computation would fail other than your wrong command.

With IM 7 use magick not convert.

This statement does not grok:

Code: Select all

convert xc: -format "%[fx:($p3x)cos(pi*$angle/180)-($p3y+$len)sin(pi*$angle/180)+$x1]" info:

instead it likely should be

Code: Select all

convert xc: -format "%[fx:($p3x)*cos(pi*$angle/180)-($p3y+$len)*sin(pi*$angle/180)+$x1]" info:

Its possible older versions of the parser assumed an implicit multiply but recent releases have a more pedantic parser.

Fred will likely update the script with this patch within a few days.

I found a bug and have fixed it. So download it and try again.

Magick pointed it out just as I was posting my last message. That was indeed the bug.

fmw42:

Thanks for the quick reply. I had included my configuration details to show that I was running the script via Cygwin on a Windows 7 machine. I did mention that one of your other scripts (mottle) was working fine which suggested that my basic setup was ok.

magical:

Thanks also for the quick response. I updated the script as per your suggestion and working fine now.

I saw your comment. But I was originally confused by the .exe on convert.exe on the error message. I just wanted to be sure you were actually running it under Cygwin and not Windows.
