why does your verbose info for the EMF file have png properties. Perhaps your EMF reader is reading the png size and IM does not change that.
I hadn't noticed that. At a guess I'd say it had an embedded image in there.

There are legends on the map, although they wouldn't be that large.

Try ...

identify -verbose detail.emf
identify: no decode delegate for this image format `detail.emf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/532.

I figured I'd check: it's probably a Windows thing .

I got this:


Image: \temp\work\detail.emf
Format: EMF (Windows WIN32 API rendered Enhanced Meta File)
Class ...

In fact, even Photoshop will not display this image.

Oddly, Adobe Illustrator will read it in, but I always seem to max out at about 8000x4000 pixels when exporting to JPG - not enough to resolve the smaller labels, and his northern continent has a ton of fine detail.

That's why I'm trying IM ...

I'm not sure what you mean by a text example.

Here's http://www.thefifthimperium.com/images/detail.emf a section of the map he ran off for me as a stand-alone file. It represents about 15-20% of the overall map.

This is a smaller segment that a quick test shows similar behavior, but Windows XP ...

No problem. Working on getting one.

It isn't so much that the 'information' is proprietary, just that I don't think he'd want such an easily editable version to be publicly available.

can you post a non-proprietary text example that shows the same problem?

I'm not sure what you mean by a text example.

The final output image will be posted online, I just don't see him wanting the vector-based version being posted.

I've asked him if his generating program can export a portion ...

convert -density "150" source.emf dest5.jpg or convert -density "300" source.emf dest6.jpg

As EMF is a vector format, these two commands should produce files with different widthxheight dimensions. The first should have a resolution of 150 dpi and the second should be 300 dpi.

Look at the ...

" The default unit of measure is in dots per inch (DPI). The -units option may be used to select dots per centimeter instead.
The default resolution is 72 dots per inch, which is ...

put -density XXX before the image and right after "convert". But note that density is in dots per inch (pixels per inch). So you need to adjust the density value to produce the pixel dimensions you want. Nominal values are 72 dpi.

Thanks for the quick response. I hadn't realized that the ...

New to using ImageMagick...

Trying to convert an EMF to JPG (on a Windows box). No complex conversions, just trying, without success, to get the output resolution I want.

A simple default convert like CONVERT SRC.EMF DST.JPG runs the conversion to an apparently 'default' size of 3997x2000.

My ...
