Get The Width And Height Of An Image With ImageMagick In Rust
This is the process I'm using to get the width and height of images for a project I'm working on. It uses ImageMagick instead of the `image`` crate. I'm using it because it's considerably faster.
Code
use std::process::Command;
fn main() {
let path = "/Users/alan/workshop/__sources/tmp/pixel_frame.png";
let height = image_height(path);
dbg!(height);
}
fn image_height(img: &str) -> u32 {
let args = ["-format", "%h", img];
let response = Command::new("identify").args(args).output().unwrap();
let height_string = String::from_utf8(response.stdout).unwrap();
height_string.parse::<u32>().unwrap()
}
That call is for the height. Changing `%h`` to `%w`` provides with width.
