--- Comment #6 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #3) As I can do this using the instructions you gave: > You have to > duplicate the raster graphic and crop both sides from left and right. Then surely it can't be > Out of scope for an office suite and a vector drawing tool. can it? > process the content with a specialized tool like GIMP. A tool like GIMP would not, by design, create two separate edited images from a single image. It may create layers, selections, masks etc. - and of course you can duplicate and image and cut the two complementing pieces - but it is really not the right tool for the job. A vector graphics drawing app - is. Now, one could argue about whether this merits its own command, but definitely in scope. (In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #4) > The slice needs to split the image into its two parts, resulting in two new > objects (bmps, or even draw objects?). This is not a trivial question actually. If it's just two images, than the slicing must be along a vertical or horizontal line. If any line is allowed for the slicing, then the result would either be an image with some trapezoidal transparent region, or a drawing object which uses the image as its area fill (apologies for the use of inexact terminology). > But is this really in scope to do internally? Lots of utilities (GUI and > CLI) for doing this already, Actually - I don't think so. ImageMagick can do it, because it's scriptable and supports multiple write command, but that's more like programming that using a utility. GUI - not sure you'll find many apps/utilities which are not single-file transformers. > adopt an external lib to do it internally, For the vertical or horizontal slicing only - we don't need anything; like Heiko noted, at worst it means duplicating and cropping complementing regions. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
