Currently  -- not directly.   This is an example of proportional
or trapezoidal transformation.

An indirect example of doing this in IM is using Distortion Maps.

This is primitive and hard to control (generated using a mathematical
formula).

Yes, just set  "-channels RGBA"  so the alpha channel is also
transformed.


A few proposals have been put forward however for a proper
transformation operator..

Nothing has been done at this time however.
