Dear Ron Savage, using a comment string was the right hint for writing the comment. Below are the solutions for my problem about writing and reading. I will also update the four tile generation programs. Thank you very much!
Günter ####################Assign variables to string and write comment####################################### use Image::Magick; $pmm = new Image::Magick; $sourcefile_name = 'image.jpg'; $p = '1'; $pmm->Read("$sourcefile_name"); $rectangle_width = '1373'; $rectangle_height = '1985'; $x1 = '839'; $y1 = '131'; $comment_string = $sourcefile_name . "*" . $rectangle_width . "*" . $rectangle_height . "*" . $x1 . "*" . $y1 .

"-0" . $p . ".jpg"; $pmm->Write(filename=>"$resultimage_name", compression=>'JPEG', quality=>'95'); ####################Read comment and assign to variables ####################################### use Image::Magick; $image = new Image::Magick; $image->Read("$resultimage_name"); $comment_string = $image->Get('comment'); @comment_list = split(/\*/, $comment_string); $sourcefile_name = @comment_list[0]; $rectangle_width = @comment_list[1]; $rectangle_height = @comment_list[2]; $x1 = @comment_list[3]; $y1 = @comment_list[4]; _______________________________________________ Magick-users mailing list Magick-users@imagemagick.org http://studio.imagemagick.org/mailman/listinfo/magick-users
