My colleagues are running into the following problem: A graphics viewing application (based on the ImageMan (tm) library) - don't know whether that has roots in ImageMagick - once was able to display a small drawing - a mechanical drawing - consisting of thin, partially one pixel wide lines in a minimized fashion such that still the details were quite recognizable. That is, never a pixel wide line collapsed into a 0 pixel wide "line".
Somehow the image library that was used to care of it to keep lines still visible (although it was a pixel based, not vector based image, such as a BMP file is by nature anyway). One day the relases of the programming environment changed and though the same version of Imageman was used, the look of the minimized picture suddenly became ugly and unrecognizable. The customer - who could live always with the minimized view of the drawing in previous versions - suddenly became discontent since he now is unable to judge from the minimized size what kind of part is hiding behind the drawing. Interestingly the Microsoft Windows XP Fax and image viewer standard application still displays the pixel image in a fashion that is tolerable. It does some king of antialiasing, keeping the drawing still readable even in downsized views of the pixel image. My question now is - despite of finding the reason why a previous version of the development environment could deliver satisfactory results and the last version does not - how I can use Imagemagick to produce downsized views of pixel art that keeps lines as lines. Excuse me, if it is not totally Imagemagick centered, but you may understand perhaps my problem. Thank you. -- Chris Christoph P. U.
