greetings, ImageMagicians, I've got a problem that appears to be a buffer flushing issue.
My goal is to pull a blob out of a database, scribble on it, write it to a temporary file, and then embed that temporary file in an excel page (via OLE). I have a routine &buildGraphic that returns a temporary file name. If I arrange for the file not to be deleted and look at it after a run, it looks fine. After calling &buildGraphic, I've a routine &loadGraphicIntoSheet that is passed that temporary file name. Inside that, I do some OLE magic, and have a line $worksheet->Shapes->AddPicture($tempGraphic, 1, 1, 0, 0, int($width * 3/4 + 0.5), int($height * 3/4 + 0.5)); This fails with a "The specified file wasn't found" error. If instead of soft-coding, I hard code the output from the previous run, all is well; that is, if I hard code $tempGraphic = 'C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\eVRiTDAfB7.png'; before the line to execute, it works fine. Curiously, executing in buildGraphic $rv = $image->Write($filename); # write out temp file print `ls -l $filename`; # debugging yields something nominal: -rwxrwxrwx 1 rwweaver None 82674 Nov 21 16:53 C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\eVRiTDAfB7.png Is there a way to force imagemagick to flush output and release the file handle? --woody -- woody weaver 7301 hilltop ct 301 524 8128 frederick, MD _______________________________________________ Magick-users mailing list [email protected] http://studio.imagemagick.org/mailman/listinfo/magick-users
