the file rounded_corner.mvg contains the measurements for the border
and was calculated using a separate command.
convert thumbnail.gif -border 2 \
-format 'roundrectangle 1,1 %[fx:w-2],%[fx:h-2] 15,15'\
info: > rounded_corner.mvg
The two commands are needed. One to get the measurements and work out
the frame size, the other to apply the frame size using -draw.
Later in the examples from which this came
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/thumbnails/#rounded_border
Is a ALL in one command (with slightly more complexity), though it
still needs a temporary file!
The non-framed rounded corner examples is simplier.

| BTW:
|
| At home% convert -list alpha
| Activate
| Deactivate
| Off
| On
| Reset
| Set
|
Yes an early version. Probably broken!
The operator was still in development at that time.
| On the server% convert -list alpha
| Activate
| Background
| Copy
| Deactivate
| Extract
| Off
| On
| Opaque
| Set
| Shape
| Transparent
|
Not the very latest but goo enough.
