Re: Incorporating ImageMagick into an LC program?

I don't know. I was just wondering about interfacing through an LCB library or widget. That way, the LC folks would not have to be involved. If you don't mind a 2 second delay, the command line option works fine, but I think it should be faster. I have all the tools I need now, to get

Incorporating ImageMagick into an LC program?

I once made an app that used command line calls to ImageMagick. That worked fine, but with a slight delay. Would it be difficult to create an lcb script that directly interfaces with ImageMagick? As long as you give them credit, their license would allow it.

I assume flushEvents() isn't available for mobile? At least the 8.1.3 dictionary shows it is for desktop only. So would something like this work? local sTaskStatus, sTaskRequests on mouseUp send "doTask" to me in 0 seconds put the result & CR after sTaskRequests end mouseUp
