Bend image from the middle

[Kris.Mitchell]

Is image magic able to bend an image around something?

Example:

I am building an online app that will give users the ability to upload and use their graphics for a tree graphic wrap. What I would like to know is can image magik take the image, bend it so that it looks like it is wrapped around the tree, then flatten it again (with the use of transparencies)?

I looked in the docs and didn't see an 'in your face' way to do it.

Thanks for the help!

I think you need to provide an example (link to your example file) of the kind of bending your want.

I have a script that will wrap an image into a cylinder. See cylinderize below.
