Hi Guys,

Im using the im4java to convert my images in java and it works great.But i need to know the time it takes to convert an image. Cause the time change depending of the size of the original image,etc.

There's a method which is implemented for this ?

thanks :)

I don't know the im4java tools. It is not listed at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php and I doubt is supported by the ImageMagick team.

But in command line IM there is -monitor. See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... 56#monitor.

Or use the Unix time function.

Thanks for your reply fmw42, but the -monitor doesn't offer an option to get the conversion time of an image. The Unix time function either.
The reason why i want to get the conversion time of an image is that i want to call another function as soon as the image
is converted.Do you have some suggestions or some ideas how can i do this ?

Thanks

For a command. Run the command using time and look at the 'user time'

EG: time convert ......
