Scientific to decimal?

[RedFlyer]

I'm using

Code: Select all

identify -format "%[fx:w*h]" filename

to get the total pixels of an image, but when the number gets to big IM spits it out in scientific notation.
Is there any way to get it to only use decimals for the output?

Code: Select all

identify -ping -precision 12 -format "%[fx:w*h]" vbig.png

This will help only up to a certain limit.

I think the max for -precision is 15

If on Linux/Mac and you need a bigger number than that, then use bc

ww=`identify -ping "%w" image`
hh=`identify -ping "%h" image`
echo "$ww*$hh" | bc`

There is likely something similar in Windows, but I do not know. One of the Windows users may be help on that.

The Windows "set /A" is integers only, up to 2e10. Where necessary I use my own indefinite precision calculator.

Fantastic, thank you so much.
