: Slice an image into pieces and generate images that contain all the prior parts Say I have an image of width 1000. I need to slice the image into 100 slices ,which will generate 100 images.

@BetL875

This may be a case for a batch solution.

By using the ImageMagick crop by percent function we can crop an image any given percentage from 1% to 100%.

Images below were cropped with the following command:

convert <input> -crop <x>%x0+0+0 <out>


Where <input> is the source image name, <x> is the precentage, and <out> it the output filename.


Cropped with <x> = 1, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50

Cropped with <x> = 60, 70

Cropped with <x> = 80

Cropped with <x> = 90

Cropped with <x> = 100 (this was the source image)

Of course this need not be done manually but can easily be included in a script.

On a POSIX OS the following Bash script will produce 100 stacked slices (like above) starting at 1% to 100% and write these as out-<x>.jpg in the same directory from an image given as a command line parameter.

#! /bin/bash

# filename

for ((i=100; i>=1; i--)); do
echo "$i"
convert "" -crop $i%x0+0+0 "out-$i.jpg"
done
