Can't believe I never heard of GraphicsMagick. Thanks for the heads up. I wonder if it has a Ruby interface.
IIRC yes but, since it leaked memory like a sieve, I did everything via system("gm ...")
(This memory is a few years out of date.)
And "import"!
Hate it when I'm starting a newly written python script, and have forgotten the hashbang. For some reason my mouse cursor turns into a cross, and the script does nothing!
Always takes me a couple of seconds to realize what's going on...
I have a similar issue where I tend to start typing python code in the shell without remembering to enter the repl first.
