| Anyone knows how to run "package req Img" when not running x-windows /
windows ?
I get an error of :this isn't a Tk applicationcouldn't connect to display
"127.0.0.1:0.0"
Since I am running it in a shell, the problem is that I do not want to run
windows / x-win
since I just want to resize images ...
Any help is appreciated ?
Regards,
Sean.

The Img package is highly dependent on parts of the Tk package, which is
highly dependent on the GUI sub-system (X11 or MS-Windows). There is
no meaningful way to re-write Img to not be dependent on Tk and this
includes the parts of it relating to resizing -- the Img package itself
does not in fact include code to re-size images -- that code is actually
part of Tk itself, all Img adds is a batch of additional image file
formats that are not part of the core Tk code and all of the actual
image manipulation is part of the Tk itself.
Under UNIX/Linux, you could install the ImageMagick package and use the
convert program as a sub-process (eg exec convert image.png -geometry
50x50 thumb.png). I don't know if there is a MS-Windows port of
ImageMagick (there might be).

Right.

There are ports of both GraphicsMagick and ImageMagick for Linux,
Windows and so on. Even better, there is also a TclMagick API that
lets you work with either one from Tcl. And if you ever want to talk
with Tk, TkMagick takes care of that part.
