image » convert(source,format,saveTo)

Description

This command converts an image file from one format to another. The supported formats are:

• png
• bmp
• jpg
• gif

This command expects that source is a readable, valid image file, and that the target image location is denoted via saveTo. Note that the conversion DOES NOT depend on the extension of the target filename. Consider the following:

image

convert(source,format,saveTo)

original.png

bmp

new_image.jpg

Even though the target file ends with .jpg, this command should still carry out a “png-to-bmp” conversion.

Nexial supports image as URL (instead of fully qualified path). Nexial will automatically download image content and save it to temporary location (System/OS -specific). Use saveTo to determine the location of the processed file.

Parameters

• source - full path of the image file to convert. Consider using $(syspath),  nexial.lastScreenshot, etc. to keep your script portable.
• format - one of the supported format (the target format to convert to): png, bmp, jpg or gif
• saveTo - the full path of the target (converted) image

Example

• colorbit(image,bit,saveTo)
