rotate single image to multiples angles with imagemagick

Question

I have one round image. I need to rotate this image in 1 degree steps. i.e. 60 rotated images of single image. How may I do this with imagemagick ?

Answer 1

Yes it is possible.

This one will create a right rotating pic series.

for i in $(seq -w 1 60)
do 
    convert -rotate ${i} orig-image.jpg pic_rotated_${i}.jpg
done

If you would like to have it left rotated, just put a - sign in the -rotate value.

for i in $(seq -w 1 60)
do 
    convert -rotate -${i} orig-image.jpg pic_rotated_${i}.jpg
done

I chose seq to generate the number series with leading zero which makes it easier to sort. One could also use {1..60} instead of $(seq...).

Answer 2

Yes it is possible. If you need more information, lookup convert -rotate in the manual
