Image::Magick::Tiler

Image::Magick::Tiler is a fantastic Perl module designed primarily to slice an image into N x M tiles. The software is incredibly easy to use, and the module handles all the technicalities automatically.

To get started with Image::Magick::Tiler, simply include the following code in your Perl script:

 #!/usr/bin/perl
 use Image::Magick::Tile;
 Image::Magick::Tile -> new (
    input_file => 'image.png',
    geometry => '3x4+5-6',
    output_dir => '',
    output_type => 'png',
 ) -> tile();

As you can see, the options are very straightforward. The 'input_file' parameter specifies the image file you want to tile, while the 'geometry' option determines the number of tiles both horizontally and vertically. For example, the above code slices 'image.png' into 3 tiles horizontally and 4 tiles vertically.

The 'geometry' option further provides the capability to control the size of each tile. With the formula NxM+x+y, you can determine the size of the tiles by setting 'x' and 'y' values. For instance, in the code above, the width of each tile is ( (width of image.png) / 3) + 5 pixels, and the height of each tile is ( (height of image.png) / 4) - 6 pixels.

If you need to adjust the position of the tiling lines for a particular image, 'x' and 'y' offsets will come in handy. For example, using 2x3+50, you can move the vertical line 50 pixels to the right. The ability to make such adjustments makes tiling with Image::Magick::Tiler even more efficient.

Overall, Image::Magick::Tiler is absolutely fantastic software that is easy to use, reliable, and efficient. It is particularly useful for slicing images into tiles and can be an excellent addition to any Perl programmer's toolkit.
