How can I convert an ImageMagick shell script for use in my RoR project?

[Eric Kornmeyer]

I'm creating a project that lets users upload images onto products and
then buy the products. I'm using Carrierwave and Minimagick. I found
this cylnderize script on fmwconcepts. It's a shell script. It is
literally perfect for what I need as a lot of the products are mugs.
Does anyone know how I might be able to convert the script into
minimagick code I can use in my controller?

Hello Eric,

                I hope this is the one you need:

               system <<-COMMAND

                  convert image.png -monochrome -format png -density 300 another_image.png

            COMMAND

Here's just one of the many examples out there of how to code a plugin for CarrierWave:

Personally, I find the tooling around Paperclip to be a lot more hackable in this regard. The thumbnail processor can be duplicated in place, modified with different command-line arguments, and used as a different "style" in the collection. It helps that Paperclip does their own thumbnail as a plug-in, so you're on a par with the core functionality.
