12<p>Geometry provides a convenient means to specify a geometry
13argument. The object may be initialized from a C string or C++ string
14containing a geometry specification. It may also be initialized by
15more efficient parameterized constructors.
16</p>
17<h3><a name="GeometrySpecifications"></a>Geometry
18Specifications</h3>
19<p>Geometry specifications are in the form
20<kbd>&quot;&lt;width&gt;x&lt;height&gt;{+-}&lt;xoffset&gt;{+-}&lt;yoffset&gt;&quot;</kbd>
21(where <i>width</i>, <i>height</i>, <i>xoffset</i>, and <i>yoffset</i>
22are numbers) for specifying the size and placement location for an
23object.
24</p>
25<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">The <i>width</i> and <i>height</i>
26parts of the geometry specification are measured in pixels. The
27<i>xoffset</i> and <i>yoffset</i> parts are also measured in pixels
28and are used to specify the distance of the placement coordinate from
29the left and top and edges of the image, respectively. Both types of
30offsets are measured from the indicated edge of the object to the
31corresponding edge of the image. The X offset may be specified in the
32following ways:

43				pixels in from the <em>left edge </em>of the image.</p>

80<p>Offsets must be given as pairs; in other words, in order to
81specify either <i>xoffset</i> or <i>yoffset</i> both must be present.

83<h3><a name="ExtendedGeometrySpecifications"></a>ImageMagick
84Extensions To Geometry Specifications</h3>
85<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">ImageMagick has added a number of
86qualifiers to the standard geometry string for use when resizing
87images. The form of an extended geometry string is
88&quot;<kbd>&lt;width&gt;x&lt;height&gt;{+-}&lt;xoffset&gt;{+-}&lt;yoffset&gt;{%}{!}{&lt;}{&gt;}&quot;</kbd>.
89Extended geometry strings should <em>only</em> be used <em>when resizing
90an image</em>. Using an extended geometry string for other
91applications may cause the API call to fail. The available
92qualifiers are shown in the following table:

144<h3><a name="PostscriptPageSize"></a>Postscript Page Size Extension
145To Geometry Specifications</h3>
146<p>Any geometry string specification supplied to the Geometry
147constructor is considered to be a Postscript page size nickname if
148the first character is not numeric. The Geometry constructor converts
149these page size specifications into the equivalent numeric geometry
150string specification (preserving any offset component) prior to
151conversion to the internal object format. Postscript page size
152specifications are short-hand for the pixel geometry required to fill
153a page of that size. Since the 11x17 inch page size used in the US
154starts with a digit, it is not supported as a Postscript page size
155nickname. Instead, substitute the geometry specification &quot;<kbd>792x1224&gt;&quot;</kbd>
156when 11x17 output is desired.
157</p>
