It's a suite especially designed for image manipulation through scripting, e.g. on, a webs server. There are scripting interfaces available for Perl, Python, Java, C/C++. I don't immediately see "cropping" mentioned amongst the promoted list of possibilities, but I'd be very surprised if it couldn't be used for something so simple. Unfortunately, the port is still for ImageMagick-5.1.1, while the current version for ImageMagick is 5.2.0. That ought to be easily fixed. What I DON'T like, is that a command line image manipulator program requires XFree86!?!? -- Bart.
