Note, options -dither, -colorspace, and -treedepth affect the color reduction algorithm.
The Transparent color space behaves uniquely in that it preserves the matte channel of the image if it exists.
The -colors or -monochrome option is required for this option to take effect.
This option is useful for regulating the display of the sequence of images. Milliseconds must expire before the display of the next image. The default is 60 milliseconds between each frame of the image sequence. The second value is optional. It specifies the number of seconds to pause before repeating your animation sequence.
Use > to change the dimensions of the image only if its size exceeds the geometry specification. < resizes the image only if its dimensions is less than the geometry specification. For example, if you specify 640x480> and the image size is 512x512, the image size does not change. However, if the image is 1024x1024, it is resized to 640x480.
