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. 1/100ths of a second must expire before the display of the next image. The default is 6/100th of a second 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.
