ImageMagick resize without interpolation

Question

I have a small pixel map and want to resize it for better readability.

Using mogrify -resize 1600% I get an interpolated image: .

What I'm trying to get is this: .

Can this be done by ImageMagick or any other open source command line tool?

Answer 1

I finally found the solution: using -scale instead of -resize does the trick. It is 'hidden' under the heading Scale - Minify with pixel averaging, therefore I overlooked it at first, searching for magnification instead of minification.

Answer 2

This worked for me:

convert input.png -interpolate Integer -filter point -resize "10000%" output.png

Explanation:

• Interpolation method "Integer" just picks a nearest value.
• Filter 'point' is also necessary, but I do not know why.

Answer 3

display -sample 400% worked for me.

"Change the image size simply by directly sampling the pixels original from the image. When magnifying, pixels are replicated in blocks. When minifying, pixels are sub-sampled (i.e., some rows and columns are skipped over)."
