ImageMagick: ImageMagick Site Map
Author: ImageMagick Studio LLC
Description: ImageMagick® is a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images. It can read, convert and write images in a variety of formats (about 100) including GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, TIFF, and DPX. Use ImageMagick to translate, flip, mirror, rotate, scale, shear and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves. ImageMagick is free software delivered as a ready-to-run binary distribution or as source code that you can freely use, copy, modify, and distribute. Its license is compatible with the GPL. It runs on all major operating systems. The functionality of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command line or you can use the features from programs written in your favorite programming language. Choose from these interfaces: MagickCore (C), MagickWand (C), ChMagick (Ch), Magick++ (C++), JMagick (Java), L-Magick (Lisp), PascalMagick (Pascal), PerlMagick (Perl), MagickWand for PHP (P [cell cut: 1167 characters, first 1000 kept]

## ImageMagick Overview Introduction: convert, edit, and compose images from the command-line or program interface. Examples of ImageMagick usage: a few examples that show what you can do with an image using ImageMagick. Anthony Thyssen's examples of ImageMagick usage: a comprehensive tutorial of using ImageMagick from the command line. Color names: how to specify a a color name , a hex color, or a numerical RGB, RGBA, HSL, HSLA, CMYK, or CMYKA color. Resources: ImageMagick depends on external resources including configuration files, loadable modules, fonts, and environment variables. Architecture: get to know more about the software and algorithms behind ImageMagick. License: the legally binding and authoritative terms and conditions for use, reproduction, and distribution of ImageMagick. ## Download ImageMagick Download ImageMagick: ImageMagick source and binary distributions are available from a variety of FTP and Web mirrors. Unix source: Unix source distributions. Windows source: Windows source distributions. Unix and Windows binaries: Unix and Windows binary distributions. Subversion repository: stable and development source releases. MagickWand for PHP: a native PHP-extension to the ImageMagick MagickWand API. Delegate libraries: ImageMagick depends on a number of optional delegate libraries to extend its functionality. ## Install ImageMagick You can install ImageMagick from source. However, if don't have a proper development environment or if you're anxious to get started, download a ready-to-run Unix or Windows executable. Install from source: ImageMagick builds under Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Install from a binary distribution: install a ready-to-run Unix or Windows executable. Install ImageMagickObject COM+ Component: install the Windows ImageMagick COM+ component. ## Command-line Tools Command-line tools: overview of the ImageMagick commands. animate: animates an image sequence on any X server. compare: mathematically and visually annotate the difference between an image and its reconstruction. composite: overlaps one image over another. conjure: interprets and executes scripts written in the Magick Scripting Language (MSL). convert: convert between image formats as well as resize an image, blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw on, flip, join, re-sample, and more. display: displays an image or image sequence on any X server. identify: describes the format and characteristics of one or more image files. import: saves any visible window on an X server and outputs it as an image file. mogrify: resize an image, blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw on, flip, join, re-sample, and more. montage: create a composite image by combining several separate images. stream: a lightweight tool to stream one or more pixel components of the image or portion of the image to your choice of storage formats. Command line processing: the anatomy of the command line. Command line options: annotated list of all options that can appear on the command-line. Fx: apply a mathematical expression to an image or image channels. ## Program Interfaces Program interfaces: application programming interfaces. ChMagick: is a Ch an embeddable MagickCore C/C++ interpreter for cross-platform scripting. CL-Magick: provides a Common Lisp interface to the ImageMagick library. G2F: implements an Ada 95 binding to a subset of the low-level MagickCore library. Magick++: provides an object-oriented C++ interface to ImageMagick. JMagick: provides an object-oriented Java interface to ImageMagick. MagickCore: C API, recommended for wizard-level developers. MagickWand: convert, compose, and edit images from the C language. MagickWand for PHP: a native PHP-extension to the ImageMagick MagickWand API. nMagick: is a port of the ImageMagick library to the haXe and Neko platforms. PascalMagick: a Pascal binding for the MagickWand API and also the low-level MagickCore library. PerlMagick: convert, compose, and edit images from the Perl language. PythonMagick: an object-oriented Python interface to ImageMagick. RMagick: is an interface between the Ruby programming language and ImageMagick. TclMagick: a native Tcl-extension to the ImageMagick MagickWand API. ## Image Formats Supported image formats: annotated list of all image formats that ImageMagick can read and/or write. Motion Picture Digital Images: use SMPTE DPX Version 2.0 to process images used by the motion picture (film and high-definition) industry. High Dynamic-Range Images: permit a far greater dynamic range of exposures (i.e. a large difference between light and dark areas) than normal digital imaging techniques. ## Getting Help Definitive Guide to ImageMagick: this book explains ImageMagick in a practical, learn-by-example fashion. ImageMagick Tricks: this book is packed with examples of photo manipulations, logo creation, animations, and complete web projects.
