ImageMagick(1)                                                                                                              ImageMagick(1)

NAME
       ImageMagick  -  is a free software suite for the creation, modification and display of bitmap images.  convert input-file [options]
       output-file

OVERVIEW
       ImageMagickTM, version 6.2.0, is a free software suite for the creation, modification and display of bitmap images.  It  can  read,
       convert  and  write  images  in  a  large  variety of formats. Images can be cropped, colors can be changed, various effects can be
       applied, images can be rotated and combined, and text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves  can  be  added  to  images  and
       stretched and rotated.

       ImageMagick  is  free software: it is delivered with full source code and can be freely used, copied, modified and distributed. Its
       license is compatible with the GPL. It runs on all major operating systems.

       Most of the functionality of ImageMagick can be used interactively from the command line; more often,  however,  the  features  are
       used  from  programs  written  in  the  programming languages Perl, C, C++, Python, PHP, Ruby, Tcl/Tk or Java, for which ready-made
       ImageMagick interfaces (PerlMagick, Magick++, PythonMagick, MagickWand for PHP, RMagick, TclMagick,  and  JMagick)  are  available.
       This makes it possible to modify or create images automatically and dynamically.

       ImageMagick  supports  many image formats (over 90 major formats) including popular formats like TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, and
       GIF.

       ImageMagick includes a number of command-line utilities for manipulating images. Most of  you  are  probably  accustom  to  editing
       images  one  at  a time with a graphical user interface (GUI) with such programs as gimp or Photoshop. However, a GUI is not always
       convenient. Suppose you want to process an image dynamically from a web script or you want to apply the  same  operations  to  many
       images  or  repeat  a specific operation at different times to the same or different image. For these types of operations, the com‐
       mand-line image processing utility is appropriate.

       In the paragraphs below, find a short description for each command-line tool.Click on the program name to get details on  the  pro‐
       gram  usage  and  a  list  of  command-line  options  that alters how the program performs. If you are just getting acquianted with
       ImageMagick, start at the top of the list, the convert program, and work your way dowm. Also be sure to  peruse  Anthony  Thyssen’s
       tutorial on how to use ImageMagick utilities to convert, compose, or edit images from the command-line.

       convert

              convert between image formats as well as resize an image, blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw on, flip, join, re-sample, and
              much more.

       identify

              describes the format and characteristics of one or more image files.  mogrify

              resize an image, blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw on, flip, join, re-sample, and much more. Mogrify overwrites the origi‐
              nal image file, whereas, convert writes to a different image file.

       composite

              overlaps one image over another.

       montage

              create a composite image by combining several separate images. The images are tiled on the composite image optionall adorned
              with a border, frame, image name, and more.

       compare

              mathematically and visually annotate the difference between an image and its reconstruction..

       display

              displays an image or image sequence on any X server.

       animate

              animates an image sequence on any X server.

       import  saves any visible window on an X server and outputs it as an image file. You  can  capture  a  single  window,  the  entire
              screen, or any rectangular portion of the screen.
       conjure

              interprets and executes scripts written in the Magick Scripting Language (MSL).
