<h2><a name='sect0' href='#toc0'>Name</a></h2>
ImageMagick - is a free software suite for the creation, modification
and display of bitmap images. 
<h2><a name='sect1' href='#toc1'>Synopsis</a></h2>

<h2><a name='sect2' href='#toc2'>Overview</a></h2>

<p> Use ImageMagick[rg] to create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap
images. It can read and write images in a variety of formats (over 200)
including PNG, JPEG, GIF, HEIC, TIFF, DPX, EXR, WebP, Postscript, PDF,
and SVG. Use ImageMagick to resize, flip, mirror, rotate, distort, shear
and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects,
or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and B\[&rsquo;e]zier curves. 
<p> The functionality
of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command-line or you can use
the features from programs written in your favorite language. Choose from
these interfaces: G2F (Ada), MagickCore (C), MagickWand (C), ChMagick (Ch),
ImageMagickObject (COM+), Magick++ (C++), JMagick (Java), JuliaIO (Julia),
L-Magick (Lisp), Lua (LuaJIT), NMagick (Neko/haXe), Magick.NET (.NET), PascalMagick
(Pascal), PerlMagick (Perl), MagickWand for PHP (PHP), IMagick (PHP), PythonMagick
(Python), magick (R), RMagick (Ruby), or TclMagick (Tcl/TK). With a language
interface, use ImageMagick to modify or create images dynamically and automagically.

<p> ImageMagick utilizes multiple computational threads to increase performance
and can read, process, or write mega-, giga-, or tera-pixel image sizes. 
<p> ImageMagick
is free software delivered as a ready-to-run binary distribution or as source
code that you may use, copy, modify, and distribute in both open and proprietary
applications. It is distributed under a derived Apache 2.0 license. 
<p> The ImageMagick
development process ensures a stable API and ABI. Before each ImageMagick
release, we perform a comprehensive security assessment that includes memory
error, thread data race detection, and continuous fuzzing to help prevent
security vulnerabilities. 
<p> The current release is ImageMagick 6.9.10-11. It
runs on Linux, Windows, Mac Os X, iOS, Android OS, and others.

ImageMagick version 6 web site is <a href='https://legacy.imagemagick.org.'>https://legacy.imagemagick.org.</a>
 The authoritative
source code repository is <a href='https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick6.'>https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick6.</a>

<p> The design of ImageMagick is an evolutionary process, with the design
and implementation efforts serving to influence and guide further progress
in the other. With ImageMagick version 7 we aim to improve the design based
on lessons learned from the version 6 implementation. 
<p> In the paragraphs
below, find a short description for each command-line tool.Cl ick on the
program name to get details on the program usage and a list of comman d-line
options that alters how the program performs. If you are just getting acq
uainted with ImageMagick, start at the top of the list, the convert program,
and  work your way down. Also be sure to peruse Anthony Thyssen&rsquo;s tutorial
on how to<br>
  use ImageMagick utilities to convert, compose, or edit images from the
command-<br>
 line. 
<dl>

<dt><b>convert</b> </dt>
<dd>
<p> convert between image formats as well as resize an image,
blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw on, flip, join, re-sample, and much
more. </dd>

<dt><b>identify</b> </dt>
<dd>
<p> describes the format and characteristics of one or more
image files. </dd>

<dt><b>mogrify</b> </dt>
<dd>
<p> resize an image, blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw
on, flip, join, re-sample, and much more. Mogrify overwrites the original
image file, whereas, convert writes to a different image file. </dd>

<dt><b>composite</b>
</dt>
<dd>
<p> overlaps one image over another. </dd>

<dt><b>montage</b> </dt>
<dd>
<p> create a composite image by combining
several separate images. The images are tiled on the composite image optionally
adorned with a border, frame, image name, and more. </dd>

<dt><b>compare</b> </dt>
<dd>
<p> mathematically
and visually annotate the difference between an image and its reconstruction..

<p> </dd>

<dt><b>stream</b> </dt>
<dd>
<p> is a lightweight tool to stream one or more pixel components of
the image or portion of the image to your choice of storage formats. It
writes the pixel components as they are read from the input image a row
at a time making stream desirable when working with large images or when
you require raw pixel components. 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>display</b> </dt>
<dd>
<p> displays an image or image sequence
on any X server. </dd>

<dt><b>animate</b> </dt>
<dd>
<p> animates an image sequence on any X server. </dd>

<dt><b>import</b>
</dt>
<dd>
<p> 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. </dd>

<dt><b>conjure</b> </dt>
<dd>
<p> interprets and executes scripts written
in the Magick Scripting Language (MSL). </dd>
</dl>
