<h1>MagickCore C API</h1>
<div class="doc-section">
<p>The <a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/api/MagickCore/index.html">MagickCore API</a> is a low-level interface between the C programming language and the ImageMagick image processing libraries and is recommended for wizard-level programmers only. Unlike the <a href="magick-wand.html">MagickWand</a> C API which uses only a few opaque types and accessors, with MagickCore you almost exlusively access the structure members directly. A description of the MagickCore public methods are found here:</p>

<p>After you write your MagickCore program, compile it like this:</p>
<p class="crt"><span class="crtprompt"> $ </span><span class="crtin">cc -o core `pkg-config --cflags --libs MagickCore` core.c</span></p>
<p>Set the <code>PKG_CONFIG_PATH</code> environment variable if ImageMagick is not in your default system path:</p>
<p class="crt"><span class="crtprompt"> $ </span><span class="crtin">export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig</span></p>
<p>Here is a example program that utilizes the MagickCore API to get you started, <a href="../source/core.c">core.c</a>. It reads a GIF image, creates a thumbnail, and writes it to disk in the PNG image format.</p>

<p><a id="image-view"></a>Now lets perform the same contrast enhancement while taking advantage of our dual or quad-core processing system by running the algorithm in parallel utilizing wand views. The <a href="../source/core/sigmoidal-contrast.c">sigmoidal-contrast.c</a> module reads an image, applies sigmoidal non-linearity contrast control, and writes the result to disk just like the previous contrast enhancement program, but now it does its work in parallel (assumes ImageMagick is built with OpenMP support).</p>
