| <h1>Apply Special Effects to an Image with an Fx Expression</h1> |
| <p class="navigation-index">[<a href="#fx">The Fx Special Effects Image Operator</a> • <a href="#anatomy">The Anatomy of an Fx Expression</a>]</p> |
| |
| <a id="fx"></a> |
| <div class="doc-section"> |
| |
| <p>Use the Fx special effects image operator to apply a mathematical expression to an image or image channels. Use Fx to:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>create canvases, gradients, mathematical colormaps</li> |
| <li>move color values between images and channels</li> |
| <li>translate, flip, mirror, rotate, scale, shear and generally distort images</li> |
| <li>merge or composite multiple images together</li> |
| <li>convolve or merge neighboring pixels together</li> |
| <li>generate image metrics or 'fingerprints'</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>The expression can be simple:</p> |
| |
| <p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert -size 64x64 canvas:black -channel blue -fx "1/2" fx_navy.png</span></p> |
| <p>Here, we convert a black to a navy blue image:</p> |
| |
| <p class="image"> |
| <a href="../images/black.png"><img src="../images/black.png" width="64" height="64" alt="black" /></a> |
| <img style="margin-top:22px; margin-bottom:22px;" src="../images/right.gif" width="20" height="20" alt="==>" /> |
| <a href="../images/navy.png"><img src="../images/navy.png" width="64" height="64" alt="navy" /></a> |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>Or the expression can be complex:</p> |
| |
| <p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert rose.jpg \ <br/> |
| -fx "(1.0/(1.0+exp(10.0*(0.5-u)))-0.006693)*1.0092503" \ <br/> |
| rose-sigmoidal.png</span></p> |
| <p>This expression results in a high contrast version of the image:</p> |
| |
| <p class="image"> |
| <a href="../images/rose.jpg"><img src="../images/rose.jpg" width="70" height="46" alt="rose" /></a> |
| <img style="margin-top:13px; margin-bottom:13px;" src="../images/right.gif" width="20" height="20" alt="==>" /> |
| <a href="../images/rose-sigmoidal.png"><img src="../images/rose-sigmoidal.png" width="70" height="46" alt="rose-sigmoidal" /></a> |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>The expression can include variable assignments. Assignments, in most cases, reduce the complexity of an expression and permit some operations that might not be possible any other way. For example, lets create a radial gradient:</p> |
| |
| <p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert -size 70x70 canvas: \ <br/> |
| -fx "Xi=i-w/2; Yj=j-h/2; 1.2*(0.5-hypot(Xi,Yj)/70.0)+0.5" \ <br/> |
| radial-gradient.png</span></p> |
| <p>The command above returns this image:</p> |
| |
| <p class="image"> |
| <a href="../images/radial-gradient.png"><img src="../images/radial-gradient.png" width="70" height="70" alt="radial-gradient" /></a> |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>This FX expression adds random noise to an image:</p> |
| |
| <p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert photo.jpg -fx 'iso=32; rone=rand(); rtwo=rand(); \<br /> |
| myn=sqrt(-2*ln(rone))*cos(2*Pi*rtwo); myntwo=sqrt(-2*ln(rtwo))* \<br /> |
| cos(2*Pi*rone); pnoise=sqrt(p)*myn*sqrt(iso)* \ <br /> |
| channel(4.28,3.86,6.68,0)/255; max(0,p+pnoise)' noisy.png</span></p> |
| <p>See <a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/transform/index.html#fx">Using FX, The Special Effects Image Operator</a> for more examples.</p> |

| <li>symbols are case insensitive</li> |
| <li>only one ternary conditional (e.g. x ? y : z) per statement</li> |
| <li>statements are assignments or the final expression to return</li> |
| <li>an assignment starts a statement, it is not an operator</li> |
| <li>assignments to built-ins do not throw an exception and have no effect; e.g. <kbd>r=3.0; r</kbd> returns the pixel red color value, not 3.0</li> |
| <li>Unary operators have a lower priority than binary operators, that is, the unary minus (negation) has lower precedence than exponentiation, so -3^2 is interpreted as -(3^2) = -9. Use parentheses to clarify your intent (e.g. (-3)^2 = 9).</li> |
| <li>Similarly, care must be exercised when using the slash ('/') symbol. The string of characters <em>1/2x</em> is interpreted as (1/2)x. The contrary interpretation should be written explicitly as 1/(2x). Again, the use of parentheses helps clarify the meaning and should be used whenever there is any chance of misinterpretation.</li> |

| <h3>Source Images</h3> |
| <div class="doc-section"> |
| |
| <p>The symbols <kbd>u</kbd> and <kbd>v</kbd> refer to the first and second images, respectively, in the current image sequence. Refer to a particular image in a sequence by appending its index to any image reference (usually <kbd>u</kbd>), with a zero index for the beginning of the sequence. A negative index counts from the end. For example, <kbd>u[0]</kbd> is the first image in the sequence, <kbd>u[2]</kbd> is the third, <kbd>u[-1]</kbd> is the last image, and <kbd>u[t]</kbd> is the current image. The current image can also be referenced by <kbd>s</kbd>. If the sequence number exceeds the length of the sequence, the count is wrapped. Thus in a 3-image sequence, <kbd>u[-1]</kbd>, <kbd>u[2]</kbd>, and <kbd>u[5]</kbd> all refer to the same (third) image.</p> |
| |
| <p>As an example, we form an image by averaging the first image and third images:</p> |
| |
| <p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert image1.jpg image2.jpg image3.jpg -fx "(u+u[2])/2.0" image.jpg</span></p> |
| <p>By default, the image to which <kbd>p</kbd>, <kbd>r</kbd>, <kbd>g</kbd>, <kbd>b</kbd>, <kbd>a</kbd>, etc., are applied is the first image <kbd>u</kbd> in the image list, which may also be referenced using <kbd>s</kbd>. </p> |
| |
| <p>It is important to note the special role played by the first image. This is the only image in the image sequence that is modified, other images are used only for their data. As an illustrative example, consider the following, and note that the setting <a href="../www/command-line-options.html#channel">-channel red</a> instructs <a href="../www/command-line-options.html#fx">-fx</a> to modify only the red channel; nothing in the green or blue channels will change. It is instructive to ponder why the result is not symmetric.</p> |
| |
| <p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert -channel red logo: -flop logo: -resize "20%" -fx "(u+v)/2" image.jpg</span></p> |

| <h3>Accessing Pixels</h3> |
| <div class="doc-section"> |
| |
| <p>All color values are normalized to the range of 0.0 to 1.0. The alpha channel ranges from 0.0 (fully transparent) to 1.0 (fully opaque).</p> |
| |
| <p>The pixels are processed one at a time, but a different pixel of an image can be specified using a pixel index represented by <kbd>p</kbd>. For example,</p> |
| |
| <pre class="text"> |
| p[-1].g green value of pixel to the immediate left of the current pixel |
| p[-1,-1].r red value of the pixel diagonally left and up from current pixel |
| </pre> |
| |
| <p>To specify an absolute position, use braces, rather than brackets.</p> |
| |
| <pre class="text"> |
| p{0,0}.r red value of the pixel in the upper left corner of the image |
| p{12,34}.b blue pixel value at column number 12, row 34 of the image |
| </pre> |
| |
| <p>Integer values of the position retrieve the color of the pixel referenced, while non-integer position values return a blended color according to the current <a href="../www/command-line-options.html#interpolate">-interpolate</a> setting.</p> |
| |
| <p>A position outside the boundary of the image retrieves a value dictated by the <a href="../www/command-line-options.html#virtual-pixel">-virtual-pixel</a> option setting.</p> |
| |
| </div> |
| |
| <h3>Apply an Expression to Select Image Channels</h3> |
| <div class="doc-section"> |
| |
| <p>Use the <a href="../www/command-line-options.html#channel">-channel</a> setting to specify the output channel of the result. If no output channel is given, the result is set over all channels except the opacity channel. For example, to replace the red channel of <kbd>alpha.png</kbd> with the average of the green channels from the images <kbd>alpha.png</kbd> and <kbd>beta.png</kbd>, use:</p> |
| |
| <p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert alpha.png beta.png -channel red -fx "(u.g+v.g)/2" gamma.png</span></p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <h3>Results</h3> |
| <div class="doc-section"> |
| |
| <p>The <a href="../www/command-line-options.html#fx">-fx</a> operator evaluates the given expression for each channel (set by <a href="../www/command-line-options.html#channel">-channel</a>) of each pixel in the first image (<kbd>u</kbd>) in the sequence. The computed values are temporarily stored in a copy (clone) of that first image until all the pixels have been processed, after which this single new image replaces the list of images in the current image sequence. As such, in the previous example the updated version of <kbd>alpha.png</kbd> replaces both of the original images, <kbd>alpha.png</kbd> and <kbd>beta.png</kbd>, before being saved as <kbd>gamma.png</kbd>.</p> |
| |
| <p>The current image <kbd>s</kbd> is set to the first image in the sequence (<kbd>u</kbd>), and <kbd>t</kbd> to its index, 0. The symbols <kbd>i</kbd> and <kbd>j</kbd> reference the current pixel being processed.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p>For use with <a href="../www/command-line-options.html#format_identify_">-format</a>, the value-escape <kbd>%[fx: ]</kbd> is evaluated just once for each image in the current image sequence. As each image in the sequence is being evaluated, <kbd>s</kbd> and <kbd>t</kbd> successively refer to the current image and its index, while <kbd>i</kbd> and <kbd>j</kbd> are set to zero, and the current channel set to red (<a href="../www/command-line-options.html#channel">-channel</a> is ignored). An example:</p> |
| |
| <p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert canvas:'rgb(25%,50%,75%)' rose: -colorspace rgb \ <br/> |
| -format 'Red channel of NW corner of image #%[fx:t] is %[fx: s]' info:</span><span class='crtout'>Red channel of NW corner of image #0 is 0.453758 <br/> |
| Red channel of NW corner of image #1 is 0.184588</span></p> |
| <p>Here we use the image indexes to <em>rotate</em> each image differently, and use <kbd>-set</kbd> with the image index to set a different <em>pause delay</em> on the first image in the animation:</p> |
| |
| <p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert rose: -duplicate 29 -virtual-pixel Gray -distort SRT '%[fx:360.0*t/n]' \ <br /> |
| -set delay '%[fx:t == 0 ? 240 : 10]' -loop 0 rose.gif</span></p><p>The color-escape <kbd>%[pixel: ]</kbd> is evaluated once per image and per color channel in that image (<a href="../www/command-line-options.html#channel">-channel</a> is ignored), The values generated are then converted into a color string (a named color or hex color value). The symbols <kbd>i</kbd> and <kbd>j</kbd> are set to zero, and <kbd>s</kbd> and <kbd>t</kbd> refer to each successively current image and index.</p> |
