Introduction to ImageMagick
-ImageMagick® is a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images.
-It can read, convert and write images in a variety of formats (over 100)
-including DPX, EXR, GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PDF, PhotoCD, PNG, Postscript, SVG,
-and TIFF. 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.

-L-Magick (Lisp), NMagick (Neko/haXe), MagickNet (.NET), PascalMagick (Pascal),
-PerlMagick (Perl), MagickWand for PHP (PHP), IMagick (PHP), PythonMagick
-(Python), RMagick (Ruby), or TclMagick (Tcl/TK). With a language interface,
-use ImageMagick to modify or create images dynamically and automagically.
