19 <meta name="Description" content="ImageMagick® is a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images. It can read, convert and write images in a variety of formats (about 100) including GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, TIFF, and DPX. 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. ImageMagick is free software delivered as a ready-to-run binary distribution or as source code that you can freely use, copy, modify, and distribute. Its license is compatible with the GPL. It runs on all major operating systems. The functionality of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command line or you can use the features from programs written in your favorite programming language. Choose from these interfaces: MagickCore (C), MagickWand (C), ChMagick (Ch), Magick++ (C++), JMagick (Java), L-Magick (Lisp), PascalMagick (Pascal), PerlMagick (Perl), MagickWand for PHP (PHP), PythonMagick (Python), RMagick (Ruby), or TclMagick (Tcl/TK). With a language interface, use ImageMagick to modify or create images automagically and dynamically."/>

161<p>The <a href="../www/api/MagickWand/index.html">MagickWand API</a> is the recommended interface between the C programming language and the ImageMagick image processing libraries. Unlike the <a href="../www/magick-core.html">MagickCore</a> C API, MagickWand uses only a few opaque types. Accessors are available to set or get important wand properties. A description of the MagickWand public methods are found here:</p>

175
176<p>After you write your MagickWand program, compile it like this:</p>
177
178<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>cc `MagickWand-config --cflags --cppflags` -o wand wand.c `MagickWand-config --ldflags --libs`</span></p>
179<p>Here is a example program that utilizes the MagickWand API to get you started, <a href="../www/source/wand.c">wand.c</a>. It reads an image, creates a thumbnail, and writes the result to disk.</p>
