cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +000064
65<p>ImageMagick depends on a number of external configuration files detailed here:</p>

cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +000069 <dd>Associate an image format with the specified coder module.
70
cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +000071 ImageMagick has a number of coder modules to support the reading and/or writing of an image format (e.g. JPEG). Some coder modules support more than one associated image format and the mapping between an associated format and its respective coder module is defined in this configuration file. For example, the PNG coder module not only supports the PNG image format, but the JNG and MNG formats as well.

76
Cristyce4a3552015-12-14 13:53:35 -050077 A number of command line options require a <a href="color.html">color parameter</a>. It is often convenient to refer to a color by name (e.g. white) rather than by hex value (e.g. #fff). This file maps a color name to its equivalent red, green, blue, and alpha intensities (e.g. for white, red = 255, green = 255, blue = 255, and alpha = 0).

cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +000082 As ImageMagick is built, a number of build parameters are saved to this configuration file. They include the version, release date, dependent delegate libraries, and quantum depth among others.

87
cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +000088 ImageMagick relies on a number of delegate programs to support certain image formats such as <a href="http://ufraw.sourceforge.net/">ufraw-batch</a> to read raw camera formats or <a href="http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/">Ghostscript</a> to read Postscript images. Use this configuration file to map an input or output format to an external delegate program.

99
cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000100 ImageMagick has a number of informational, warning, and error messages that are represented as tags. Tags are short descriptions of a message such as
101 <var>FileNotFound</var> or <var>MemoryAllocationFailed</var>. This configuration file lists locales that have a translation for each tag recognized by ImageMagick. Currently only English and French translations are available in the <code>english.xml</code> and <code>francais.xml</code> configuration files.

cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000106 ImageMagick is capable of spewing copious amounts of informational or debugging statements. Use this file to configure how the information will appear in a log message and where you want the logging messages posted.

cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000111 Many image formats have identifiers that uniquely identify a particular image format. For example, the GIF image format always begins with <code>GIF8</code> as the first 4 characters of the image. ImageMagick uses this information to quickly determine the type of image it is dealing with when it reads an image.

cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000115 <dd>Associate an internet media type with a unique identifier.
cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000116 Many files and data streams have identifiers that uniquely identify a
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000117particular internet media type. For example, files in the "Corel Draw
118drawing" format (mime type="application/vnd.corel-draw") are associated with
cristy8ee7f242013-06-20 16:08:44 +0000119the filename pattern <code>*.cdr</code>, and also have an initial string of the
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000120characters "CDRXvrsn". ImageMagick uses combinations of this information,
121when available, to attempt to quickly determine the internet media type of a
cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000122file or data stream.

cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000126 <dd>Configure ImageMagick policies.
cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000127 By default any coder, delegate, filter, or file path is permitted. Use a policy to deny access to, for example, the MPEG video delegate, or permit reading images from a file system but deny writing to that same file system. Or use the resource policy to set resource limits. Policies are useful for multi-user servers that want to limit the overall impact ImageMagick has on the system. For example, to limit the maximum image size in memory to 100MB:
cristyd75d5d12010-02-16 02:04:50 +0000128
cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000129<pre>
Cristy594d2772015-11-15 10:47:42 -0500130&lt;policy domain="resource" name="area" value="100MB"/>
cristyd75d5d12010-02-16 02:04:50 +0000131</pre>
132
cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000133Any image larger than this area limit is cached to disk rather than memory.
cristyd75d5d12010-02-16 02:04:50 +0000134
cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000135Use <code>width</code> to limit the maximum width of an image in pixels. Exceed this limit and an exception is thrown and processing stops.

140
cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000141To limit the elapsed time of any ImageMagick command to 5 minutes, use this policy:
cristyd75d5d12010-02-16 02:04:50 +0000142
cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000143<pre>

cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000146Define arguments for the memory, map, area, and disk resources with SI prefixes (.e.g 100MB). In addition, resource policies are maximums for each instance of ImageMagick (e.g. policy memory limit 1GB, the <code>-limit 2GB</code> option exceeds policy maximum so memory limit is 1GB). </dd>
