228
229<p>We list a few examples of the <kbd>import</kbd> command here to illustrate its usefulness and ease of use. To get started, lets import an image in the JPEG format:</p>
230
231<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>import rose.jpg</span></p>
232<p>To capture the entire X server screen in the Postscript image format:</p>
233
234<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>import -window root screen.ps</span></p>
235<p>You can find additional examples of using <kbd>import</kbd> in <a href="http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-graf/?ca=dnt-428">Graphics from the Command Line</a>. Further discussion is available in <a href="http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-graf2/?ca=dgr-lnxw15GraphicsLine">More Graphics from the Command Line</a> and <a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/">Examples of ImageMagick Usage</a>.</p>
