cristy	d0bd44a	2010-09-24 12:38:11 +0000	[diff] [blame]	1904	is used as a displacement map, which is used to displace the lookup of
cristy	3ed852e	2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000	[diff] [blame]	1905	what part of the 'background' image is seen at each point of the overlaid
				1906	area. Much like the displacement map is a 'lens' that redirects light shining
				1907	through it so as to present a distorted view the original 'background' image
				1908	behind it. </p>
				1909
				1910	<p>Any perfect grey areas of the displacement map produce a zero
				1911	displacement of the image. Black areas produce the given maximum negative
				1912	displacement of the lookup point, while white produce a maximum positive
				1913	displacement of the lookup. </p>
				1914
				1915	<p>Note that it is the lookup of the 'background' that is displaced, not a
				1916	displacement of the image itself. As such an area of the displacement map
				1917	containing 'white' will have the lookup point 'shifted' by a positive amount,
				1918	and thus generating a copy of the destination image to the right/downward from
				1919	the correct position. That is the image will look like it may have been
				1920	'shifted' in a negative left/upward direction. Understanding this is a very
				1921	important in understanding how displacement maps work. </p>
				1922
				1923	<p>The given arguments define the maximum amount of displacement in pixels
				1924	that a particular map can produce. If the displacement scale is large enough
cristy	d0bda5e	2010-09-21 16:22:45 +0000	[diff] [blame]	1925	it is also possible to lookup parts of the 'background' image that lie well
cristy	3ed852e	2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000	[diff] [blame]	1926	outside the bounds of the displacement map itself. That is you could very
cristy	d0bda5e	2010-09-21 16:22:45 +0000	[diff] [blame]	1927	easily copy a section of the original image from outside the overlay area
cristy	3ed852e	2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000	[diff] [blame]	1928	into the overlay area. </p>
				1929
				1930	<p>The '%' flag makes the displacement scale relative to the size of the
				1931	overlay image (100% = half width/height of image). Using '!' switches
				1932	percentage arguments to refer to the destination image size instead.
				1933	these flags were added as of IM v6.5.3-5.</p>
				1934
				1935	<p>Normally a single grayscale displacement map is provided, which with the

cristy	d0bda5e	2010-09-21 16:22:45 +0000	[diff] [blame]	1937	displacements can occur (positively or negatively). However, if you also

cristy	d0bd44a	2010-09-24 12:38:11 +0000	[diff] [blame]	1939	the <em class="arg">composite image</em> is used for horizontal X
cristy	3ed852e	2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000	[diff] [blame]	1940	displacement, while the <em class="arg">mask image</em> is used for vertical Y
				1941	displacement. This allows you to define completely different displacement
				1942	values for the X and Y directions, and allowing you to lookup any point within
				1943	the <em class="arg">scale</em> bounds. In other words each pixel can lookup
cristy	d0bda5e	2010-09-21 16:22:45 +0000	[diff] [blame]	1944	any other nearby pixel, producing complex 2 dimensional displacements, rather

				2345	<p>If more that the required number of coordinate pairs are given for

cristy	d0bd44a	2010-09-24 12:38:11 +0000	[diff] [blame]	2359	magnified. However if the viewed image is minified (image becomes smaller),
				2360	a special area resampling function (added ImageMagick v6.3.5-9), is used to

cristy	3ed852e	2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000	[diff] [blame]	2369	<p>Note that a infinitely tiled perspective images involving the horizon can
				2370	be very slow to generate due to the use of the high quality 'area resampling'
				2371	function (added ImageMagick v6.3.5-9). You can turn off 'area resampling'
				2372	using a <a href="#filter" >-filter</a> setting of '<kbd>point</kbd>'
				2373	(recommended if you plan to use super-sampling instead). </p>
				2374

				2379	the rest of the ground. </p>
				2380
				2381	<p>The output image size will by default be the same as the input image. This
				2382	means that if the part of the distorted image falls outside the viewed area of
cristy	d0bd44a	2010-09-24 12:38:11 +0000	[diff] [blame]	2383	the 'distorted space', those parts is clipped and lost. However if you use

				2385	will attempt (if possible) to show the whole of the distorted image, while
				2386	retaining a correct 'virtual canvas' offset, for image layering. This offset
				2387	may need to be removed using <a href="#repage" >+repage</a>, to remove if it

cristy	3ed852e	2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000	[diff] [blame]	2389

				2394
				2395	<p>Adding a "<kbd><a href="#set" >-set</a> option:distort:scale
				2396	{scale_factor}</kbd>" will scale the output image (viewport or otherwise) by
				2397	that factor without changing the viewed contents of the distorted image. This
				2398	can be used either for 'super-sampling' the image for a higher quality result,
				2399	or for panning and zooming around the image (with appropriate viewport
				2400	changes, or post-distort cropping and resizing). </p>
				2401
				2402	<p>Setting <a href="#verbose" >-verbose</a> setting, will cause <a

				2440
				2441	<p>Use this option to annotate or decorate an image with one or more graphic primitives. The primitives include shapes, text, transformations, and pixel operations.</p>
				2442
				2443	<p>The shape primitives:</p>
				2444
				2445	<pre class="text">
				2446	point x,y
				2447	line x0,y0 x1,y1
				2448	rectangle x0,y0 x1,y1

				2458	</pre>
				2459
				2460	<p>The text primitive:</p>
				2461
				2462	<pre class="text">
				2463	text x0,y0 string
				2464	</pre>
				2465	<p>The text gravity primitive:</p>
				2466
				2467	<pre class="text">
				2468	gravity NorthWest, North, NorthEast, West, Center,
				2469	East, SouthWest, South, or SouthEast
				2470	</pre>
				2471
				2472	<p>The text gravity primitive only affects the placement of text and does not interact with the other primitives. It is equivalent to using the <a href="#gravity">-gravity</a> command-line option, except that it is limited in scope to the <a href="#draw">-draw</a> option in which it appears.</p>
				2473
				2474	<p>The transformation primitives:</p>
				2475
				2476	<pre class="text">
				2477	rotate degrees
				2478	translate dx,dy
				2479	scale sx,sy
				2480	skewX degrees
				2481	skewY degrees
				2482	</pre>
				2483
				2484	<p>The pixel operation primitives:</p>
				2485
				2486	<pre class="text">
				2487	color x0,y0 method
				2488	matte x0,y0 method
				2489	</pre>
				2490
				2491	<p>The shape primitives are drawn in the color specified by the preceding <a href="#fill">-fill</a> setting. For unfilled shapes, use <a href="#fill">-fill none</a>. You can optionally control the stroke (the "outline" of a shape) with the <a href="#stroke">-stroke</a> and <a href="#strokewidth">-strokewidth</a> settings.</p>
				2492
				2493	<p>A <kbd>point</kbd> primitive is specified by a single <em>point</em> in the pixel plane, that is, by an ordered pair of integer coordinates, <em>x</em>,<em>y</em>. (As it involves only a single pixel, a <kbd>point</kbd> primitive is not affected by <a href="#stroke">-stroke</a> or <a href="#strokewidth">-strokewidth</a>.)</p>
				2494
				2495	<p>A <kbd>line</kbd> primitive requires a start point and end point.</p>
				2496
				2497	<p>A <kbd>rectangle</kbd> primitive is specified by the pair of points at the upper left and lower right corners.</p>
				2498
				2499	<p>A <kbd>roundRectangle</kbd> primitive takes the same corner points as a <kbd>rectangle</kbd> followed by the width and height of the rounded corners to be removed.</p>
				2500
				2501	<p>The <kbd>circle</kbd> primitive makes a disk (filled) or circle (unfilled). Give the center and any point on the perimeter (boundary).</p>
				2502
				2503	<p>The <kbd>arc</kbd> primitive is used to inscribe an elliptical segment in to a given rectangle. An <kbd>arc</kbd> requires the two corners used for <kbd>rectangle</kbd> (see above) followed by the start and end angles of the arc of the segment segment (e.g. 130,30 200,100 45,90). The start and end points produced are then joined with a line segment and the resulting segment of an ellipse is filled.</p>
				2504
				2505	<p>Use <kbd>ellipse</kbd> to draw a partial (or whole) ellipse. Give the center point, the horizontal and vertical "radii" (the <em>semi-axes</em> of the ellipse) and start and end angles in degrees (e.g. 100,100 100,150 0,360).</p>
				2506
				2507	<p>The <kbd>polyline</kbd> and <kbd>polygon</kbd> primitives require three or more points to define their perimeters. A <kbd>polyline</kbd> is simply a <kbd>polygon</kbd> in which the final point is not stroked to the start point. When unfilled, this is a <em>polygonal line</em>. If the <a href="#stroke">-stroke</a> setting is <kbd>none</kbd> (the default), then a <kbd>polyline</kbd> is identical to a <kbd>polygon</kbd>.
				2508	</p>
				2509
				2510	<p>A <em>coordinate</em> is a pair of integers separated by a space or optional comma. </p>
				2511
				2512	<p>As an example, to define a circle centered at 100,100 that extends to 150,150 use:</p>
				2513
				2514	<p class="crtsnip">
				2515	-draw 'circle 100,100 150,150'
				2516	</p>
				2517
				2518	<p>The <kbd>Bezier</kbd> primitive creates a spline curve and requires three or points to define its shape. The first and last points are the <em>knots</em> and these points are attained by the curve, while any intermediate coordinates are <em>control points</em>. If two control points are specified, the line between each end knot and its sequentially respective control point determines the tangent direction of the curve at that end. If one control point is specified, the lines from the end knots to the one control point determines the tangent directions of the curve at each end. If more than two control points are specified, then the additional control points act in combination to determine the intermediate shape of the curve. In order to
				2519	draw complex curves, it is highly recommended either to use the <kbd>path</kbd> primitive or to draw multiple four-point bezier segments with the start and end knots of each successive segment repeated. For example:</p>
				2520
				2521	<p class="crtsnip">
				2522	-draw 'bezier 20,50 45,100 45,0 70,50'
				2523	</p>
				2524	<p class="crtsnip">
				2525	-draw 'bezier 70,50 95,100 95,0 120,50'
				2526	</p>
				2527
				2528
				2529	<p>A <kbd>path</kbd> represents an outline of an object, defined in terms of moveto (set a new current point), lineto (draw a straight line), curveto (draw a Bezier curve), arc (elliptical or circular arc) and closepath (close the current shape by drawing a line to the last moveto) elements. Compound paths (i.e., a path with subpaths, each consisting of a single moveto followed by one or more line or curve operations) are possible to allow effects such as <em>donut holes</em> in objects. (See <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/paths.html">Paths</a>.)</p>
				2530
				2531	<p>Use <kbd>image</kbd> to composite an image with another image. Follow the image keyword with the composite operator, image location, image size, and filename:</p>
				2532
				2533	<p class="crtsnip">
				2534	-draw 'image SrcOver 100,100 225,225 image.jpg'
				2535	</p>
				2536
cristy	bc9539a	2010-08-16 18:06:20 +0000	[diff] [blame]	2537	<p>You can use 0,0 for the image size, which means to use the actual
				2538	dimensions found in the image header. Otherwise, it is scaled to the given
				2539	dimensions. See <a href="../www/compose.html">Alpha Compositing</a> for
				2540	a detailed discussion of alpha composition methods that are available. </p>
cristy	3ed852e	2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000	[diff] [blame]	2541
				2542	<p>Use <kbd>text</kbd> to annotate an image with text. Follow the text coordinates with a string. If the string has embedded spaces, enclose it in single or double quotes.</p>
				2543
				2544	<p>For example, the following annotates the image with <kbd>Works like magick!</kbd> for an image titled <kbd>bird.miff</kbd>. </p>
				2545
				2546	<p class="crtsnip">
				2547	-draw 'text 100,100 "Works like magick!"'
				2548	</p>
				2549
				2550	<p>See the <a href="#annotate">-annotate</a> option for another convenient way to annotate an image with text.</p>
				2551
				2552	<p>The <kbd>rotate</kbd> primitive rotates subsequent shape primitives and text primitives about the origin of the main image. If the <a href="#region">-region</a> option precedes the <a href="#draw">-draw</a> option, the origin for transformations is the upper left corner of the region.</p>
				2553
				2554	<p>The <kbd>translate</kbd> primitive translates subsequent shape and text primitives.</p>
				2555
				2556	<p>The <kbd>scale</kbd> primitive scales them.</p>
				2557
				2558	<p>The <kbd>skewX</kbd> and <kbd>skewY</kbd> primitives skew them with respect to the origin of the main image or the region.</p>
				2559
				2560	<p>The transformations modify the current affine matrix, which is initialized from the initial affine matrix defined by the <a href="#affine">-affine</a> option. Transformations are cumulative within the <a href="#draw">-draw</a> option. The initial affine matrix is not affected; that matrix is only changed by the appearance of another <a href="#affine">-affine</a> option. If another <a href="#draw">-draw</a> option appears, the current affine matrix is reinitialized from the initial affine
				2561	matrix.</p>
				2562
				2563	<p>Use the <kbd>color</kbd> primitive to change the color of a pixel to the fill color (see <a href="#fill">-fill</a>). Follow the pixel coordinate with a method:</p>
				2564
				2565	<pre class="text">
				2566	point
				2567	replace
				2568	floodfill
				2569	filltoborder
				2570	reset
				2571	</pre>
				2572
				2573	<p>Consider the target pixel as that specified by your coordinate. The <kbd>point</kbd> method recolors the target pixel. The <kbd>replace</kbd> method recolors any pixel that matches the color of the target pixel. <kbd>Floodfill</kbd> recolors any pixel that matches the color of the target pixel and is a neighbor, whereas <kbd>filltoborder</kbd> recolors any neighbor pixel that is not the border color. Finally, <kbd>reset</kbd> recolors all pixels.</p>
				2574
				2575	<p>Use <kbd>matte</kbd> to the change the pixel matte value to transparent. Follow the pixel coordinate with a method (see the <kbd>color</kbd> primitive for a description of methods). The <kbd>point</kbd> method changes the matte value of the target pixel. The <kbd>replace</kbd> method changes the matte value of any pixel that matches the color of the target pixel. <kbd>Floodfill</kbd> changes the matte value of any pixel that matches the color of the target pixel and is a neighbor, whereas <kbd>filltoborder</kbd> changes the matte value of any neighbor pixel that is not the border color (<a href="#bordercolor">-bordercolor</a>). Finally <kbd>reset</kbd> changes the matte value of all pixels.</p>
				2576
				2577	<p>You can set the primitive color, font, and font bounding box color with <a href="#fill">-fill</a>, <a href="#font">-font</a>, and <a href="#box">-box</a> respectively. Options are processed in command line order so be sure to use these options <em>before</em> the <a href="#draw">-draw</a> option.</p>
				2578
				2579	<p>Strings that begin with a number must be quoted (e.g. use '1.png' rather than 1.png).</p>
				2580
				2581	<p>Drawing primitives conform to the <a href="../www/magick-vector-graphics.html">Magick Vector Graphics</a> format.</p>

cristy	dcca3fa	2010-12-29 21:50:07 +0000	[diff] [blame]	2853	<p>This option is new as of ImageMagick 6.5.4-3 (and now working for Windows users in ImageMagick 6.6.0-9). It transforms an image from the normal (spatial) domain to the frequency domain. In the frequency domain, an image is represented as a superposition of complex sinusoidal waves of varying amplitudes. The image x and y coordinates are the possible frequencies along the x and y directions, respectively, and the pixel intensity values are complex numbers that correspond to the sinusoidal wave amplitudes. See for example, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier_transform">Fourier Transform</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DFT">Discrete Fourier Transform</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFT">Fast Fourier Transform</a>.</p>

cristy	dcca3fa	2010-12-29 21:50:07 +0000	[diff] [blame]	2855	<p>A single image name is provided as output for this option. However, the output result will have two components. It is either a two-frame image or two separate images, depending upon whether the image format specified supports multi-frame images. The reason that we get a dual output result is because the frequency domain represents an image using complex numbers, which cannot be visualized directly. Therefore, the complex values are automagically separated into a two-component image representation. The first component is the magnitude of the complex number and the second is the phase of the complex number. See for example, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_numbers">Complex Numbers</a>.</p>
cristy	3ed852e	2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000	[diff] [blame]	2856
				2857	<p>The magnitude and phase component images must be specified using image formats that do not limit the color or compress the image. Thus, MIFF, TIF, PFM, EXR and PNG are the recommended image formats to use. All of these formats, except PNG support multi-frame images. So for example,</p>
				2858
				2859	<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert image.png -fft fft_image.miff</span></p>
				2860	<p>generates a magnitude image as <kbd>fft_image.miff[0]</kbd> and a phase image as <kbd>fft_image.miff[1]</kbd>. Similarly,</p>
				2861
				2862	<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert image.png -fft fft_image.png</span></p>
				2863	<p>generates a magnitude image as <kbd>fft_image-0.png</kbd> and a phase image as <kbd>fft_image-1.png</kbd>. If you prefer this representation, then you can force any of the other formats to produce two output images by including <a href="#adjoin">+adjoin</a> following -fft in the command line.</p>
				2864
cristy	d0bd44a	2010-09-24 12:38:11 +0000	[diff] [blame]	2865	<p>The input image can be any size, but if not square and even-dimensioned, it is padded automagically to the larger of the width or height of the input image and to an even number of pixels. The padding will occur at the bottom and/or right sides of the input image. The resulting output magnitude and phase images is square at this size. The kind of padding relies on the <a href="#virtual-pixel">-virtual-pixel</a> setting.</p>
cristy	3ed852e	2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000	[diff] [blame]	2866
				2867	<p>Both output components will have dynamic ranges that fit within [0, <em class="QR">QuantumRange</em>], so that HDRI need not be enabled. Phase values nominally range from 0 to 2*π, but for non-HDRI compilations of ImageMagick, the phase image is scaled to span the full dynamic range. The magnitude image is not scaled and thus generally will contain very small values. As such, the image normally will appear totally black. In order to view any detail, the magnitude image typically is enhanced with a log function into what is usually called the spectrum. A log function is used to enhance the darker values more in comparison to the lighter values. This can be done, for example, as follows:</p>
				2868
				2869	<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert fft_image.miff[0] -contrast-stretch 0 \ <br />
				2870	-evaluate log 1000 fft_image_spectrum.png</span></p>
				2871	<p>where the <a href="#contrast-stretch">-contrast-stretch</a> 0 is used to scale the image to full dynamic range, first. The argument to the <a href="#evaluate">-evaluate</a> log typically is specified between 100 and 10,000, depending upon the amount of detail that one wants to bring out in the spectrum. Larger values produce more visible detail. Too much detail, however, may hide the important features.</p>
				2872
cristy	dcca3fa	2010-12-29 21:50:07 +0000	[diff] [blame]	2873	<p>The <a href="http://www.fftw.org/">FFTW</a> delegate library is required to use <a href="#fft">-fft</a>.</p>
cristy	3ed852e	2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000	[diff] [blame]	2874
				2875	<p>Use <a href="#fft">+fft</a> to produce two output images that are the real and imaginary components of the complex valued Fourier transform.</p>
				2876
				2877	<p>However, as the real and imaginary components can contain negative values, this requires that IM be configured with HDRI enabled. In this case, you must use either MIFF, TIF or PFM formats for the real and imaginary component results, since they are formats that preserve both negative and fractional values without clipping them or truncating the fractional part.</p>

				3334	<p>The same color image displayed on two different workstations may look different due to differences in the display monitor. Use gamma correction to adjust for this color difference. Reasonable values extend from <kbd>0.8</kbd> to <kbd>2.3</kbd>. Gamma less than 1.0 darkens the image and gamma greater than 1.0 lightens it. Large adjustments to image gamma may result in the loss of some image information if the pixel quantum size is only eight bits (quantum range 0 to 255).</p>

				3336	<p>Gamma adjusts the image's channel values pixel-by-pixel according to a power law, namely, pow(pixel,1/gamma) or pixel^(1/gamma), where pixel is the normalized or 0 to 1 color value. For example, using a value of gamma=2 is the same as taking the square root of the image.</p>

				3403
				3404	<p>If a <a href="#gravity">-gravity</a> setting occurs before another option or setting having a <em class="arg">geometry</em> argument that specifies an offset, the offset is usually applied to the point within the image suggested by the <a href="#gravity">-gravity</a> argument. Thus, in the following command, for example, suppose the file <kbd>image.png</kbd> has dimensions 200x100. The offset specified by the argument to <a href="#region">-region</a> is (−40,+20). The argument to <a href="#gravity">-gravity</a> is <kbd>Center</kbd>, which suggests the midpoint of the image, at the point (100,50). The offset (−40,20) is applied to that point, giving (100−40,50+20)=(60,70), so the specified 10x10 region is located at that point. (In addition, the <a href="#gravity">-gravity</a> affects the region itself, which is <em>centered</em> at the pixel coordinate (60,70).

cristy	3ed852e	2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000	[diff] [blame]	4032	<p>Requests for pixel storage to keep intermediate images are satisfied by one of three resource categories: in-memory pool, memory-mapped files pool, and disk pool (in that order) depending on the <a href="../www/command-line-options.html#limit">‑limit</a> settings and whether the system honors a resource request. If the total size of allocated pixel storage in the given pool reaches the corresponding limit, the request is passed to the next pool. Additionally, requests that exceed the <kbd>area</kbd> limit automagically are allocated on disk.</p>
				4033
				4034	<p>To illustrate how ImageMagick utilizes resource limits, consider a typical image resource request. First, ImageMagick tries to allocate the pixels in memory. The request might be denied if the resource request exceeds the <kbd>memory</kbd> limit or if the system does not honor the request. If a memory request is not honored, the pixels are allocated to disk and the file is memory-mapped. However, if the allocation request exceeds the <kbd>map</kbd> limit, the resource allocation goes to disk. In all cases, if the resource request exceeds the <kbd>area</kbd> limit, the pixels are automagically cached to disk. If the disk has a hard limit, the program fails.</p>
				4035
				4036	<p>In most cases you simply do not need to concern yourself with resource limits. ImageMagick chooses reasonable defaults and most images do not tax your computer resources. Where limits do come in handy is when you process images that are large or on shared systems where ImageMagick can consume all or most of the available memory. In this case, the ImageMagick workflow slows other processes or, in extreme cases, brings the system to a halt. Under these circumstances, setting limits give some assurances that the ImageMagick workflow will not interfere with other concurrent uses of the computer. For example, assume you have a web interface that processes images uploaded from the Internet. To assure ImageMagick does not exceed 10mb of memory you can simply set the area limit to 10mb:</p>
				4037
				4038	<p class="crtsnip">
				4039	-limit area 10mb
				4040	</p>
				4041
cristy	d0bda5e	2010-09-21 16:22:45 +0000	[diff] [blame]	4042	<p>Now whenever a large image is processed, the pixels are automagically cached to disk instead of memory. This of course implies that large images typically process very slowly, simply because pixel processing in memory can be an order of magnitude faster than on disk. Because your web site users might inadvertently upload a huge image to process, you should set a disk limit as well:</p>
cristy	3ed852e	2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000	[diff] [blame]	4043
				4044	<p class="crtsnip">
				4045	-limit area 10mb -limit disk 500mb
				4046	</p>
				4047
				4048	<p>Here ImageMagick stops processing if an image requires more than 500MB of disk storage.</p>
				4049
				4050	<p>In addition to command-line resource limit option, resources can be set with <a href="../www/resources.html#environment">environment variables</a>. Set the environment variables <kbd>MAGICK_AREA_LIMIT</kbd>, <kbd>MAGICK_DISK_LIMIT</kbd>, <kbd>MAGICK_FILE_LIMIT</kbd>, <kbd>MAGICK_MEMORY_LIMIT</kbd>, <kbd>MAGICK_MAP_LIMIT</kbd>, <kbd>MAGICK_THREAD_LIMIT</kbd>, <kbd>MAGICK_TIME_LIMIT</kbd> for limits of image area, disk space, open files, heap memory, memory map, number of threads of execution, and maximum elapsed time in seconds respectively.</p>
				4051
				4052	<p> Inquisitive users can try adding <a href="#debug">-debug cache</a> to their commands and then scouring the generated output for references to the pixel cache, in order to determine how the pixel cache was allocated and how resources were consumed. Advanced Unix/Linux users can pipe that output through <kbd>grep memory\|open\|destroy\|disk</kbd> for more readable sifting.

When used for this purpose the offsets are always measured from the top left corner of the canvas and are not affected by the <a href="#gravity">-gravity</a> option. To position a GIF or MNG image, use <a href="#page">-page</a><em class="arg">{+-}x{+-}y</em> (e.g. -page +100+200). When writing to a MNG file, a <a href="#page">-page</a> option appearing ahead of the first image in the sequence with nonzero width and height defines the width and height values that are written in the <kbd>MHDR</kbd> chunk. Otherwise, the MNG width and height are computed from the bounding box that contains all images in the sequence. When writing a GIF89 file, only the bounding box method is used to determine its dimensions.</p>

Use <a href="#page">-page 612x792</a>, for example, to center the image within the page. If the image size exceeds the PostScript page, it is reduced to fit the page. The default gravity for the <a href="#page">-page</a> option is <em class="arg">NorthWest</em>, i.e., positive <kbd>x</kbd> and <kbd>y</kbd> <em class="arg">offset</em> are measured rightward and downward from the top left corner of the page, unless the <a href="#gravity">-gravity</a> option is present with a value other than <em class="arg">NorthWest</em>.</p>

Also, keep in mind that <a href="#profile">-profile</a> is an "operator" (as opposed to a "setting") and therefore a conversion is made each time it is encountered, in order, in the command-line.
