182<h1>Magick++ C++ API</h1>
183<p class="navigation-index">[<a href="#intro">Introduction to Magick++</a> &bull; <a href="#documentation">Documentation</a> &bull; <a href="#get">Obtaining Magick++</a> &bull; <a href="#install">Installation</a> &bull; <a href="#bugs">Reporting Bugs</a>]</p>
184<div class="doc-section">
185<a id="intro"></a>
186<p>Magick++ is the object-oriented C++ API to the <A HREF="http://www.imagemagick.org/">ImageMagick</A> image-processing library.</p>
187<p>Magick++ supports an object model which is inspired by <A HREF="http://www.imagemagick.org/www/perl-magick.html">PerlMagick</A>.
188Images support implicit reference counting so that copy constructors
189and assignment incur almost no cost. The cost of actually copying an
190image (if necessary) is done just before modification and this copy
191is managed automagically by Magick++. De-referenced copies are
192automagically deleted. The image objects support value (rather than
193pointer) semantics so it is trivial to support multiple generations
194of an image in memory at one time.
195</p>
196<p>Magick++ provides integrated support for the <A HREF="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/">Standard
197Template Library</A> (STL) so that the powerful containers available
198(e.g. <A HREF="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/Deque.html">deque</A>,
199<A HREF="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/Vector.html">vector</A>, <A HREF="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/List.html">list</A>,
200and <A HREF="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/Map.html">map</A>)&nbsp; can
201be used to write programs similar to those possible with PERL &amp;
202PerlMagick. STL-compatible template versions of ImageMagick's
203list-style operations are provided so that operations may be
204performed on multiple images stored in STL containers.

207<h2>Documentation</h2>
208<div class="doc-section">
209<a id="documentation"></a>
210<p>Detailed <A HREF="../Magick++/Documentation.html">documentation</A> is
211provided for all Magick++ classes, class methods, and template
cristy361f4662010-12-31 23:02:52 +0000[diff] [blame]212functions which comprise the API. See a <a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/Magick++/tutorial/Magick++_tutorial.pdf"> Gentle Introduction to Magick++</a> for an introductory tutorial to Magick++.

215<h2>Obtaining Magick++</h2>
216<a id="get"></a>
217<div class="doc-section">
218<p>Magick++ is included as part of <A HREF="../www/index.html">ImageMagick</A>
219source releases and may be retrieved via <A HREF="http://www.imagemagick.org/www/download.html">ftp</A>
220or <A HREF="http://www.imagemagick.org/www/subversion.html">Subversion</A>.
221</p>
222</div>
223<h2>Installation</h2>
224<div class="doc-section">
225<a id="install"></a>
226<p>Once you have the Magick++ sources available, follow these detailed
227<A HREF="../Magick++/Install.html">installation instructions</A> for UNIX and
228Windows.
229</p>
230<p>A helper script named <I>Magick++-config</I> is installed
231under Unix which assists with recalling compilation options required
232to compile and link programs which use Magick++. For example, the
233following command will compile and link the source file <I>demo.cpp</I>
234to produce the executable <I>demo</I> (notice that quotes are
235backward quotes):
236</p>
237<pre class="text">
238c++ `Magick++-config --cxxflags --cppflags` -O2 -o demo demo.cpp \
239 `Magick++-config --ldflags --libs`
240</pre>
241<p>Windows users may get started by manually editing a project file
242for one of the Magick++ demo programs.
243</p>
244<p>Note, under Windows (and possibly the Mac) it may be necessary to initialize the ImageMagick library prior to using the Magick++ library. This initialization is performed by passing the path to the ImageMagick DLLs (assumed to be in the same directory as your program) to the InitializeMagick() function call. This is commonly performed by providing the path to your program (argv[0]) as shown in the following example: </p>
245<pre class="text">
246int main( int argc, char ** argv) {
247 InitializeMagick(*argv);
248 ...
249</pre>
250<p>This initialization step is not required under Unix, Linux,
251Cygwin, or any other operating environment that supports the notion
252of <em>installing</em> ImageMagick in a known location.
