cristy30092792011-02-22 02:06:14 +0000253<p>This option is enabled by default. An attempt is made to save all images of
254an image sequence into the given output file. However, some formats, such as
255JPEG and PNG, do not support more than one image per file, and in that case
256ImageMagick is forced to write each image as a separate file. As such, if
257more than one image needs to be written, the filename given is modified by
258adding a <a href="#scene">-scene</a> number before the suffix, in order to
259make distinct names for each image. </p>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000260
cristy30092792011-02-22 02:06:14 +0000261<p>Use <a href="#adjoin">+adjoin</a> to force each image to be written to
262separate files, whether or not the file format allows multiple images per file
263(for example, GIF, MIFF, and TIFF). </p>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000264
cristy30092792011-02-22 02:06:14 +0000265<p>Including a C-style integer format string in the output filename will
266automagically enable <a href="#adjoin">+adjoin</a> and are used to specify
267where the <a href="#scene">-scene</a> number is placed in the filenames. These
268strings, such as '<kbd>%d</kbd>' or '<kbd>%03d</kbd>', are familiar to those
269who have used the standard <kbd>printf()</kbd>' C-library function. As an
270example, the command</p>

458
459<p>This is a convenience for annotating an image with text. For more precise control over text annotations, use <a href="#draw">-draw</a>.</p>
460
461
462<p>The values <em class="arg">Xdegrees</em> and <em class="arg">Ydegrees</em> control the shears with respect to the , respectively, applied to the text, while <em class="arg">t<sub>x</sub></em> and <em class="arg">t<sub>y</sub></em> are offsets that give the location of the text relative to the upper left corner of the image.</p>
463
464<p>Using <a href="#annotate">-annotate</a>&nbsp;<em class="arg">degrees</em> or <a href="#annotate">-annotate</a>&nbsp;<em class="arg">degrees</em>x<em class="arg">degrees</em> produces an unsheared rotation of the text. The direction of the rotation is positive, which means a clockwise rotation if <em class="arg">degrees</em> is positive. (This conforms to the usual mathematical convention once it is realized that the positive <em>y</em>&ndash;direction is conventionally considered to be <em>downward</em> for images.)</p>
465
466<p>The new (transformed) coordinates (<em class="arg">x'</em>, <em class="arg">y'</em>) of a pixel at position (<em class="arg">x</em>, <em class="arg">y</em>) in the image are calculated using the following matrix equation.</p>
467<div class="eqn"><img alt="annotate transformation" src="../images/annotate.png"/></div>
468
469<p>If <em class="arg">t<sub>x</sub></em> and <em class="arg">t<sub>y</sub></em> are omitted, they default to 0. This makes the bottom-left of the text becomes the upper-left corner of the image, which is probably undesirable. Adding a <a href="#gravity" >-gravity</a> option in this case leads to nice results.</p>
470
471<p>Text is any UTF-8 encoded character sequence. If <em class="arg">text</em> is of the form '@mytext.txt', the text is read from the file <kbd>mytext.txt</kbd>. Text in a file is taken literally; no embedded formatting characters are recognized.</p>

cristy83543962009-10-16 19:04:28 +0000557<p>The operator is not typically used for real-life images, image scans, or

639<p>This option shifts the output of <a href="../www/command-line-options.html#convolve">&#x2011;convolve</a> so that positive and negative results are relative to the specified bias value. </p>
640
641<p>This is important for non-HDRI compilations of ImageMagick when dealing with convolutions that contain negative as well as positive values. This is especially the case with convolutions involving high pass filters or edge detection. Without an output bias, the negative values are clipped at zero.</p>
642
643<p>When using an ImageMagick with the HDRI compile-time setting, <a href="../www/command-line-options.html#bias">&#x2011;bias</a> is not needed, as ImageMagick is able to store/handle any
644negative results without clipping to the color value range
645(0..QuantumRange).</p>

716<p>The larger the <em class="arg" >Radius</em> the radius the slower the

cristy83a272e2010-05-07 20:40:35 +0000921<p>All the channels that is present in an image can be specified using the
cristybac7a162010-06-15 19:57:29 +0000922special channel type <kbd>All</kbd>. Not all operators are 'channel capable',
923but generally any operators that are generally 'grey-scale' image operators,
924will understand this setting. See individual operator documentation. </p>
925
cristydcca3fa2010-12-29 21:50:07 +0000926<br />
cristy83a272e2010-05-07 20:40:35 +0000927
928<p>On top of the normal channel selection a extra flag can be specified,
929'<kbd>Sync</kbd>'. This is turned on by default and if set means that
cristybac7a162010-06-15 19:57:29 +0000930operators that understand this flag should perform: cross-channel
931syncronization of the channels. If not specified, then most grey-scale
932operators will apply their image processing operations to each individual
933channel (as specified by the rest of the <a href="#channel">-channel</a>
cristyd0bda5e2010-09-21 16:22:45 +0000934setting) completely independently from each other. </p>
cristy83a272e2010-05-07 20:40:35 +0000935
936<p>For example for operators such as <a href="#auto-level">-auto-level</a> and
cristyd0bd44a2010-09-24 12:38:11 +0000937<a href="#auto-gamma">-auto-gamma</a> the color channels are modified
cristy83a272e2010-05-07 20:40:35 +0000938together in exactly the same way so that colors will remain in-sync. Without
cristyd0bd44a2010-09-24 12:38:11 +0000939it being set, then each channel is modified separately and
cristyd0bda5e2010-09-21 16:22:45 +0000940independently, which may produce color distortion. </p>
cristy83a272e2010-05-07 20:40:35 +0000941
cristydcca3fa2010-12-29 21:50:07 +0000942<p>The <a href="#morphology">-morphology</a> '<kbd>Convolve</kbd>' method
cristybac7a162010-06-15 19:57:29 +0000943and the <a href="#compose">-compose</a> mathematical methods, also understands
944the '<kbd>Sync</kbd>' flag to modify the behaviour of pixel colors according
945to the alpha channel (if present). That is to say it will modify the image
946processing with the understanding that fully-transparent colors should not
947contribute to the final result. </p>
948
cristydcca3fa2010-12-29 21:50:07 +0000949<p>Basically, by default, operators work with color channels in syncronous, and
cristybac7a162010-06-15 19:57:29 +0000950treats transparency as special, unless the <a href="#channel">-channel</a>
951setting is modified so as to remove the effect of the '<kbd>Sync</kbd>' flag.
952How each operator does this depends on that operators current implementation.
953Not all operators understands this flag at this time, but that is changing.

963channels except the transparency channel, and that all the color channels are
964to be modified in exactly the same way, with a understanding of transprancy

cristyd0bda5e2010-09-21 16:22:45 +0000998<p>Warning, some operators behave differently when the <a href="#channel"
cristyd934d102009-10-10 12:55:13 +0000999>+channel</a> default setting is in effect, verses ANY user defined <a
cristyd0bda5e2010-09-21 16:22:45 +00001000href="#channel" >-channel</a> setting (including the equivalent of the
cristy83a272e2010-05-07 20:40:35 +00001001default). These operators have yet to be made to understand the newer 'Sync'
1002flag. </p>
1003
cristybac7a162010-06-15 19:57:29 +00001004<p>For example <a href="#threshold">-threshold</a> will by default gray-scale
1005the image before thresholding, if no <a href="#channel" >-channel</a> setting
1006has been defined. This is not 'Sync flag controlled, yet. </p>
cristyd934d102009-10-10 12:55:13 +00001007
1008<p>Also some operators such as <a href="#blur">-blur</a>, <a
1009href="#gaussian-blur">-gaussian-blur</a>, will modify their handling of the
1010color channels if the '<kbd>alpha</kbd>' channel is also enabled by <a
1011href="#channel" >-channel</a>. Generally this done to ensure that
1012fully-transparent colors are treated as being fully-transparent, and thus any
1013underlying 'hidden' color has no effect on the final results. Typically
cristybac7a162010-06-15 19:57:29 +00001014resulting in 'halo' effects. The newer <a href="#morphology">-morphology</a>
cristyd0bda5e2010-09-21 16:22:45 +00001015convolution equivalents however does have a understanding of the 'Sync' flag
cristybac7a162010-06-15 19:57:29 +00001016and will thus handle transparency correctly by default. </p>
cristyd934d102009-10-10 12:55:13 +00001017
cristybac7a162010-06-15 19:57:29 +00001018<p>As a alpha channel is optional within images, some operators will read the
cristyd934d102009-10-10 12:55:13 +00001019color channels of an image as a greyscale alpha mask, when the image has no
cristybac7a162010-06-15 19:57:29 +00001020alpha channel present, and the <a href="#channel" >-channel</a> setting tells
1021the operator to apply the operation using alpha channels. The <a
1022href="#clut">-clut</a> operator is a good example of this. </p>

1145href="#interpolate">-interpolate</a> setting, which is especially handy for an
1146LUT which is not the full length needed by the ImageMagick installed Quality
1147(Q) level. Good settings for this are the '<kbd>bilinear</kbd>' and
1148'<kbd>bicubic</kbd>' interpolation settings, which give smooth color
1149gradients, and the '<kbd>integer</kbd>' setting for a direct, unsmoothed
1150lookup of color values. </p>
1151
1152<p>This operator is especially suited to replacing a grayscale image with a
1153specific color gradient from the CLUT image. </p>
1154
1155<p>Only the channel values defined by the <a href="#channel">-channel</a>
1156setting will have their values replaced. In particular, since the default <a
1157href="#channel">-channel</a> setting is <kbd>RGB</kbd>, this means that
1158transparency (alpha/matte channel) is not affected, unless the <a
1159href="#channel">-channel</a> setting is modified. When the alpha channel is
1160set, it is treated by the <a href="#clut" >-clut</a> operator in the same way
1161as the other channels, implying that alpha/matte values are replaced using the
1162alpha/matte values of the original image. </p>
1163
cristyd0bda5e2010-09-21 16:22:45 +00001164<p>If either the image being modified, or the lookup image, contains no
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00001165transparency (i.e. <a href="#alpha" >-alpha</a> is turned 'off') but the <a
1166href="#channel">-channel</a> setting includes alpha replacement, then it is
cristyd0bd44a2010-09-24 12:38:11 +00001167assumed that image represents a gray-scale gradient which is used for the
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00001168replacement alpha values. That is you can use a gray-scale CLUT image to
1169adjust a existing images alpha channel, or you can color a gray-scale image
1170using colors form CLUT containing the desired colors, including transparency.

1593<p>The <em class="arg">width</em> and <em class="arg">height</em> of the <em class="arg">geometry</em> argument give the size of the image that remains after cropping, and <em class="arg">x</em> and <em class="arg">y</em> in the <em class="arg">offset</em> (if present) gives the location of the top left corner of the cropped image with respect to the original image.

1595<p>If the <em class="arg">x</em> and <em class="arg">y</em> offsets are present, a single image is generated, consisting of the pixels from the cropping region.

If the <a href="#gravity">-gravity</a> option is present with <kbd>NorthEast</kbd>, <kbd>East</kbd>, or <kbd>SouthEast</kbd> gravity, it gives the distance leftward from the right edge of the image to the right edge of the cropping region. Similarly, if the <a href="#gravity">-gravity</a> option is present with <kbd>SouthWest</kbd>, <kbd>South</kbd>, or <kbd>SouthEast</kbd> gravity, the distance is measured upward between the bottom edges.</p>
1596
1597<p>If the <em class="arg">x</em> and <em class="arg">y</em> offsets are omitted, a set of tiles of the specified geometry, covering the entire input image, is generated. The rightmost tiles and the bottom tiles are smaller if the specified geometry extends beyond the dimensions of the input image.</p>
1598
1599<p>By adding a exclamation character flag to the geometry argument, the
1600cropped images virtual canvas page size and offset is set as if the

1733 encoder to use a different bit-depth and color-type than it would have
1734 normally selected, but only if this does not cause any loss of image
1735 quality. Any attempt to reduce image quality is treated as an error and no
1736 PNG file is written. E.g., if you have a 1-bit black-and-white image, you
1737 can use these "defines" to cause it to be written as an 8-bit grayscale,
1738 indexed, or even a 64-bit RGBA. But if you have a 16-million color image,
1739 you cannot force it to be written as a grayscale or indexed PNG. If you
1740 wish to do this, you must use the appropriate <a href="#depth">-depth</a>,
1741 <a href="#colors">-colors</a>, or <a href="#type">-type</a> directives to
1742 reduce the image quality prior to using the PNG encoder. Note that in
1743 indexed PNG files, "bit-depth" refers to the number of bits per index,
cristyefb2bdb2010-11-20 19:35:22 +00001744 which can be 1, 2, 4, or 8. In such files, the color samples always have

1778 (GRAY_ALPHA or RGBA). If the image is not transparent, then the

1780 on the PNG colortype of the output image.</p>

1868
1869<p>This option specifies the image resolution to store while encoding a raster image or the canvas resolution while rendering (reading) vector formats such as Postscript, PDF, WMF, and SVG into a raster image. Image resolution provides the unit of measure to apply when rendering to an output device or raster image. The default unit of measure is in dots per inch (DPI). The <a href="#units">-units</a> option may be used to select dots per centimeter instead.</p>
1870
1871<p>The default resolution is 72 dots per inch, which is equivalent to one point per pixel (Macintosh and Postscript standard). Computer screens are normally 72 or 96 dots per inch, while printers typically support 150, 300, 600, or 1200 dots per inch. To determine the resolution of your display, use a ruler to measure the width of your screen in inches, and divide by the number of horizontal pixels (1024 on a 1024x768 display).</p>
1872
1873<p>If the file format supports it, this option may be used to update the stored image resolution. Note that Photoshop stores and obtains image resolution from a proprietary embedded profile. If this profile is not stripped from the image, then Photoshop will continue to treat the image using its former resolution, ignoring the image resolution specified in the standard file header.</p>
1874
1875<p>The <a href="#density">-density</a> option sets an <em>attribute</em> and does not alter the underlying raster image.

1917<p>With this option, the 'overlay' image, and optionally the 'mask' image,
cristyd0bd44a2010-09-24 12:38:11 +00001918is used as a displacement map, which is used to displace the lookup of
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00001919what part of the 'background' image is seen at each point of the overlaid
1920area. Much like the displacement map is a 'lens' that redirects light shining
1921through it so as to present a distorted view the original 'background' image
1922behind it. </p>
1923
1924<p>Any perfect grey areas of the displacement map produce a zero
1925displacement of the image. Black areas produce the given maximum negative
1926displacement of the lookup point, while white produce a maximum positive
1927displacement of the lookup. </p>
1928
1929<p>Note that it is the lookup of the 'background' that is displaced, not a
1930displacement of the image itself. As such an area of the displacement map
1931containing 'white' will have the lookup point 'shifted' by a positive amount,
1932and thus generating a copy of the destination image to the right/downward from
1933the correct position. That is the image will look like it may have been
1934'shifted' in a negative left/upward direction. Understanding this is a very
1935important in understanding how displacement maps work. </p>
1936
1937<p>The given arguments define the maximum amount of displacement in pixels
1938that a particular map can produce. If the displacement scale is large enough
cristyd0bda5e2010-09-21 16:22:45 +00001939it is also possible to lookup parts of the 'background' image that lie well
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00001940outside the bounds of the displacement map itself. That is you could very
cristyd0bda5e2010-09-21 16:22:45 +00001941easily copy a section of the original image from outside the overlay area
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00001942into the overlay area. </p>
1943
1944<p>The '%' flag makes the displacement scale relative to the size of the
1945overlay image (100% = half width/height of image). Using '!' switches
1946percentage arguments to refer to the destination image size instead.
1947these flags were added as of IM v6.5.3-5.</p>
1948
1949<p>Normally a single grayscale displacement map is provided, which with the
1950given scaling values will determine a single direction (vector) in which
cristyd0bda5e2010-09-21 16:22:45 +00001951displacements can occur (positively or negatively). However, if you also
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00001952specify a third image which is normally used as a <em class="arg">mask</em>,
cristyd0bd44a2010-09-24 12:38:11 +00001953the <em class="arg">composite image</em> is used for horizontal X
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00001954displacement, while the <em class="arg">mask image</em> is used for vertical Y
1955displacement. This allows you to define completely different displacement
1956values for the X and Y directions, and allowing you to lookup any point within
1957the <em class="arg">scale</em> bounds. In other words each pixel can lookup
cristyd0bda5e2010-09-21 16:22:45 +00001958any other nearby pixel, producing complex 2 dimensional displacements, rather
1959than a simple 1 dimensional vector displacements. </p>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00001960
cristyd0bda5e2010-09-21 16:22:45 +00001961<p>Alteratively rather than suppling two separate images, as of IM v6.4.4-0,
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00001962you can use the 'red' channel of the overlay image to specify the horizontal
1963or X displacement, and the 'green' channel for the vertical or Y displacement.
1964</p>
1965
cristyd0bd44a2010-09-24 12:38:11 +00001966<p>As of IM v6.5.3-5 any alpha channel in the overlay image is used as a

2333<p>Many of the above distortion methods such as '<kbd>Affine</kbd>',
2334'<kbd>Perspective</kbd>', and '<kbd>Shepards</kbd>' use a list control points
2335defining how these points in the given image should be distorted in the
2336destination image. Each set of four floating point values represent a source
2337image coordinate, followed immediately by the destination image coordinate.
2338This produces a list of values such as...</p>

2348
2349<p>For example, to warp an image using '<kbd>perspective</kbd>' distortion,
2350needs a list of at least 4 sets of coordinates, or 16 numbers. Here is the
2351perspective distortion of the built-in "rose:" image. Note how spaces were
2352used to group the 4 sets of coordinate pairs, to make it easier to read and
2353understand.</p>

2359<p>If more that the required number of coordinate pairs are given for
2360a distortion, the distortion method is 'least squares' fitted to produce the
2361best result for all the coordinate pairs given. If less than the ideal number
2362of points are given, the distort will generally fall back to a simpler form of
2363distortion that can handles the smaller number of coordinates (usally a linear
2364'<kbd>Affine</kbd>' distortion). </p>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00002365
cristyd0bda5e2010-09-21 16:22:45 +00002366<p>By using more coordinates you can make use of image registration tool to
cristyd0bd44a2010-09-24 12:38:11 +00002367find matching coordinate pairs in overlapping images, so as to improve the
2368'fit' of the distortion. Of course a bad coordinate pair can also make the
2369'fit' worse. Caution is always advised. </p>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00002370
2371<p>Colors are acquired from the source image according to the <a
2372href="#interpolate" >-interpolate</a> color lookup setting, when the image is
cristyd0bd44a2010-09-24 12:38:11 +00002373magnified. However if the viewed image is minified (image becomes smaller),
2374a special area resampling function (added ImageMagick v6.3.5-9), is used to
2375produce a higher quality image. For example you can use
2376a '<kbd>perspective</kbd>' distortion to view a infinitely tiled 'plane' all
2377the way to the horizon. </p>

cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00002383<p>Note that a infinitely tiled perspective images involving the horizon can
2384be very slow to generate due to the use of the high quality 'area resampling'
2385function (added ImageMagick v6.3.5-9). You can turn off 'area resampling'
2386using a <a href="#filter" >-filter</a> setting of '<kbd>point</kbd>'
2387(recommended if you plan to use super-sampling instead). </p>
2388
2389<p>If an image generates <i>invalid pixels</i>, such as the 'sky' in the last
2390'<kbd>perspective</kbd>' distortion example, <a href="#distort" >-distort</a>
2391will use the current <a href="#mattecolor" >-mattecolor</a> setting for these
2392pixels. If you do not what these pixels to be visible, set the color to match
2393the rest of the ground. </p>
2394
2395<p>The output image size will by default be the same as the input image. This
2396means that if the part of the distorted image falls outside the viewed area of
cristyd0bd44a2010-09-24 12:38:11 +00002397the 'distorted space', those parts is clipped and lost. However if you use
2398the plus form of the operator (<a href="#distort" >+distort</a>) the operator
2399will attempt (if possible) to show the whole of the distorted image, while
2400retaining a correct 'virtual canvas' offset, for image layering. This offset
2401may need to be removed using <a href="#repage" >+repage</a>, to remove if it
2402is unwanted. </p>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00002403
2404<p>You can alternatively specify a special "<kbd><a href="#set" >-set</a>
2405option:distort:viewport {geometry_string}</kbd>" setting which will specify
2406the size and the offset of the generated 'viewport' image of the distorted
2407image space.</p>
2408
2409<p>Adding a "<kbd><a href="#set" >-set</a> option:distort:scale
2410{scale_factor}</kbd>" will scale the output image (viewport or otherwise) by
2411that factor without changing the viewed contents of the distorted image. This
2412can be used either for 'super-sampling' the image for a higher quality result,
2413or for panning and zooming around the image (with appropriate viewport
2414changes, or post-distort cropping and resizing). </p>
2415
2416<p>Setting <a href="#verbose" >-verbose</a> setting, will cause <a
2417href="#distort" >-distort</a> to attempt to output the internal coefficients,
2418and the <a href="#fx" >-fx</a> equivalent to the distortion, for expert study,
2419and debugging purposes. This many not be available for all distorts. </p>
2420
2421<p>Affine rotations and shears (such as '<kbd>SRT</kbd>' distortion), tend to
2422produce a cleaner result that the equivalent <a href="#rotate" >-rotate</a>
2423and/or <a href="#shear" >-shear</a> operation, with more control of due to the
cristyd0bd44a2010-09-24 12:38:11 +00002424above settings. It is algorithmically slower however, though that may not be
2425the case in ImageMagick's implementation. </p>

cristyd0bda5e2010-09-21 16:22:45 +00002434<p>Dithering places two or more colors in neighboring pixels so that to the eye a closer approximation of the images original color is reproduced.

2439leads to faster process, a smaller number of colors, but more cartoon like
2440image coloring. Generally resulting in 'color banding' effects in areas with

2508
2509<p>A <kbd>line</kbd> primitive requires a start point and end point.</p>
2510
2511<p>A <kbd>rectangle</kbd> primitive is specified by the pair of points at the upper left and lower right corners.</p>
2512
2513<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>
2514
2515<p>The <kbd>circle</kbd> primitive makes a disk (filled) or circle (unfilled). Give the center and any point on the perimeter (boundary).</p>
2516
2517<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>
2518
2519<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>
2520
2521<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>.
2522</p>
2523
2524<p>A <em>coordinate</em> is a pair of integers separated by a space or optional comma. </p>
2525
2526<p>As an example, to define a circle centered at 100,100 that extends to 150,150 use:</p>
2527
2528<p class="crtsnip">
2529 -draw 'circle 100,100 150,150'
2530</p>
2531
2532<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
2533draw 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>
2534
2535<p class="crtsnip">
2536 -draw 'bezier 20,50 45,100 45,0 70,50'
2537</p>

2543<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>
2544
2545<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>
2546
2547<p class="crtsnip">
2548 -draw 'image SrcOver 100,100 225,225 image.jpg'
2549</p>
2550
cristybc9539a2010-08-16 18:06:20 +00002551<p>You can use 0,0 for the image size, which means to use the actual
2552dimensions found in the image header. Otherwise, it is scaled to the given
2553dimensions. See <a href="../www/compose.html">Alpha Compositing</a> for
2554a detailed discussion of alpha composition methods that are available. </p>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00002555
2556<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>
2557
2558<p>For example, the following annotates the image with <kbd>Works like magick!</kbd> for an image titled <kbd>bird.miff</kbd>. </p>
2559
2560<p class="crtsnip">
cristy4bf6e232011-05-21 01:43:33 +00002561 -draw "text 100,100 'Works like magick!' "
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00002562</p>
2563
2564<p>See the <a href="#annotate">-annotate</a> option for another convenient way to annotate an image with text.</p>
2565
2566<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>
2567
2568<p>The <kbd>translate</kbd> primitive translates subsequent shape and text primitives.</p>
2569
2570<p>The <kbd>scale</kbd> primitive scales them.</p>
2571
2572<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>
2573
2574<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
2575matrix.</p>
2576
2577<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>
2578
2579<pre class="text">
2580 point
2581 replace
2582 floodfill
2583 filltoborder
2584 reset
2585</pre>
2586
2587<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>
2588
2589<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>
2590
2591<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>
2592
2593<p>Strings that begin with a number must be quoted (e.g. use '1.png' rather than 1.png).</p>
2594
2595<p>Drawing primitives conform to the <a href="../www/magick-vector-graphics.html">Magick Vector Graphics</a> format.</p>

2747
2748<p><kbd>AddModulus</kbd> has been added as of ImageMagick 6.4.8-4 and provides addition modulo the <em class="QR">QuantumRange</em>. It is therefore equivalent to <kbd>Add</kbd> unless the resulting pixel value is outside the interval [0,&nbsp;<em class="QR">QuantumRange</em>]. </p>

2764
2765<p><kbd>Pow</kbd> has been added as of ImageMagick 6.4.1-9, and works on
2766normalized pixel values. Note that <kbd>Pow</kbd> is related to the <a
2767href="#gamma" >-gamma</a> operator. For example, <b>-gamma 2</b> is equivalent
2768to <b>-evaluate pow 0.5</b>, i.e., a 'square root' function. The value used
2769with <a href="#gamma" >-gamma</a> is simply the reciprocal of the value used
2770with <kbd>Pow</kbd>.</p>
2771
2772<p><kbd>Cosine</kbd> and <kbd>Sine</kbd> was added as of IM v6.4.8-8 and
2773converts the image values into a value according to a (co)sine wave function.
2774The synonyms <kbd>Cos</kbd> and <kbd>Sin</kbd> may also be used. The output
2775is biased 50% and normalized by 50% so as to fit in the respective color value
2776range. The <em class="arg">value</em> scaling of the <em>period</em> of the
2777function (its frequency), and thus determines the number of 'waves' that will
2778be generated over the input color range. For example, if the <em

cristydcca3fa2010-12-29 21:50:07 +00002854<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>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00002855
cristydcca3fa2010-12-29 21:50:07 +00002856<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>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00002857
2858<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>
2859
2860<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>convert image.png -fft fft_image.miff</span></p>
2861<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>
2862
2863<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>convert image.png -fft fft_image.png</span></p>
2864<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>
2865
cristyd0bd44a2010-09-24 12:38:11 +00002866<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>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00002867
2868<p>Both output components will have dynamic ranges that fit within [0,&nbsp;<em class="QR">QuantumRange</em>], so that HDRI need not be enabled. Phase values nominally range from 0 to 2*&pi;, 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>
2869
2870<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>convert fft_image.miff[0] -contrast-stretch 0 \ <br />
2871 -evaluate log 1000 fft_image_spectrum.png</span></p>
2872<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>
2873
cristydcca3fa2010-12-29 21:50:07 +00002874<p>The <a href="http://www.fftw.org/">FFTW</a> delegate library is required to use <a href="#fft">-fft</a>.</p>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00002875
2876<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>
2877
2878<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>
2879
cristydcca3fa2010-12-29 21:50:07 +00002880<p>The real and imaginary component images resulting from <a href="#fft">+fft</a> is also square, even dimensioned images due to the same padding that was discussed above for the magnitude and phase component images.</p>

3026<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>convert image.png -filter bessel \ <br/>
3027 -set filter:window=bessel -set filter:lobes=8 \ <br/>
3028 -resize 150% image.jpg</span></p>
3029<p>Or a raw un-windowed Sinc filter with 4 lobes:</p>
3030
3031<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>convert image.png -set filter:filter=sinc -set filter:lobes=4 \ <br/>
3032 -resize 150% image.jpg</span></p>
3033<p>Note that the use of expert options (except for 'blur' with simple resize
cristyd0bda5e2010-09-21 16:22:45 +00003034filters, and 'verbose' for viewing the internal filter selection), are
3035provided for image processing experts who have studied and understood how
3036resize filters work. Without this knowledge, and an understanding of the
3037definition of the actual filters involved, using expert settings are more
3038likely to be detrimental to your image resizing.</p>

3334
3335<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
3337<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>
3338
3339<p>You can apply separate gamma values to the red, green, and blue channels of the image with a gamma value list delimited with commas (e.g., <kbd>1.7,2.3,1.2</kbd>).</p>
3340
3341<p>Use <a href="#gamma">+gamma <em class="arg">value</em></a> to set the image gamma level without actually adjusting the image pixels. This option is useful if the image is of a known gamma but not set as an image attribute (e.g. PNG images).</p>

3366<p>The larger the <em class="arg" >Radius</em> the radius the slower the

3400
3401<p>The direction you choose specifies where to position text or subimages. For example, a gravity of <kbd>Center</kbd> forces the text to be centered within the image.

3404
3405<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 (&minus;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 (&minus;40,20) is applied to that point, giving (100&minus;40,50+20)=(60,70), so the specified 10x10&nbsp;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&nbsp;(60,70).

3968<p>Given one, two or three values delimited with commas: black-point,
3969white-point, gamma (for example: 10,250,1.0 or 2%,98%,0.5). The black and
3970white points range from 0 to <em class="QR">QuantumRange</em>, or from 0 to 100%; if the white
3971point is omitted it is set to (<em class="QR">QuantumRange</em> - black_point), so as to center
3972contrast changes. If a <kbd>%</kbd> sign is present anywhere in the string,
3973both black and white points are percentages of the full color range. Gamma
3974will do a <a href="#gamma">-gamma</a> adjustment of the values. If it is
3975omitted, the default of 1.0 (no gamma correction) is assumed.</p>
3976
3977<p>In normal usage (<kbd>-level</kbd>) the image values are stretched so that
3978the given '<kbd>black_point</kbd>' value in the original image is set to
3979zero (or black), while the given '<kbd>white_point</kbd>' value is set to
3980<em class="QR">QuantumRange</em> (or white). This provides you with direct contrast adjustments
3981to the image. The '<kbd>gamma</kbd>' of the resulting image will then be
3982adjusted. </p>
3983
3984<p>From ImageMagick v6.4.1-9 using the plus form of the operator (<kbd>+level</kbd>) or
3985adding the special '!' flag anywhere in the argument list, will cause the
3986operator to do the reverse of the level adjustment. That is a zero, or
3987<em class="QR">QuantumRange</em> value (black, and white, resp.) in the original image, is
3988adjusted to the given level values, allowing you to de-contrast, or compress

By default the limits are 768 files, 2GB of image area, 1.5GiB memory, 8GiB memory map, and 18.45EB of disk. These limits are adjusted relative to the available resources on your computer if this information is available. When any limit is reached, ImageMagick fails in some fashion but attempts to take compensating actions, if possible. For example, the following limits memory:</p>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00004039
4040<p class="crtsnip">

4051
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00004052<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">&#x2011;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>
4053
4054<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>
4055
4056<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>
4057
4058<p class="crtsnip">
4059-limit area 10mb
4060</p>
4061
cristyd0bda5e2010-09-21 16:22:45 +00004062<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>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00004063
4064<p class="crtsnip">
4065-limit area 10mb -limit disk 500mb
4066</p>
4067
4068<p>Here ImageMagick stops processing if an image requires more than 500MB of disk storage.</p>
4069
4070<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>
4071
4072<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.

4088
4089<p>As such while the initial determination may have 'binning' round off

4392A value of either 0 or 200 results in a complete 180 degree rotation of the

4490<p>The principal function of noise peak elimination filter is to smooth the objects within an image without losing edge information and without creating undesired structures. The central idea of the algorithm is to replace a pixel with its next neighbor in value within a pixel window, if this pixel has been found to be noise. A pixel is defined as noise if and only if this pixel is a maximum or minimum within the pixel window.</p>

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>

4716<p>For a PostScript page, the image is sized as in <a href="#geometry">-geometry</a> but positioned relative to the <em>lower left-hand corner</em> of the page by {+-}<kbd>x</kbd><em class="arg">offset</em>{+-}<kbd>y</kbd> <em class="arg">offset</em>. 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>
4717
4718<p>The default page dimensions for a TEXT image is 612x792.</p>

4828
4829<p>Using <a href="#profile">-profile</a> <em class="arg">filename</em> adds an ICM (ICC color management), IPTC (newswire information), or a generic profile to the image.</p>
4830
4831<p>Use <a href="#profile">+profile <em class="arg">profile_name</em></a> to remove the indicated profile. ImageMagick uses standard filename globbing, so wildcard expressions may be used to remove more than one profile. Here we remove all profiles from the image except for the XMP profile: <kbd>+profile "!xmp,*"</kbd>. </p>
4832
4833<p>Use <kbd>identify -verbose</kbd> to find out which profiles are in the image file. Use <a href="#strip">-strip</a> to remove all profiles (and comments).</p>
4834
4835<p>To extract a profile, the <a href="#profile">-profile</a> option is not used. Instead, simply write the file to an image format such as <em class="arg">APP1, 8BImageMagick, ICM,</em> or <em class="arg">IPTC</em>.</p>
4836
4837<p>For example, to extract the Exif data (which is stored in JPEG files in the <em class="arg">APP1</em> profile), use.</p>
4838
4839<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>convert cockatoo.jpg profile.exif</span></p>
4840<p>It is important to note that results may depend on whether or not the original image already has an included profile. 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. For instance, in the following example, if the original image is CMYK with profile, a CMYK-CMYK-RGB conversion results.</p>
4841
4842<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>convert CMYK.tif -profile "CMYK.icc" -profile "RGB.icc" RGB.tiff</span></p>
4843<p>Furthermore, since ICC profiles are not necessarily symmetric, extra conversion steps can yield unwanted results.
4844CMYK profiles are often very asymmetric since they involve 3&minus;&gt;4 and 4&minus;&gt;3 channel mapping.
4845</p>
4846
cristyf7964272011-01-30 03:49:12 +00004847<p>The <a href="#profile">-profile</a> option can also be used to inject
4848previously-formatted ancillary chunks into the output PNG file, using
4849the commandline option as shown below or by setting the profile via a

4855name in the first 4 bytes, then a colon (":"), followed by the chunk data.

4871
cristy851dbce2010-08-06 21:40:00 +00004872<p>For the JPEG and MPEG image formats, quality is 1 (lowest image quality and highest compression) to 100 (best quality but least effective compression). The default is to use the estimate quality of your input image otherwise 92. Use the <a href="#sampling-factor">-sampling-factor</a> option to specify the factors for chroma downsampling.</p>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00004873
4874<p>For the MIFF image format, quality/10 is the zlib compression level, which is 0 (worst but fastest compression) to 9 (best but slowest). It has no effect on the image appearance, since the compression is always lossless.</p>
4875
cristy851dbce2010-08-06 21:40:00 +00004876<p>For the JPEG-2000 image format, quality is mapped using a non-linear equation to the compression ratio required by the Jasper library. This non-linear equation is intended to loosely approximate the quality provided by the JPEG v1 format. The default quality value 100, a request for non-lossy compression. A quality of 75 results in a request for 16:1 compression.</p>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00004877
cristy3c98a4f2010-08-13 20:09:41 +00004878<p>For the MNG and PNG image formats, the quality value sets the zlib compression level (quality / 10) and filter-type (quality % 10). For compression level 0, the Huffman-only strategy is used, which is fastest but not necessarily the worst compression. The default PNG compression is 75.</p>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00004879

4968<p>If the <a href="#dither">-dither</a> setting is enabled (the default) then

4971
4972<p>As a side effect of applying a <a href="#remap">-remap</a> of colors across all
4973images in the current image sequence, all the images will have the same color

4976without requiring extra local color tables. </p>
4977
4978<p>Use <a href="#remap">+remap</a> to reduce all images in the current image
4979sequence to use a common color map over all the images. This equivalent to
4980appending all the images together (without extra background colors) and color
4981reducing those images using <a href="#colors">-colors</a> with a 256 color

4984
4985<p>If the number of colors over all the images is less than 256, then <a

4987no color changes are needed. In that case, its only effect is to force the use
4988of a global color table. This recommended after using either <a

For example, if a 300 DPI image renders at 3 inches by 2 inches on a 300 DPI device, when the image has been resampled to 72 DPI, it will render at 3 inches by 2 inches on a 72 DPI device. Note that only a small number of image formats (e.g. JPEG, PNG, and TIFF) are capable of storing the image resolution.

cristyd0bda5e2010-09-21 16:22:45 +00005245>-verbose</a> information ("<kbd>info:</kbd>" output format) as "Properties".
5246</p>
5247
cristyd0bd44a2010-09-24 12:38:11 +00005248<p>This includes string 'properities' that are set by and assigned to images
5249using the options <a href="#comment" >-comment</a>, <a href="#label"
5250>-label</a>, <a href="#caption" >-caption</a>. These options actually assign
5251a global 'artifact' which are automatically assigned (and any <a href="../www/escape.html" >Format Percent
5252Escapes</a> expanded) to images as they are read in. For example:</p>
cristyd0bda5e2010-09-21 16:22:45 +00005253
cristyd0bd44a2010-09-24 12:38:11 +00005254<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>convert rose: -set comment 'Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose' rose.png</span><span class='crtout'>identify -format %c rose.png</span><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose</span></p>
5255<p>The set value can also make use of <a href="../www/escape.html" >Format and Print Image
5256Properties</a> in the defined value. For example:</p>
5257
5258<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>convert rose: -set origsize '%wx%h' -resize 50% \</span><span class='crtout'> -format 'Old size = %[origsize] New size = %wx%h' info:</span><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>Old size = 70x46 New size = 35x23</span></p>
5259<p>Other well known 'properities' that can be include:
5260'<kbd>date:create</kbd>' and '<kbd>date:modify</kbd>' and
5261'<kbd>signature</kbd>'. </p>
5262
5263<p>The <a href="#repage">-repage</a> operator will also allow you to modify
5264the '<kbd>page</kbd>' attribute of an image for images already in memory (also
5265see <a href="#repage">-page</a>). However it is designed to provide a finer
5266control of the sub-parts of this 'attribute'. The <a href="#set">-set page</a>
5267option will only provide a direct, unmodified assignment of '<kbd>page</kbd>'
5268attribute. </p>
5269
5270<p>This option can also associate a colorspace or profile with your image.
5271For example,</p>
5272
5273<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>convert image.psd -set profile ISOcoated_v2_eci.icc image-icc.psd</span></p>
cristyd0bda5e2010-09-21 16:22:45 +00005274<p>Some 'properties' must be defined in a specific way to be used. For
5275example only 'properties' prefixed with "<kbd>filename:</kbd>" can be used to
5276modify the output filename of an image. For example</p>
5277
5278<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>convert rose: -set filename:mysize '%wx%h' 'rose_%[filename:mysize].png'</span></p>
5279<p>If the setting value is prefixed with "<kbd>option:</kbd>" the setting will
5280be saved as a global "Artifact" exactly as if it was set using the <a
cristyf9a6c462011-04-24 14:01:11 +00005281href="#define" >-define</a> option. As such settings are global in scope, they
cristyd0bd44a2010-09-24 12:38:11 +00005282can be used to pass 'attributes' and 'properities' of one specific image,
5283in a way that allows you to use them in a completely different image, even if
5284the original image has long since been modified or destroyed. For example: </p>
5285
5286<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>convert rose: -set option:rosesize '%wx%h' -delete 0 \</span><span class='crtout'> label:'%[rosesize]' label_size_of_rose.gif</span></p>
5287<p>Note that <a href="../www/escape.html" >Format Percent Escapes</a> will only match
5288a 'artifact' if the given <em class="arg">key</em> does not match an existing
cristy323f35b2011-03-24 23:05:13 +00005289'attribute' or 'property'. </p>
cristyd0bda5e2010-09-21 16:22:45 +00005290
5291<p>You can set the attributes of the image registry by prefixing the value
5292with <kbd>registry:</kbd>.</p>

5344
5345<p>Shearing slides one edge of an image along the x-axis or y-axis (i.e., horizontally or vertically, respectively),creating a parallelogram. The amount of each is controlled by the respective shear angle. For horizontal shears, <em class="arg">Xdegrees</em> is measured clockwise relative to "up" (the negative y-axis), sliding the top edge to the right when 0&deg;&lt;<em class="arg">Xdegrees</em>&lt;90&deg; and to the left when 90&deg;&lt;<em class="arg">Xdegrees</em>&lt;180&deg;.

5347<p>Empty triangles left over from shearing the image are filled with the color defined by the <a href="#fill">-background</a> option. The color is specified using the format described under the <a href="#fill">-fill</a> option.</p>
5348
5349<p>The horizontal shear is performed before the vertical part. This is important to note, since horizontal and vertical shears do not <em>commute</em>, i.e., the order matters in a sequence of shears. For example, the following two commands are not equivalent.</p>
5350
5351<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>convert logo: -shear 20x0 -shear 0x60 logo-sheared.png</span><span class='crtout'></span><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>convert logo: -shear 0x60 -shear 20x0 logo-sheared.png</span></p>
5352<p>The first of the two commands above is equivalent to the following, except for the amount of empty space created; the command that follows generates a smaller image, and so is a better choice in terms of time and space.</p>

5826
5827<p>The <em class="arg">color</em> argument is defined using the format
5828described under the <a href="#fill">-fill</a> option. The <a href="#fuzz"
5829>-fuzz</a> setting can be used to match and replace colors similar to the one
5830given. </p>

cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00005835<p>The <a href="#opaque">-opaque</a> operator is exactly the same as <a

5837current <a href="#fill">-fill</a> color setting, rather than transparent.
5838However the <a href="#transparent" >-transparent</a> operator also ensures
5839that the image has an alpha channel enabled, as per "<kbd><a href="#alpha"
5840>-alpha</a> set</kbd>", and does not require you to modify the <a
5841href="#channel">-channel</a> to enable alpha channel handling. </p>

5853
5854<p>Sometimes this is used for saving to image formats such as
5855GIF and PNG8 which uses this color to represent boolean transparency. This
5856does not make a color transparent, it only defines what color the transparent
5857color is in the color palette of the saved image. Use <a
5858href="#transparent">-transparent</a> to make an opaque color transparent.</p>
5859
5860<p>This option allows you to have both an opaque visible color, as well as a
5861transparent color of the same color value without conflict. That is, you can
5862use the same color for both the transparent and opaque color areas within an
5863image. This, in turn, frees to you to select a transparent color that is
5864appropriate when an image is displayed by an application that does not handle a
5865transparent color index, while allowing ImageMagick to correctly handle images of this
5866type. </p>
5867
5868<p>The default transparent color is <kbd>#00000000</kbd>, which is fully transparent black.</p>

5892<p>Normally, this integer value is zero or one. A value of zero or one causes the use of an optimal tree depth for the color reduction algorithm.</p>
5893
5894<p>An optimal depth generally allows the best representation of the source image with the fastest computational speed and the least amount of memory. However, the default depth is inappropriate for some images. To assure the best representation, try values between 2 and 8 for this parameter.

cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +00005922
5923<p>Normally, when a format supports different subformats such as grayscale and truecolor, the encoder will try to choose an efficient subformat. The <a href="#type">-type</a> option can be used to overrride this behavior. For example, to prevent a JPEG from being written in grayscale format even though only gray pixels are present, use.</p>

5926<p>Similarly, use <a href="#type">-type TrueColorMatte</a> to force the encoder to write an alpha channel even though the image is opaque, if the output format supports transparency.</p>

6022lookup completely 'misses' the source image. The color(s) that appear to
6023surround the source image. Generally this color is derived from the source
6024image, but could also be set to a specify background color. </p>
