| 16 | <meta name="Description" content="ImageMagick® is a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images. It can read, convert and write images in a variety of formats (about 100) including GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, TIFF, and DPX. Use ImageMagick to translate, flip, mirror, rotate, scale, shear and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves. ImageMagick is free software delivered as a ready-to-run binary distribution or as source code that you can freely use, copy, modify, and distribute. Its license is compatible with the GPL. It runs on all major operating systems. The functionality of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command line or you can use the features from programs written in your favorite programming language. Choose from these interfaces: MagickCore (C), MagickWand (C), ChMagick (Ch), Magick++ (C++), JMagick (Java), L-Magick (Lisp), PascalMagick (Pascal), PerlMagick (Perl), MagickWand for PHP (PHP), PythonMagick (Python), RMagick (Ruby), or TclMagick (Tcl/TK). With a language interface, use ImageMagick to modify or create images automagically and dynamically."/> |

| 213 | <p>This option is enabled by default. An attempt is made to save all |
| 214 | images of an image sequence into the given output file. |
| 215 | However, some formats, such as JPEG and PNG, do not support more than one |
| 216 | image per file, and in that case ImageMagick is forced to write each image as a separate file. As |
| 217 | such, if more than one image needs to be written, the filename given is |
| 218 | modified by adding a <a href="#scene">-scene</a> number before the |
| 219 | suffix, in order to make distinct names for each image. </p> |
| 220 | |
| 221 | <p>Use <a href="#adjoin">+adjoin</a> to force each image to be written |
| 222 | to separate files, whether or not the file format allows multiple images |
| 223 | per file (for example, GIF, MIFF, and TIFF). </p> |
| 224 | |
| 225 | <p>Including a C-style integer format string in the output filename will automagically enable <a href="#adjoin">+adjoin</a> and are used to specify where the <a href="#scene">-scene</a> number is placed in the filenames. These strings, such as '<kbd>%d</kbd>' or '<kbd>%03d</kbd>', are familiar to those who have used the standard <kbd>printf()</kbd>' C-library function. As an example, the command</p> |
| 226 | |
| 227 | <p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert logo: rose: -morph 15 my%02dmorph.jpg</span></p> |

| 229 | </p> |
| 230 | |
| 231 | <p>In summary, ImageMagick tries to write all images to one file, but will use |
| 232 | multiple files if either (1) the output image's file format does not allow multi-image files, |
| 233 | (2) the <a href="#adjoin">+adjoin</a> option is given, or (3) a C-style integer format string is |

| 244 | <p>This option sets a transformation matrix, encoded as (<em class="arg">s<sub>x</sub></em>, <em class="arg">r<sub>x</sub></em>, <em class="arg">r<sub>y</sub></em>, <em class="arg">s<sub>y</sub></em>, <em class="arg">t<sub>x</sub></em>, <em class="arg">t<sub>y</sub></em>), for use by subsequent <a href="#draw">-draw</a> or <a href="#transform">-transform</a> options.</p> |
| 245 | |
| 246 | <p>The matrix entries are entered as comma-separated numeric values <i>with no spaces</i>. </p> |
| 247 | |
| 248 | <p>Internally, the transformation matrix has 3x3 elements, but three of them are omitted from the input because they are constant. 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 original image are calculated using the following matrix equation.</p> |
| 249 | |
| 250 | <div class="eqn"> |
| 251 | <img alt="affine transformation" src="../images/affine.png"/> |
| 252 | </div> |
| 253 | |
| 254 | <p> |
| 255 | The size of the resulting image is that of the smallest rectangle that contains the transformed source image. The parameters <em class="arg">t<sub>x</sub></em> and <em class="arg">t<sub>y</sub></em> subsequently shift the image pixels so that those that are moved out of the image area are cut off.</p> |
| 256 | |
| 257 | <p>The transformation matrix complies with the left-handed pixel coordinate system: positive <em class="arg">x</em> and <em class="arg">y</em> directions are rightward and downward, resp.; positive rotation is clockwise.</p> |
| 258 | |
| 259 | <p> If the translation coefficients <em class="arg">t<sub>x</sub></em> and <em class="arg">t<sub>y</sub></em> are omotted they default to 0,0. Therefore, four parameters suffice for rotation and scaling without translation.</p> |
| 260 | |
| 261 | <p>Scaling by the factors <em class="arg">s<sub>x</sub></em> and <em class="arg">s<sub>y</sub></em> in the <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> directions, respectively, is accomplished with the following.</p> |
| 262 | |
| 263 | <p class="crtsnip"> |
| 264 | -affine <em class="arg">s<sub>x</sub></em>,0,0,<em class="arg">s<sub>y</sub></em> |
| 265 | </p> |
| 266 | |
| 267 | <p>Translation by a displacement (<em class="arg">t<sub>x</sub></em>, <em class="arg">t<sub>y</sub></em>) is accomplished like so:</p> |
| 268 | |
| 269 | <p class="crtsnip"> |
| 270 | -affine 1,0,0,1,<em class="arg">t<sub>x</sub></em>,<em class="arg">t<sub>y</sub></em> |
| 271 | </p> |
| 272 | |
| 273 | <p>Rotate clockwise about the origin (the upper left-hand corner) by an angle <em>a</em> by letting |
| 274 | <em>c</em> = cos(<em>a</em>), <em>s</em> = sin(<em>a</em>), and using the following.</p> |
| 275 | |
| 276 | <p class="crtsnip"> |
| 277 | -affine <em>c</em>,<em>s</em>,-<em>s</em>,<em>c</em> |
| 278 | </p> |
| 279 | |
| 280 | <p>The cumulative effect of a sequence of <a href="#affine" >-affine</a> transformations can be accomplished by instead by a single <a href="#affine" >-affine</a> operation using the matrix equal to the product of the matrices of the individual transformations.</p> |
| 281 | |
| 282 | <p>An attempt is made to detect near-singular transformation matrices. If the matrix determinant has a sufficiently small absolute value it is rejected.</p> |

| 392 | <p>Using <a href="#annotate">-annotate</a> <em class="arg">degrees</em> or <a href="#annotate">-annotate</a> <em class="arg">degrees</em>x<em class="arg">degrees</em> produces an unsheared rotation of the text.

| 1002 | <p>The second (LUT) image is ordinarily a gradient image containing the |

| 1008 | <p>The lookup is further controlled by the <a |

| 1012 | '<kbd>bicubic</kbd>' interpolation settings, which give smooth color |

| 1024 | set, it is treated by the <a href="#clut" >-clut</a> operator in the same way |

| 1438 | <p>See <a href="../www/command-line-processing.html#geometry">Image Geometry</a> for complete details about the <em class="arg">geometry</em> argument.</p> |
| 1439 | |
| 1440 | <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. To specify the amount to be removed, use <a href="#shave">-shave</a> instead.</p> |
| 1441 | |
| 1442 | <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. The offsets specify the location of the upper left corner of the cropping region measured downward and rightward with respect to the upper left corner of the image. 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> |
| 1443 | |
| 1444 | <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> |
| 1445 | |
| 1446 | <p>By adding a exclamation character flag to the geometry argument, the |
| 1447 | cropped images virtual canvas page size and offset is set as if the |
| 1448 | geometry argument was a viewport or window. This means the canvas page size |
| 1449 | is set to exactly the same size you specified, the image offset set |
| 1450 | relative top left corner of the region cropped. </p> |
| 1451 | |
| 1452 | <p>If the cropped image 'missed' the actual image on its virtual canvas, a |
| 1453 | special single pixel transparent 'missed' image is returned, and a 'crop |
| 1454 | missed' warning given. </p> |

| 1580 | PNG file is written. E.g., if you have a 1-bit black-and-white image, you |
| 1581 | can use these "defines" to cause it to be written as an 8-bit grayscale, |
| 1582 | indexed, or even a 64-bit RGBA. But if you have a 16-million color image, |
| 1583 | you cannot force it to be written as a grayscale or indexed PNG. If you |
| 1584 | wish to do this, you must use the appropriate <a href="#depth">-depth</a>, |
| 1585 | <a href="#colors">-colors</a>, or <a href="#type">-type</a> directives to |
| 1586 | reduce the image quality prior to using the PNG encoder. Note that in |
| 1587 | indexed PNG files, "bit-depth" refers to the number of bits per index, |
| 1588 | which can range from 1 to 8. In such files, the color samples always have |
| 1589 | 8-bit depth.</dd><br /> |

| 1646 | <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> |
| 1647 | |
| 1648 | <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> |
| 1649 | |
| 1650 | <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.

| 1694 | <p>With this option, the 'overlay' image, and optionally the 'mask' image, |
| cristy | d0bd44a | 2010-09-24 12:38:11 +0000 | [diff] [blame^] | 1695 | 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] | 1696 | what part of the 'background' image is seen at each point of the overlaid |
| 1697 | area. Much like the displacement map is a 'lens' that redirects light shining |
| 1698 | through it so as to present a distorted view the original 'background' image |
| 1699 | behind it. </p> |
| 1700 | |
| 1701 | <p>Any perfect grey areas of the displacement map produce a zero |
| 1702 | displacement of the image. Black areas produce the given maximum negative |
| 1703 | displacement of the lookup point, while white produce a maximum positive |
| 1704 | displacement of the lookup. </p> |
| 1705 | |
| 1706 | <p>Note that it is the lookup of the 'background' that is displaced, not a |
| 1707 | displacement of the image itself. As such an area of the displacement map |
| 1708 | containing 'white' will have the lookup point 'shifted' by a positive amount, |
| 1709 | and thus generating a copy of the destination image to the right/downward from |
| 1710 | the correct position. That is the image will look like it may have been |
| 1711 | 'shifted' in a negative left/upward direction. Understanding this is a very |
| 1712 | important in understanding how displacement maps work. </p> |
| 1713 | |
| 1714 | <p>The given arguments define the maximum amount of displacement in pixels |
| 1715 | that a particular map can produce. If the displacement scale is large enough |
| cristy | d0bda5e | 2010-09-21 16:22:45 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1716 | 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] | 1717 | outside the bounds of the displacement map itself. That is you could very |
| cristy | d0bda5e | 2010-09-21 16:22:45 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1718 | easily copy a section of the original image from outside the overlay area |
| cristy | 3ed852e | 2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1719 | into the overlay area. </p> |
| 1720 | |
| 1721 | <p>The '%' flag makes the displacement scale relative to the size of the |
| 1722 | overlay image (100% = half width/height of image). Using '!' switches |
| 1723 | percentage arguments to refer to the destination image size instead. |
| 1724 | these flags were added as of IM v6.5.3-5.</p> |
| 1725 | |
| 1726 | <p>Normally a single grayscale displacement map is provided, which with the |
| 1727 | given scaling values will determine a single direction (vector) in which |
| cristy | d0bda5e | 2010-09-21 16:22:45 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1728 | displacements can occur (positively or negatively). However, if you also |
| cristy | 3ed852e | 2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1729 | specify a third image which is normally used as a <em class="arg">mask</em>, |
| cristy | d0bd44a | 2010-09-24 12:38:11 +0000 | [diff] [blame^] | 1730 | the <em class="arg">composite image</em> is used for horizontal X |
| cristy | 3ed852e | 2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1731 | displacement, while the <em class="arg">mask image</em> is used for vertical Y |
| 1732 | displacement. This allows you to define completely different displacement |
| 1733 | values for the X and Y directions, and allowing you to lookup any point within |
| 1734 | 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] | 1735 | any other nearby pixel, producing complex 2 dimensional displacements, rather |

| 2148 | <p>Colors are acquired from the source image according to the <a |
| 2149 | href="#interpolate" >-interpolate</a> color lookup setting, when the image is |
| cristy | d0bd44a | 2010-09-24 12:38:11 +0000 | [diff] [blame^] | 2150 | magnified. However if the viewed image is minified (image becomes smaller), |
| 2151 | a special area resampling function (added ImageMagick v6.3.5-9), is used to |
| 2152 | produce a higher quality image. For example you can use |
| 2153 | a '<kbd>perspective</kbd>' distortion to view a infinitely tiled 'plane' all |
| 2154 | the way to the horizon. </p> |

| cristy | 3ed852e | 2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2160 | <p>Note that a infinitely tiled perspective images involving the horizon can |
| 2161 | be very slow to generate due to the use of the high quality 'area resampling' |
| 2162 | function (added ImageMagick v6.3.5-9). You can turn off 'area resampling' |
| 2163 | using a <a href="#filter" >-filter</a> setting of '<kbd>point</kbd>' |
| 2164 | (recommended if you plan to use super-sampling instead). </p> |
| 2165 | |
| 2166 | <p>If an image generates <i>invalid pixels</i>, such as the 'sky' in the last |
| 2167 | '<kbd>perspective</kbd>' distortion example, <a href="#distort" >-distort</a> |
| 2168 | will use the current <a href="#mattecolor" >-mattecolor</a> setting for these |
| 2169 | pixels. If you do not what these pixels to be visible, set the color to match |
| 2170 | the rest of the ground. </p> |
| 2171 | |
| 2172 | <p>The output image size will by default be the same as the input image. This |
| 2173 | 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^] | 2174 | the 'distorted space', those parts is clipped and lost. However if you use |
| 2175 | the plus form of the operator (<a href="#distort" >+distort</a>) the operator |
| 2176 | will attempt (if possible) to show the whole of the distorted image, while |
| 2177 | retaining a correct 'virtual canvas' offset, for image layering. This offset |
| 2178 | may need to be removed using <a href="#repage" >+repage</a>, to remove if it |
| 2179 | is unwanted. </p> |
| cristy | 3ed852e | 2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2180 | |
| 2181 | <p>You can alternatively specify a special "<kbd><a href="#set" >-set</a> |
| 2182 | option:distort:viewport {geometry_string}</kbd>" setting which will specify |
| 2183 | the size and the offset of the generated 'viewport' image of the distorted |
| 2184 | image space.</p> |
| 2185 | |
| 2186 | <p>Adding a "<kbd><a href="#set" >-set</a> option:distort:scale |
| 2187 | {scale_factor}</kbd>" will scale the output image (viewport or otherwise) by |
| 2188 | that factor without changing the viewed contents of the distorted image. This |
| 2189 | can be used either for 'super-sampling' the image for a higher quality result, |
| 2190 | or for panning and zooming around the image (with appropriate viewport |
| 2191 | changes, or post-distort cropping and resizing). </p> |
| 2192 | |
| 2193 | <p>Setting <a href="#verbose" >-verbose</a> setting, will cause <a |
| 2194 | href="#distort" >-distort</a> to attempt to output the internal coefficients, |
| 2195 | and the <a href="#fx" >-fx</a> equivalent to the distortion, for expert study, |
| 2196 | and debugging purposes. This many not be available for all distorts. </p> |
| 2197 | |
| 2198 | <p>Affine rotations and shears (such as '<kbd>SRT</kbd>' distortion), tend to |
| 2199 | produce a cleaner result that the equivalent <a href="#rotate" >-rotate</a> |
| 2200 | and/or <a href="#shear" >-shear</a> operation, with more control of due to the |
| cristy | d0bd44a | 2010-09-24 12:38:11 +0000 | [diff] [blame^] | 2201 | above settings. It is algorithmically slower however, though that may not be |
| 2202 | the case in ImageMagick's implementation. </p> |

| 2216 | leads to faster process, a smaller number of colors, but more cartoon like |
| 2217 | image coloring. Generally resulting in 'color banding' effects in areas with |

| 2231 | |
| 2232 | <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> |
| 2233 | |
| 2234 | <p>The shape primitives:</p> |
| 2235 | |
| 2236 | <pre class="text"> |
| 2237 | point x,y |
| 2238 | line x0,y0 x1,y1 |
| 2239 | rectangle x0,y0 x1,y1 |
| 2240 | roundRectangle x0,y0 x1,y1 wc,hc |

| 2247 | path path specification |
| 2248 | image operator x0,y0 w,h filename |
| 2249 | </pre> |
| 2250 | |
| 2251 | <p>The text primitive:</p> |
| 2252 | |
| 2253 | <pre class="text"> |
| 2254 | text x0,y0 string |
| 2255 | </pre> |
| 2256 | <p>The text gravity primitive:</p> |
| 2257 | |
| 2258 | <pre class="text"> |
| 2259 | gravity NorthWest, North, NorthEast, West, Center, |
| 2260 | East, SouthWest, South, or SouthEast |
| 2261 | </pre> |
| 2262 | |
| 2263 | <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> |
| 2264 | |
| 2265 | <p>The transformation primitives:</p> |
| 2266 | |
| 2267 | <pre class="text"> |
| 2268 | rotate degrees |
| 2269 | translate dx,dy |
| 2270 | scale sx,sy |
| 2271 | skewX degrees |
| 2272 | skewY degrees |
| 2273 | </pre> |
| 2274 | |
| 2275 | <p>The pixel operation primitives:</p> |
| 2276 | |
| 2277 | <pre class="text"> |
| 2278 | color x0,y0 method |
| 2279 | matte x0,y0 method |
| 2280 | </pre> |
| 2281 | |
| 2282 | <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> |
| 2283 | |
| 2284 | <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> |
| 2285 | |
| 2286 | <p>A <kbd>line</kbd> primitive requires a start point and end point.</p> |
| 2287 | |
| 2288 | <p>A <kbd>rectangle</kbd> primitive is specified by the pair of points at the upper left and lower right corners.</p> |
| 2289 | |
| 2290 | <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> |
| 2291 | |
| 2292 | <p>The <kbd>circle</kbd> primitive makes a disk (filled) or circle (unfilled). Give the center and any point on the perimeter (boundary).</p> |
| 2293 | |
| 2294 | <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> |
| 2295 | |
| 2296 | <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> |
| 2297 | |
| 2298 | <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>. |
| 2299 | </p> |
| 2300 | |
| 2301 | <p>A <em>coordinate</em> is a pair of integers separated by a space or optional comma. </p> |
| 2302 | |
| 2303 | <p>As an example, to define a circle centered at 100,100 that extends to 150,150 use:</p> |
| 2304 | |
| 2305 | <p class="crtsnip"> |
| 2306 | -draw 'circle 100,100 150,150' |
| 2307 | </p> |
| 2308 | |
| 2309 | <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 |
| 2310 | 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> |
| 2311 | |
| 2312 | <p class="crtsnip"> |
| 2313 | -draw 'bezier 20,50 45,100 45,0 70,50' |
| 2314 | </p> |
| 2315 | <p class="crtsnip"> |
| 2316 | -draw 'bezier 70,50 95,100 95,0 120,50' |
| 2317 | </p> |
| 2318 | |
| 2319 | |
| 2320 | <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> |
| 2321 | |
| 2322 | <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> |
| 2323 | |
| 2324 | <p class="crtsnip"> |
| 2325 | -draw 'image SrcOver 100,100 225,225 image.jpg' |
| 2326 | </p> |
| 2327 | |
| cristy | bc9539a | 2010-08-16 18:06:20 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2328 | <p>You can use 0,0 for the image size, which means to use the actual |
| 2329 | dimensions found in the image header. Otherwise, it is scaled to the given |
| 2330 | dimensions. See <a href="../www/compose.html">Alpha Compositing</a> for |
| 2331 | a detailed discussion of alpha composition methods that are available. </p> |
| cristy | 3ed852e | 2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2332 | |
| 2333 | <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> |
| 2334 | |
| 2335 | <p>For example, the following annotates the image with <kbd>Works like magick!</kbd> for an image titled <kbd>bird.miff</kbd>. </p> |
| 2336 | |
| 2337 | <p class="crtsnip"> |
| 2338 | -draw 'text 100,100 "Works like magick!"' |
| 2339 | </p> |
| 2340 | |
| 2341 | <p>See the <a href="#annotate">-annotate</a> option for another convenient way to annotate an image with text.</p> |
| 2342 | |
| 2343 | <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> |
| 2344 | |
| 2345 | <p>The <kbd>translate</kbd> primitive translates subsequent shape and text primitives.</p> |
| 2346 | |
| 2347 | <p>The <kbd>scale</kbd> primitive scales them.</p> |
| 2348 | |
| 2349 | <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> |
| 2350 | |
| 2351 | <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 |
| 2352 | matrix.</p> |
| 2353 | |
| 2354 | <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> |
| 2355 | |
| 2356 | <pre class="text"> |
| 2357 | point |
| 2358 | replace |
| 2359 | floodfill |
| 2360 | filltoborder |
| 2361 | reset |
| 2362 | </pre> |
| 2363 | |
| 2364 | <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> |
| 2365 | |
| 2366 | <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> |
| 2367 | |
| 2368 | <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> |
| 2369 | |
| 2370 | <p>Strings that begin with a number must be quoted (e.g. use '1.png' rather than 1.png).</p> |
| 2371 | |
| 2372 | <p>Drawing primitives conform to the <a href="../www/magick-vector-graphics.html">Magick Vector Graphics</a> format.</p> |

| 2529 | |
| 2530 | <p><kbd>Cosine</kbd> and <kbd>Sine</kbd> was added as of IM v6.4.8-8 and |

| 2532 | The synonyms <kbd>Cos</kbd> and <kbd>Sin</kbd> may also be used. The output |

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" target="_blank">Fourier Transform</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DFT" target="_blank">Discrete Fourier Transform</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFT" target="_blank">Fast Fourier Transform</a>.</p> |

| cristy | d0bd44a | 2010-09-24 12:38:11 +0000 | [diff] [blame^] | 2608 | <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" target="_blank">Complex Numbers</a>.<p> |
| cristy | 3ed852e | 2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2609 | |
| 2610 | <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> |
| 2611 | |
| 2612 | <p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert image.png -fft fft_image.miff</span></p> |
| 2613 | <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> |
| 2614 | |
| 2615 | <p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert image.png -fft fft_image.png</span></p> |
| 2616 | <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> |
| 2617 | |
| cristy | d0bd44a | 2010-09-24 12:38:11 +0000 | [diff] [blame^] | 2618 | <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] | 2619 | |
| 2620 | <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> |
| 2621 | |
| 2622 | <p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert fft_image.miff[0] -contrast-stretch 0 \ <br /> |
| 2623 | -evaluate log 1000 fft_image_spectrum.png</span></p> |
| 2624 | <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> |
| 2625 | |
| 2626 | <p>The <a href="http://www.fftw.org/" target="_blank">FFTW</a> delegate library is required to use <a href="#fft">-fft</a>. |
| 2627 | |
| 2628 | <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> |
| 2629 | |
| 2630 | <p>However, as the real and imaginary components can contain negative values, this requires that IM be configured with HDRI enabled.

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> |

| 3783 | <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> |
| 3784 | |
| 3785 | <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> |
| 3786 | |
| 3787 | <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> |
| 3788 | |
| 3789 | <p class="crtsnip"> |
| 3790 | -limit area 10mb |
| 3791 | </p> |
| 3792 | |
| cristy | d0bda5e | 2010-09-21 16:22:45 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3793 | <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] | 3794 | |
| 3795 | <p class="crtsnip"> |
| 3796 | -limit area 10mb -limit disk 500mb |
| 3797 | </p> |
| 3798 | |
| 3799 | <p>Here ImageMagick stops processing if an image requires more than 500MB of disk storage.</p> |
| 3800 | |
| 3801 | <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> |
| 3802 | |
| 3803 | <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. |

| 3816 | and uses a 'histogram bin' to determine the range of color values that needs to |
| 3817 | be stretched. However it then stretchs those colors using the <a |

| 3819 | |
| 3820 | <p>As such while the initial determination may have 'binning' round off |

| 3822 | histogram bins. This makes the operator more accurate. </p> |

| 3824 | <p>note however that a <a href="#linear-stretch" >-linear-stretch</a> of |

| 4450 | <p>This option is also used to place subimages when writing to a multi-image format that supports offsets, such as GIF89 and MNG. 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> |
| 4451 | |
| 4452 | <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> |

| 4585 | |
| 4586 | <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> |
| 4587 | |
| 4588 | <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> |
| 4589 | |
| 4590 | <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> |
| 4591 | |
| 4592 | <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> |
| 4593 | |
| 4594 | <p>For example, to extract the Exif data (which is stored in JPEG files in the <em class="arg">APP1</em> profile), use.</p> |
| 4595 | |
| 4596 | <p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert cockatoo.jpg profile.exif</span></p> |
| 4597 | <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> |
| 4598 | |
| 4599 | <p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert CMYK.tif -profile "CMYK.icc" -profile "RGB.icc" RGB.tiff</span></p> |
| 4600 | <p>Furthermore, since ICC profiles are not necessarily symmetric, extra conversion steps can yield unwanted results. |
| 4601 | CMYK profiles are often very asymmetric since they involve 3−>4 and 4−>3 channel mapping. |

| cristy | 851dbce | 2010-08-06 21:40:00 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4610 | <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> |

| 4612 | <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> |

| cristy | 851dbce | 2010-08-06 21:40:00 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4614 | <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> |

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> |

| 4991 | <p>The set value can also make use of <a href="../www/escape.html" >Format and Print Image |
| 4992 | Properties</a> in the defined value. For example:</p> |
| 4993 | |

| 5004 | attribute. </p> |
| 5005 | |
| 5006 | <p>This option can also associate a colorspace or profile with your image. |

| 5011 | example only 'properties' prefixed with "<kbd>filename:</kbd>" can be used to |
| 5012 | modify the output filename of an image. For example</p> |
| 5013 | |
| 5014 | <p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert rose: -set filename:mysize '%wx%h' 'rose_%[filename:mysize].png'</span></p> |
| 5015 | <p>If the setting value is prefixed with "<kbd>option:</kbd>" the setting will |
| 5016 | be saved as a global "Artifact" exactly as if it was set using the <a |
| cristy | d0bd44a | 2010-09-24 12:38:11 +0000 | [diff] [blame^] | 5017 | href="#define" >-define</a> option. As such settings are globel in scope, they |
| 5018 | can be used to pass 'attributes' and 'properities' of one specific image, |
| 5019 | in a way that allows you to use them in a completely different image, even if |
| 5020 | the original image has long since been modified or destroyed. For example: </p> |
| 5021 | |
| 5022 | <p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </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> |
| 5023 | <p>Note that <a href="../www/escape.html" >Format Percent Escapes</a> will only match |

| 5078 | |
| 5079 | <p>The shear angles may be positive, negative, or zero. When <em class="arg">Ydegrees</em> is omitted it defaults to 0. When both angles are given, the horizontal component of the shear is performed before the vertical component.</p> |
| 5080 | |
| 5081 | <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°<<em class="arg">Xdegrees</em><90° and to the left when 90°<<em class="arg">Xdegrees</em><180°. For vertical shears <em class="arg">Ydegrees</em> is measured clockwise relative to "right" (the positive x-axis), sliding the right edge down when 0°<<em class="arg">Ydegrees</em><90° and up when 90°<<em class="arg">Ydegrees</em><180°.</p> |
| 5082 | |
| 5083 | <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> |
| 5084 | |
| 5085 | <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> |
| 5086 | |
| 5087 | <p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert logo: -shear 20x0 -shear 0x60 logo-sheared.png</span><span class='crtout'></span><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert logo: -shear 0x60 -shear 20x0 logo-sheared.png</span></p> |
| 5088 | <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> |

| 5406 | <p> The threshold value can be given as a percentage or as an absolute integer value corresponding to the desired channel value.

For that reason, a reasonable recommendation for most applications is to specify the threshold values as a percentage. |

| 5520 | However the <a href="#transparent" >-transparent</a> operator also ensures |

| 5536 | <p>Sometimes this is used for saving to image formats such as |

| 5541 | |
| 5542 | <p>This option allows you to have both an opaque visible color, as well as a |
