Image processing operations are available from the command line. Bindings to various programming languages are also available. Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &imagemagick-md5sum; Download size: &imagemagick-size; Estimated disk space required: &imagemagick-buildsize; Estimated build time: &imagemagick-time; The ImageMagick source releases are updated frequently and the version shown above may no longer be available from the download locations. You can download a more recent version and use the existing BLFS instructions to install it. Chances are that it will work just fine, but this has not been tested by the BLFS team. If the package version shown above is not available from the locations shown above, you can download it from the BLFS package server at . ImageMagick Dependencies Recommended The optional dependencies listed below should be installed if you need support for the specific format or the conversion tool the dependency provides. Many of the dependencies' capabilities and uses are described in the MAGICK DELEGATES section of the README.txt file located in the source tree. Additional information about the dependencies can be found in the Install-unix.txt file located in the source tree as well as issuing the ./configure --help command. A summary of this information, as well as some additional notes can be viewed on-line at . Optional System Utilities or (or any other print utility that provides an lpr command), dcraw, Dmalloc, Electric Fence, PGP or or (you'll have to do some hacking to use GnuPG), , and Optional Graphics Libraries corefonts, FlashPIX (or FlashPIX library), , , JBIG-KIT, , , , , , , , DjVuLibre, and RALCGM (or RALCGM-3.50) Optional Graphics Utilities or , GhostPCL, , Gnuplot, , POV-Ray, and Radiance Optional Conversion Tools AutoTrace, , hp2xx, html2ps, libwmf, MPEG-2 Video Codec, Netpbm, , Transfig, txt2html (requires and Perl Module Getopt::ArgvFile), and Utah Raster Toolkit (or URT-3.1b) User Notes: Installation of ImageMagick Install Imagemagick by running the following commands: sed -i -e "s/\xc2\xae/\\\[rg\]/g" \ -e "s/B...'e./Be/" utilities/ImageMagick.1.in && ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-modules && make To test the results, issue: make check. Note that some of the tests may fail due to system and/or build parameter settings. Now, as the root user: make install Command Explanations sed -i -e "..." -e "...": One man page is installed with character encoding not displayable using the Man-db package. This command changes the offending bytes to characters man can properly display. --with-modules: Enables support for dynamically loadable modules. : Enables support to use the Ghostscript shared library. : Enables support to use the FlashPix library. : This option specifies the directory where the Windows CoreFonts are installed. The options and parameters listed above are the only ones you should have to pass to the configure script to activate all the delegate dependencies. All other dependencies will be automatically detected and utilized in the build if they are installed. Contents Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories animate, compare, composite, conjure, convert, display, identify, import, Magick-config, Magick++-config, mogrify, montage, stream, and Wand-config libMagick.{so,a}, libMagick++.{so,a}, libWand.{so,a}, the Magick.so Perl module, and numerous plugin modules /usr/include/Magick++, /usr/include/magick, /usr/include/wand, /usr/lib/ImageMagick-&imagemagick-version;, /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/&lfs-perl-version;/i686-linux/auto/Image/Magick, /usr/share/ImageMagick-&imagemagick-version; and /usr/share/doc/ImageMagick-&imagemagick-version; Short Descriptions animate animates a sequence of images. animate compare compares an image to a reconstructed image. compare composite composites various images into the given base image. composite conjure processes a MSL script to create an image. conjure convert converts image(s) from one format to another. convert display displays an image. display identify describes the format and characteristics of an image file. identify import captures an X window. import Magick-config and Magick++-config show information about the installed versions of ImageMagick and Magick++. Magick-config mogrify transforms an image. mogrify montage composites various images into a new image. montage stream streams one or more pixel components of an image or portion of the image to your choice of storage formats. stream Wand-config shows the options required to use the Wand library. Wand-config Image::Magick allows the reading, manipulation and writing of a large number of image file formats using the ImageMagick library. Run make in the PerlMagick/demo directory of the package source tree after the package is installed to see a nice demo of the module's capabilities. Image::Magick
