<title>ImageMagick - C Application Programming Interface</title>
<meta name="Description"
content="ImageMagick is a robust collection of tools and libraries to read, write, and manipulate an image in many image formats including popular formats like TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, and GIF. With ImageMagick you can create images dynamically, making it suitable for Web applications. You can also resize, rotate, sharpen, color reduce, or add special effects to an image or image sequence and save your completed work in the same or differing image format. Image processing operations are available from the command line, as well as through C, C++, Perl, or Java programming interfaces." />

<p><b>ImageMagick</b> has a number of functions that allow you to
read, manipulate, write, or display an image. These functions are
accessible through the various <a href="tools.html">tools</a> or
the object-oriented Perl interface,
<a href="perl.html">PerlMagick</a>. However, you can also access
the functions directly from your program through the Magick
Application Programmer Interface. To invoke the functions, write
your program in your favorite language while making calls to the
Magick image functions and link with <tt>libMagick.a</tt>,
<tt>libMagick.so</tt>, or <tt>Magick.dll</tt> depending on your
system.</p>
<p>The Magick Wand API is a new high level interface to the
ImageMagick. The Wand API is recommended over the core API below.

<p>Here is a sample program to get you started. To find out about
all the functions that are available, read the source code. Each
function is delineated with a full rows of percent signs with
comments describing the parameters required for the function and
what it does. For ease in finding a function, they are sorted in
alphabetical order. Most of the image functions are found in
<tt>image.c</tt> and <tt>effects.c</tt>.</p>
<p>Here is a full example of a program, <tt>demo.c</tt>, that reads
a GIF image, creates a thumbnail, and writes it to disk in the MIFF
image format.</p>
<pre>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <magick/api.h>
int main(int argc,char **argv)
{
ExceptionInfo
exception;
Image
*image,
*images,
*resize_image,
*thumbnails;
ImageInfo
*image_info;
/*
Initialize the image info structure and read an image.
*/
InitializeMagick(*argv);
GetExceptionInfo(&exception);
image_info=CloneImageInfo((ImageInfo *) NULL);
(void) strcpy(image_info->filename,"image.gif");
images=ReadImage(image_info,&exception);
if (exception.severity != UndefinedException)
CatchException(&exception);
if (images == (Image *) NULL)
exit(1);
/*
Turn the images into a thumbnail sequence.
*/
thumbnails=NewImageList();
while ((image=RemoveFirstImageFromList(&images)) != (Image *) NULL)
{
resize_image=ResizeImage(image,106,80,LanczosFilter,1.0,&exception);
if (resize_image == (Image *) NULL)
MagickError(exception.severity,exception.reason,exception.description);
(void) AppendImageToList(&thumbnails,resize_image);
DestroyImage(image);
}
/*
Write the image as MIFF and destroy it.
*/
(void) strcpy(thumbnails->filename,"image.miff");
WriteImage(image_info,thumbnails);
DestroyImageList(thumbnails);
DestroyImageInfo(image_info);
DestroyExceptionInfo(&exception);
DestroyMagick();
return(0);
}
</pre>
<p>
Now we need to compile. On Unix, the command would look something
like this:
<pre>
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib
gcc `Magick-config --cflags --cppflags` demo.c `Magick-config --ldflags --libs`
</pre>
Another example is <a href="smile.c">smile.c</a>. Compile and
excute it to display a smiley face on your X server.
<p>Now lets port the above program to use the Magick Wand API:</p>
<pre>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <wand/magick_wand.h>
int main(int argc,char **argv)
{
#define ThrowWandException(wand) \
{ \
char \
*description; \
\
ExceptionType \
severity; \
\
description=MagickGetException(wand,&severity); \
(void) fprintf(stderr,"%s %s %ld %s\n",GetMagickModule(),description); \
MagickRelinquishMemory(description); \
exit(-1); \
}
MagickBooleanType
status;
MagickWand
*magick_wand;
/*
Read an image.
*/
magick_wand=NewMagickWand();
status=MagickReadImage(magick_wand,"image.gif");
if (status == MagickFalse)
ThrowWandException(magick_wand);
/*
Turn the images into a thumbnail sequence.
*/
MagickResetIterator(magick_wand);
while (MagickNextImage(magick_wand) != MagickFalse)
MagickResizeImage(magick_wand,106,80,LanczosFilter,1.0);
/*
Write the image as MIFF and destroy it.
*/
status=MagickWriteImages(magick_wand,"image.miff",True);
if (status == MagickFalse)
ThrowWandException(magick_wand);
return(0);
}
</pre>
<p>To compile, type:</p>
<pre>
cc `Wand-config --cflags --cppflags` demo.c `Wand-config --ldflags --libs`
</pre>
<p>For <a href='http://studio.imagemagick.org/www/Magick++/index.html'>C++</a>,
use:</p>
<pre>
c++ `Magick++-config --cxxflags --cppflags` demo.cpp `Magick++-config --ldflags --libs`
</pre>
