<p class="magick-description">The <a href="command-line-options.html#define">-define</a> command-line option adds specific global settings generally used to control coders and image processing operations.</p>

<p>This option creates one or more definitions for coders and decoders to use
while reading and writing image data.  Definitions are generally used to
control image file format coder modules, and image processing operations,
beyond what is provided by normal means.  Defined settings are listed in <a href="command-line-options.html#verbose">-verbose</a> information ("<samp>info:</samp>" output format) as "Artifacts". </p>

<p>If <var>value</var> is missing for a definition, an empty-valued
definition of a flag is created with that name. This used to control on/off
options.  Use <a href="command-line-options.html#define">-define keys</a> to remove definitions
previously created.  Use <a href="command-line-options.html#define">+define "*"</a> to remove all existing definitions.</p>

<p>The same 'artifact' settings can also be defined using the <a href="command-line-options.html#set">-set "option:<var>key</var>" "<var>value</var>"</a> option, which also allows the use of <a href="../www/escape.html" >Format and Print Image Properties</a> in the defined value. </p>

<p>The <var>option</var> and <var>key</var> are case-independent (they are
converted to lowercase for use within the decoders) while the <var>value</var>
is case-dependent.</p>

<p>Such settings are global in scope, and affect all images and operations. </p>

<pre class="p-3 mb-2 text-body-secondary bg-body-tertiary cli"><samp>magick bilevel.tif -define ps:imagemask eps3:stencil.ps
magick arrow.tga -set colorspace:auto-grayscale=off myArrow.tga </samp></pre>

<p>Set attributes of the image registry by prefixing the value with
<samp>registry:</samp>.  For example, to set a temporary path to put work files,
use:</p>

<pre class="p-3 mb-2 text-body-secondary bg-body-tertiary"><samp>-define registry:temporary-path=/data/tmp </samp></pre>

<p>Here is a list of recognized defines:</p>

    This property is useful for specifying
    the specific PNG format to be used, when the usual method of prepending the
    format name to the output filename is inconvenient, such as when writing
    a PNG-encoded ICO file or when using <a href="mogrify.html">mogrify</a>.
    Value = <var>png8</var> reduces the number of colors to 256,
    only one of which may be fully transparent, if necessary.  The other
    values do not force any reduction of quality; it is an error to request
    a format that cannot represent the image data without loss (except that
    it is allowed to reduce the bit-depth from 16 to 8 for all formats).
    Value = <var>png24</var> and <var>png48</var>
    allow transparency, only if a single color is fully transparent and that
    color does not also appear in an opaque pixel; such transparency is
    written in a PNG <samp>tRNS</samp> chunk.
    Value = <var>png00</var> causes the image to inherit its
    color-type and bit-depth from the input image, if the input was also
    a PNG.</td>

  <tr>
    <td>png:include-chunk=<var>value</var></td>
    <td>ancillary chunks to be excluded from or included in PNG output.

    <p>The <var>value</var> can be the name of a PNG chunk-type such
    as <var>bKGD</var>, a comma-separated list of chunk-names
    (which can include the word <var>date</var>, the word
    <var>all</var>, or the word <var>none</var>).
    Although PNG chunk-names are case-dependent, you can use all lowercase
    names if you prefer.</p>

    <p>The "include-chunk" and "exclude-chunk" lists only affect the behavior
    of the PNG encoder and have no effect on the PNG decoder.</p>

    <p>As a special case, if the <samp>sRGB</samp> chunk is excluded and
    the <samp>gAMA</samp> chunk is included, the <samp>gAMA</samp> chunk will
    only be written if gamma is not 1/2.2, since most decoders do not assume
    sRGB for gAMA=0.45455 when no colorspace information is included in
    the PNG file.  Because the list is processed from left to right, you
    can achieve this with a single define:</p>

    <pre class="p-3 mb-2 text-body-secondary bg-body-tertiary"><samp>-define png:include-chunk=none,gAMA
    </samp></pre>

    <p>As a special case, if the <samp>sRGB</samp> chunk is not excluded and
    the PNG encoder recognizes that the image contains the sRGB ICC profile,
    the PNG encoder will write the <samp>sRGB</samp> chunk instead of the
    entire ICC profile.  To force the PNG encoder to write the sRGB
    profile as an <samp>iCCP</samp> chunk in the output PNG instead of the
    <samp>sRGB</samp> chunk, exclude the <samp>sRGB</samp> chunk.</p>

    <p>The critical PNG chunks <samp>IHDR</samp>, <samp>PLTE</samp>,
    <samp>IDAT</samp>, and <samp>IEND</samp> cannot be excluded.  Any such
    entries appearing in the list will be ignored.</p>

    <p>If the ancillary PNG <samp>tRNS</samp> chunk is excluded and the
    image has transparency, the PNG colortype is forced to be 4 or 6
    (GRAY_ALPHA or RGBA).  If the image is not transparent, then the
    <samp>tRNS</samp> chunk isn't written anyhow, and there is no effect
    on the PNG colortype of the output image.</p>

    <p>The <a href="command-line-options.html#strip">-strip</a>
    option does the equivalent of the following for PNG output:</p>

    <pre class="p-3 mb-2 text-body-secondary bg-body-tertiary"><samp>-define png:exclude-chunk=EXIF,iCCP,iTXt,sRGB,tEXt,zCCP,zTXt,date</samp></pre>

    <p>The default behavior is to include all known PNG ancillary chunks
    plus ImageMagick's private <samp>vpAg</samp> ("virtual page") chunk,
    and to exclude all PNG chunks that are unknown to ImageMagick,
    regardless of their PNG "copy-safe" status as described in the
    PNG specification.</p>

    <p>Any chunk names that are not known to ImageMagick are ignored
    if they appear in either the "include-chunk" or "exclude-chunk" list.
    The ancillary chunks currently known to ImageMagick are
    <samp>bKGD</samp>, <samp>cHRM</samp>, <samp>gAMA</samp>, <samp>iCCP</samp>,
    <samp>oFFs</samp>, <samp>orNT</samp>, <samp>pHYs</samp>, <samp>sRGB</samp>, <samp>tEXt</samp>,
    <samp>tRNS</samp>, <samp>vpAg</samp>, and <samp>zTXt</samp>.</p>

    <p>You can also put <samp>date</samp> in the list to include or exclude
    the "Date:create" and "Date:modify" text chunks that ImageMagick normally
    inserts in the output PNG.</p></td>
