ImageMagick-7.1.0-61
Introduction to ImageMagick
ImageMagick is a collection of
tools and libraries to read, write, and manipulate an image in
various image formats. Image processing operations are available
from the command line. Bindings for Perl and C++ are also
available.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 11.3
platform.
Package Information
Note
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 Oregon State University:
ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/blfs/conglomeration/ImageMagick/.

Installation of ImageMagick
Install ImageMagick by running the
following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--enable-hdri \
--with-modules \
--with-perl \
--disable-static &&
make
Now, as the root
user:
make DOCUMENTATION_PATH=/usr/share/doc/imagemagick-7.1.0 install
To test the installation, issue: make
check. Note that the EPS, PS, and PDF tests require
a working Ghostscript. One test in
'make check' needs “Helvetica” from “Ghostscript Standard
Fonts”, which are optionally installed in
ghostscript-10.00.0 - that test, and one
other, might fail, but all the validation can still pass.
Command Explanations
--enable-hdri
: Enables
building of a high dynamic range version of ImageMagick.
--with-modules
: Enables
support for dynamically loadable modules.
--with-perl
: Enables
building and installing of PerlMagick.
--disable-static
: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
--with-gslib
: Enables support to use
the Ghostscript shared library.
--with-rsvg
: Enables support to use the
librsvg library.
--with-autotrace
: Enables support to
use the Autotrace library.
--with-wmf
: Enables support to use the
libwmf library.
--with-gvc
: Enables support to use
GraphViz.
--with-windows-font-dir= <Some/Directory>
: This
option specifies the directory where the Windows CoreFonts are
installed.
--with-dejavu-font-dir= <Some/Directory>
: This
option specifies the directory where the DejaVu fonts 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.

compares an image to a reconstructed image
|
composite
|
composites various images into the given base image
|

|
processes a MSL script to create an image
|
convert
|
converts image(s) from one format to another
|
display
|
displays an image
|
identify
|
describes the format and characteristics of an image file
|

blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw on, flip, join,
re-sample and much more
|
Magick{++,Core,Wand}-config
|
show information about the installed versions of the
ImageMagick libraries
|
mogrify
|
transforms an image
|
montage
|
composites various images into a new image
|
stream
|
streams one or more pixel components of an image or
portion of the image to your choice of storage formats
|
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
|
libMagickCore-7.Q16HDRI.so
|
provides the C API for ImageMagick
|
libMagickWand-7.Q16HDRI.so
|
is the recommended C API for ImageMagick. Unlike the
MagickCore API it uses only a few opaque types
|
libMagick++-7.Q16HDRI.so
|
