18 <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."/>

154 <div class="doc-section">
155 <p>The <kbd>conjure</kbd> program gives you the ability to perform custom image processing tasks from a script written in the Magick Scripting Language (MSL). MSL is XML-based and consists of action statements with attributes. Actions include reading an image, processing an image, getting attributes from an image, writing an image, and more. An attribute is a key/value pair that modifies the behavior of an action. See <a href="../www/command-line-processing.html">Command Line Processing</a> for advice on how to structure your <kbd>conjure</kbd> command or see below for example usages of the command.</p>
158 <h2><a name="usage"></a>Example Usage</h2>
159 <div class="doc-section">
161 <p>We list a few examples of the <kbd>conjure</kbd> command here to illustrate its usefulness and ease of use. To get started, here is simple <kbd>conjure</kbd> command:</p>
163 <p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>conjure -dimensions 400x400 incantation.msl</span></p>
164 <p>The MSL script <a href="../www/source/incantation.msl">incantation.msl</a> used above is here:</p>
167 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
168 <image size="400x400">
169 <read filename="image.gif" />
170 <get width="base-width" height="base-height" />
171 <resize geometry="%[dimensions]" />
172 <get width="width" height="height" />
173 <print output="Image sized from %[base-width]x%[base-height] to %[width]x%[height].\n" />
174 <write filename="image.png" />
178 <p>In this example, a family stayed home for their vacation but as far as their friends are concerned they went to a beautiful beach in the Caribbean:</p>
181 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
183 <image id="family">
184 <read filename="family.gif"/>
185 <resize geometry="300x300"/>
187 <image id="palm-trees">
188 <read filename="palm-trees.gif"/>
189 <resize geometry="300x100"/>
192 <read filename="beach.jpg"/>
193 <composite image="family" geometry="+30+40"/>
194 <composite image="palm-trees" geometry="+320+90"/>
196 <write filename="family-vacation.png"/>
200 <p>Here we display the width in pixels of text for a particular font and pointsize.</p>
203 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
205 <query-font-metrics text="ImageMagick" font="helvetica" pointsize="48" />
206 <print output="Text width is %[msl:font-metrics.width] pixels.\n" />
210 <p>The <kbd>query-font-metrics</kbd> tag supports these properties:</p>
213 msl:font-metrics.pixels_per_em.x
214 msl:font-metrics.pixels_per_em.y
215 msl:font-metrics.ascent
216 msl:font-metrics.descent
217 msl:font-metrics.width
218 msl:font-metrics.height
219 msl:font-metrics.max_advance
220 msl:font-metrics.bounds.x1
221 msl:font-metrics.bounds.y1
222 msl:font-metrics.bounds.x2
223 msl:font-metrics.bounds.y2
224 msl:font-metrics.origin.x
225 msl:font-metrics.origin.y
228 <p>MSL supports most methods and attributes discussed in the <a href="../www/perl-magick.html">Perl API for ImageMagick</a>.
231 <p>In addition, MSL supports the <kbd>swap</kbd> element with a single <kbd>indexes</kbd> element.</p>
233 <p>You can find additional examples of using <kbd>conjure</kbd> in <a href="http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-graf/?ca=dnt-428">Graphics from the Command Line</a>. Further discussion is available in <a href="http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-graf2/?ca=dgr-lnxw15GraphicsLine">More Graphics from the Command Line</a> and <a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/">Examples of ImageMagick Usage</a>.</p>
