194 <h1>MagickCore C API</h1>
196 <div class="doc-section">
198 <p>The <a href="../www/api/MagickCore/index.html">MagickCore API</a> is a low-level interface between the C programming language and the ImageMagick image processing libraries and is recommended for wizard-level programmers only. Unlike the <a href="../www/magick-wand.html">MagickWand</a> C API which uses only a few opaque types and accessors, with MagickCore you almost exlusively access the structure members directly.
