ImageMagick (TM) is a package for display and interactive manipulation of images for the System. It is written in C and interfaces to the X library, and therefore does not require any proprietary toolkit in order to compile. Although ImageMagick is copyrighted, it is available for free and can be redistributed without fee.

1. Imagemagick Software

The functionality of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command line or you can use the features from programs written in your favorite language. ImageMagick is known to compile and run on virtually any Unix system. It also runs under Windows NT, Windows 95, Macintosh, and VMS.

Imagemagick Software

ImageMagick is a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images. It can read, convert and write images in a large variety of formats. Images can be cropped, colors can be changed, various effects can be applied, images can be rotated and combined, and text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bezier curves can be added to images and stretched and rotated. Most of the functionality of ImageMagick can be used interactively from the command line; more often, however, the features are used from programs written in the programming languages C, Ch, C, Java, Lisp, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Tcl/Tk, for which ready-made ImageMagick interfaces (MagickCore, MagickWand, PerlMagick, Magick, PythonMagick, MagickWand for PHP, RMagick, TclMagick, LMagick, and JMagick) are available. This makes it possible to modify or create images automatically and dynamically.
