NAME
       ImageMagick  -  is a free software suite for the creation, modification
       and display of bitmap images.  convert input-file [options] output-file

OVERVIEW
       ImageMagickTM, version 6.2.0, is a free software	 suite	for  the  cre‐
       ation,  modification and display of 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	Bézier
       curves can be added to images and stretched and rotated.

       ImageMagick is free software: it is delivered with full source code and
       can be freely used, copied, modified and distributed.  Its  license  is
       compatible with the GPL. It runs on all major operating systems.

       Most of the functionality of ImageMagick can be used interactively from
       the command line; more often, however, the features are used from  pro‐
       grams  written  in the programming languages Perl, C, C++, Python, PHP,
       Ruby, Tcl/Tk or	Java,  for  which  ready-made  ImageMagick  interfaces
       (PerlMagick,  Magick++,	PythonMagick,  MagickWand  for	PHP,  RMagick,
       TclMagick, and JMagick) are available. This makes it possible to modify
       or create images automatically and dynamically.

       ImageMagick supports many image formats (over 90 major formats) includ‐
       ing popular formats like TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, and GIF.

       ImageMagick includes a number of command-line utilities for  manipulat‐
       ing  images. Most of you are probably accustom to editing images one at
       a time with a graphical user interface (GUI) with such programs as gimp
       or Photoshop. However, a GUI is not always convenient. Suppose you want
       to process an image dynamically from a web script or you want to	 apply
       the  same  operations  to many images or repeat a specific operation at
       different times to the same or different	 image.	 For  these  types  of
       operations, the command-line image processing utility is appropriate.

       In the paragraphs below, find a short description for each command-line
       tool.Click on the program name to get details on the program usage  and
       a list of command-line options that alters how the program performs. If
       you are just getting acquianted with ImageMagick, start at the  top  of
       the  list, the convert program, and work your way dowm. Also be sure to
       peruse Anthony Thyssen's tutorial on how to use	ImageMagick  utilities
       to convert, compose, or edit images from the command-line.

       convert

	      convert  between image formats as well as resize an image, blur,
	      crop, despeckle, dither, draw on,	 flip,	join,  re-sample,  and
	      much more.

       identify

	      describes	 the  format  and characteristics of one or more image
	      files.  mogrify

	      resize an image, blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw  on,	 flip,
	      join,  re-sample, and much more. Mogrify overwrites the original
	      image file, whereas, convert writes to a different image file.

       composite

	      overlaps one image over another.

       montage

	      create a composite image by combining several  separate  images.
	      The  images  are	tiled on the composite image optionall adorned
	      with a border, frame, image name, and more.

       compare

	      mathematically and visually annotate the difference  between  an
	      image and its reconstruction..

       display

	      displays an image or image sequence on any X server.

       animate

	      animates an image sequence on any X server.

       import

	      saves  any  visible  window  on an X server and outputs it as an
	      image file. You can capture a single window, the entire  screen,
	      or any rectangular portion of the screen.

       conjure

	      interprets  and executes scripts written in the Magick Scripting
	      Language (MSL).
