ImageMagick (1)
ImageMagick is an X11 package for display and interactive
manipulation of images.
DESCRIPTION
ImageMagick, version 4.2.9, is a robust collection of tools and
libraries to read, write, and manipulate an image in any of the more
popular image formats including GIF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, and Photo CD. With
ImageMagick you can create GIFs dynamically making it suitable for Web
applications. You can also resize, rotate, sharpen, color reduce, or
add special effects to an image and save your completed work in the
same or differing image format. Although the software is copyrighted,
it is available for free and can be redistributed without fee.
ImageMagick is available via anonymous FTP as
ftp://ftp.wizards.dupont.com/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-4.2.9.tar.gz.
display
Display is a machine architecture independent image and display
program. It can display an image on any workstation display
running an X server. Display can read and write many of the more
popular image formats (e.g. JPEG, TIFF, PNM, Photo CD, etc.). You can
perform these functions on the image:
o load an image from a file
o display the next image
o display the former image
o display a sequence of images as a slide show
o write the image to a file
o print the image to a Postscript printer
o delete the image file
o create a Visual Image Directory
o select the image to display by its thumbnail rather than name
o undo last image transformation
o copy a region of the image
o paste a region to the image
o restore the image to its original size
o refresh the image
o half the image size
o double the image size
o resize the image
o crop the image
o cut the image
o flop image in the horizontal direction
o flip image in the vertical direction
o rotate the image 90 degrees clockwise
o rotate the image 90 degrees counter-clockwise
o rotate the image
o shear the image
o trim the image edges
o invert the colors of the image
o vary the color brightness
o vary the color saturation
o vary the image hue
o gamma correct the image
o sharpen the image contrast
o dull the image contrast
o perform histogram equalization on the image
o perform histogram normalization on the image
o negate the image colors
o toggle the colormap type: : Shared or Private
o reduce the speckles within an image
o eliminate peak noise from an image
o detect edges within the image
o emboss an image
o oil paint an image
o convert the image to grayscale
o set the maximum number of unique colors in the image
o segment the image by color
o apply image processing techniques to a region of interest
o annotate the image with text
o draw on the image
o edit an image pixel color
o edit the image matte information
o composite an image with another
o add a border to the image
o surround image with an ornamental border
o add an image comment
o display image centered on a backdrop
o display image to background of a window
o display information about the image
o display information about this program
o discard all images and exit program
o change the level of magnification
o display images specified by a World Wide Web (WWW) uniform resource locator (URL)
import
Import reads an image from 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. You can use the display (see display(1)) utility for
redisplay, printing, editing, formatting, archiving, image
processing, etc. of the captured image.
The target window can be specified by id, name, or may be
selected by clicking the mouse in the desired window. If
you press a button and then drag, a rectangle will form
which expands and contracts as the mouse moves. To save the
portion of the screen defined by the rectangle, just
release the button. The keyboard bell is rung once at the
beginning of the screen capture and twice when it completes.
animate
Animate displays a sequence of images on any workstation
display running an X server. Animate first determines the
hardware capabilities of the workstation. If the number of
unique colors in an image is less than or equal to the
number the workstation can support, the image is displayed
in an X window. Otherwise the number of colors in the image
is first reduced to match the color resolution of the
workstation before it is displayed.
This means that a continuous-tone 24 bits/pixel image can
display on a 8 bit pseudo-color device or monochrome device.
In most instances the reduced color image closely resembles
the original. Alternatively, a monochrome or pseudo-color
image sequence can display on a continuous-tone 24
bits/pixels device.
montage
Montage creates a composite image by combining several
separate images. The images are tiled on the composite
image with the name of the image optionally appearing just
below the individual tile.
convert
Convert converts an input file using one image format to an
output file with a differing image format. By default, the
image format is determined by its magic number. To specify
a particular image format, precede the filename with an
image format name and a colon (i.e. ps:image) or specify
the image type as the filename suffix (i.e. image.ps).
Specify file as - for standard input or output. If file has
the extension .Z, the file is decoded with uncompress.
mogrify
Mogrify transforms an image or a sequence of images. These
transforms include image scaling, image rotation, color
reduction, and others. The transmogrified image overwrites
the original image.
identify
describes the format and characteristics of one or more image files.
It will also report if an image is incomplete or corrupt. The
information displayed includes the scene number, the file name, the
width and height of the image, whether the image is colormapped or not,
the number of colors in the image, the number of bytes in the image,
the format of the image (JPEG, PNM, etc.), and finally the number of
seconds it took to read and process the image.
combine
Combine combines images to create new images.
xtp
Xtp is a utility for retrieving, listing, or printing files
from a remote network site, or sending files to a remote
network site. Xtp performs most of the same functions as
the ftp program, but does not require any interactive
commands. You simply specify the file transfer task on the
command line and xtp performs the task automatically.
