Q-Magick - ImageMagick interface for the Q programming language
======== = =========== ========= === === = =========== ========

This module provides an interface to the ImageMagick C API (libMagick), a
comprehensive library for image manipulation, see http://www.imagemagick.org/.
With this module, you can create, load, save and manipulate images stored in a
plethora of different file formats. Operations to retrieve and modify the
pixel data of an image are also provided. Since the external pixel
representation is compatible with that of the Q-GGI module, you can easily
exchange pixel data between images and GGI visuals as well.

The module requires that you have ImageMagick installed, which should be
readily available in most Linux distributions; installers for Windows are
available from http://www.imagemagick.org/. Versions >= 5.4.7 have been
tested, older versions might require some work.

Please see magick.q for a description of the functions provided by this
module. For more in-depth information about ImageMagick please refer to the
corresponding manual pages. A few sample scripts are also provided; you can
find these, once installed, in the <q-prefix>/share/q/examples/magick
directory.


Enjoy! :)
