|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>This option is enabled by default. An attempt is made to save all images of
|
|
|
an image sequence into the given output file. However, some formats, such as
|
|
|
JPEG and PNG, do not support more than one image per file, and in that case
|
|
|
ImageMagick is forced to write each image as a separate file. As such, if
|
|
|
more than one image needs to be written, the filename given is modified by
|
|
|
adding a <a href="command-line-options.html#scene">-scene</a> number before the suffix, in order to
|
|
|
make distinct names for each image. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Use <a href="command-line-options.html#adjoin">+adjoin</a> to force each image to be written to
|
|
|
separate files, whether or not the file format allows multiple images per file
|
|
|
(for example, GIF, MIFF, and TIFF). </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Including a C-style integer format string in the output filename will
|
|
|
automagically enable <a href="command-line-options.html#adjoin">+adjoin</a> and are used to specify
|
|
|
where the <a href="command-line-options.html#scene">-scene</a> number is placed in the filenames. These
|
|
|
strings, such as '<code>%d</code>' or '<code>%03d</code>', are familiar to those
|
|
|
who have used the standard <code>printf()</code>' C-library function. As an
|
|
|
example, the command</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre class="highlight"><code>magick logo: rose: -morph 15 my%02dmorph.jpg
|
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>will create a sequence of 17 images (the two given plus 15 more created by

<a href="command-line-options.html#morph">-morph</a>), named: my00morph.jpg, my01morph.jpg,
|
|
|
my02morph.jpg, ..., my16morph.jpg. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>In summary, ImageMagick tries to write all images to one file, but will
|
|
|
save to multiple files, if any of the following conditions exist...</p>
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
<li>the output image's file format does not allow multi-image files,</li>

<p>This option sets a transformation matrix, for use by subsequent <a

|
|
|
|

|
<p>The matrix entries are entered as comma-separated numeric values either in
|
|
|
quotes or without spaces. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Internally, the transformation matrix has 3x3 elements, but three of them
|
|
|
are omitted from the input because they are constant. The new (transformed)
|
|
|
coordinates (<var>x'</var>, <var>y'</var>) of a pixel at
|
|
|
position (<var>x</var>, <var>y</var>) in the original
|
|
|
image are calculated using the following matrix equation.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p class="text-center"><img class="img-thumbnail" alt="affine transformation" src="../images/affine.png"/> </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> The size of the resulting image is that of the smallest rectangle that

|
|
contains the transformed source image. The parameters
|
|
|
<var>t<sub>x</sub></var> and <var>t<sub>y</sub></var>
|
|
|
subsequently shift the image pixels so that those that are moved out of the
|
|
|
image area are cut off.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The transformation matrix complies with the left-handed pixel coordinate
|
|
|
system: positive <var>x</var> and <var>y</var> directions
|
|
|
are rightward and downward, resp.; positive rotation is clockwise.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> If the translation coefficients <var>t<sub>x</sub></var> and
|
|
|
<var>t<sub>y</sub></var> are omitted they default to 0,0. Therefore,
|
|
|
four parameters suffice for rotation and scaling without translation.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Scaling by the factors <var>s<sub>x</sub></var> and

<var>s<sub>y</sub></var> in the <var>x</var> and <var>y</var> directions,

<p>Using <a href="command-line-options.html#annotate">-annotate</a> <var>degrees</var>
|
|
|
or <a href="command-line-options.html#annotate">-annotate</a> <var>degrees</var>x<var>degrees</var> produces an unsheared rotation of the text. The

direction of the rotation is positive, which means a clockwise rotation if <var>degrees</var> is positive. (This conforms to the usual mathematical

convention once it is realized that the positive <var>y</var>–direction is

conventionally considered to be <var>downward</var> for images.)</p>

<p>The new (transformed) coordinates (<var>x'</var>, <var>y'</var>) of a pixel at position (<var>x</var>, <var>y</var>) in the image are calculated using the following matrix

probably undesirable. Adding a <a href="command-line-options.html#gravity" >-gravity</a> option in this

|
|
|
|
<p>Brightness and Contrast values apply changes to the input image. They are
|
|
|
not absolute settings. A brightness or contrast value of zero means no change.
|
|
|
The range of values is -100 to +100 on each. Positive values increase the
|
|
|
brightness or contrast and negative values decrease the brightness or contrast.
|
|
|
To control only contrast, set the brightness=0. To control only brightness,
|
|
|
set contrast=0 or just leave it off.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>You may also use <a href="command-line-options.html#fill">-channel</a> to control which channels to
|
|
|
apply the brightness and/or contrast change. The default is to apply the same
|
|
|
transformation to all channels.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Brightness and Contrast arguments are converted to offset and slope of a
|
|
|
linear transform and applied
|
|
|
using <a href="command-line-options.html#fill">-function polynomial "slope,offset"</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The slope varies from 0 at contrast=-100 to almost vertical at
|
|
|
contrast=+100. For brightness=0 and contrast=-100, the result are totally
|
|
|
midgray. For brightness=0 and contrast=+100, the result will approach but
|
|
|
not quite reach a threshold at midgray; that is the linear transformation
|
|
|
is a very steep vertical line at mid gray.</p>
|
|

|
|
|
<p>Negative slopes, i.e. negating the image, are not possible with this

function. All achievable slopes are zero or positive.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The offset varies from -0.5 at brightness=-100 to 0 at brightness=0 to +0.5
|
|
|
at brightness=+100. Thus, when contrast=0 and brightness=100, the result is
|
|
|
totally white. Similarly, when contrast=0 and brightness=-100, the result is
|
|
|
totally black.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>As the range of values for the arguments are -100 to +100, adding the '%'

|

<p>The channels above can also be specified as a comma-separated list or can be

abbreviated as a concatenation of the letters '<code>R</code>', '<code>G</code>',
|
|
|
'<code>B</code>', '<code>A</code>', '<code>O</code>', '<code>C</code>',

'<code>M</code>', '<code>Y</code>', '<code>K</code>'.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The numerals 0 to 31 may also be used to specify channels, where 0 to 5 are: <br />
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
'<code>0</code>' equals <code>Red</code> or <code>Cyan</code> <br />
|
|
|
'<code>1</code>' equals <code>Green</code> or <code>Magenta</code> <br />
|
|
|
'<code>2</code>' equals <code>Blue</code> or <code>Yellow</code> <br />
|
|
|
'<code>3</code>' equals <code>Black</code> <br />
|
|
|
'<code>4</code>' equals <code>Alpha</code> or <code>Opacity</code> <br />
|
|
|
'<code>5</code>' equals <code>Index</code></p>
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, to only select the <code>Red</code> and <code>Blue</code> channels
|
|
|
you can use any of the following:</p>
|
|
|
<ul><pre class="highlight">
|
|
|
<code>-channel Red,Blue</code>
|
|
|
<code>-channel R,B</code>
|
|
|
<code>-channel RB</code>
|
|
|
<code>-channel 0,2</code>
|
|
|
</pre></ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>All the channels that are present in an image can be specified using the
|
|
|
special channel type <code>All</code>. Not all operators are 'channel capable',
|
|
|
but generally any operators that are generally 'grey-scale' image operators,
|
|
|
will understand this setting. See individual operator documentation. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>On top of the normal channel selection an extra flag can be specified,
|
|
|
'<code>Sync</code>'. This is turned on by default and if set means that
|
|
|
operators that understand this flag should perform: cross-channel
|
|
|
synchronization of the channels. If not specified, then most grey-scale
|
|
|
operators will apply their image processing operations to each individual
|
|
|
channel (as specified by the rest of the <a href="command-line-options.html#channel">-channel</a>
|
|
|
setting) completely independently from each other. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>For example for operators such as <a href="command-line-options.html#auto-level">-auto-level</a> and
|
|
|
<a href="command-line-options.html#auto-gamma">-auto-gamma</a> the color channels are modified
|
|
|
together in exactly the same way so that colors will remain in-sync. Without
|
|
|
it being set, then each channel is modified separately and
|
|
|
independently, which may produce color distortion. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The <a href="command-line-options.html#morphology">-morphology</a> '<code>Convolve</code>' method
|
|
|
and the <a href="command-line-options.html#compose">-compose</a> mathematical methods, also understands
|
|
|
the '<code>Sync</code>' flag to modify the behavior of pixel colors according
|
|
|
to the alpha channel (if present). That is to say it will modify the image
|
|
|
processing with the understanding that fully-transparent colors should not
|
|
|
contribute to the final result. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Basically, by default, operators work with color channels in synchronous, and
|
|
|
treats transparency as special, unless the <a href="command-line-options.html#channel">-channel</a>
|
|
|
setting is modified so as to remove the effect of the '<code>Sync</code>' flag.
|
|
|
How each operator does this depends on that operators current implementation.
|
|
|
Not all operators understands this flag at this time, but that is changing.
|
|
|

|

<p>To print a complete list of channel types, use <a href="command-line-options.html#list">-list

|
<p>By default, ImageMagick sets <a href="command-line-options.html#channel">-channel</a> to the value
|
|
|
'<code>RGBK,sync</code>', which specifies that operators act on all color
|
|
|
channels except the transparency channel, and that all the color channels are
|
|
|
to be modified in exactly the same way, with an understanding of transparency
|
|

<p>Warning, some operators behave differently when the <a href="command-line-options.html#channel"
|
|
|
>+channel</a> default setting is in effect, versus ANY user defined <a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#channel" >-channel</a> setting (including the equivalent of the
|
|
|
default). These operators have yet to be made to understand the newer 'Sync'
|
|
|
flag. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>For example <a href="command-line-options.html#threshold">-threshold</a> will by default grayscale
|
|
|
the image before thresholding, if no <a href="command-line-options.html#channel" >-channel</a> setting
|
|
|
has been defined. This is not 'Sync flag controlled, yet. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Also some operators such as <a href="command-line-options.html#blur">-blur</a>, <a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#gaussian-blur">-gaussian-blur</a>, will modify their handling of the
|
|
|
color channels if the '<code>alpha</code>' channel is also enabled by <a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#channel" >-channel</a>. Generally this done to ensure that
|
|
|
fully-transparent colors are treated as being fully-transparent, and thus any
|
|
|
underlying 'hidden' color has no effect on the final results. Typically
|
|
|
resulting in 'halo' effects. The newer <a href="command-line-options.html#morphology">-morphology</a>
|
|
|
convolution equivalents however does have a understanding of the 'Sync' flag
|
|
|
and will thus handle transparency correctly by default. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>As an alpha channel is optional within images, some operators will read the
|
|
|
color channels of an image as a greyscale alpha mask, when the image has no
|
|
|
alpha channel present, and the <a href="command-line-options.html#channel" >-channel</a> setting tells
|
|
|
the operator to apply the operation using alpha channels. The <a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#clut">-clut</a> operator is a good example of this. </p>

<p>The expression consists of one or more channels, either mnemonic or numeric (e.g. red or 0, green or 1, etc.), separated by certain operation symbols as follows:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre class="highlight"><code><=> exchange two channels (e.g. red<=>blue)
|
|
|
=> copy one channel to another channel (e.g. red=>green)
|
|
|
= assign a constant value to a channel (e.g. red=50%)
|
|
|
, write new image with channels in the specified order (e.g. red, green)
|
|
|
; add a new output image for the next set of channel operations (e.g. red; green; blue)
|
|
|
| move to the next input image for the source of channel data (e.g. | gray=>alpha)
|
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, to create 3 grayscale images from the red, green, and blue channels of an image, use:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre class="highlight"><code>-channel-fx "red; green; blue"

|
|

<p>A channel without an operation symbol implies separate (i.e, semicolon).</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Here we take an sRGB image and a grayscale image and inject the grayscale image into the alpha channel:</p>
|
|
|
<pre class="highlight"><code>magick wizard.png mask.pgm -channel-fx '| gray=>alpha' wizard-alpha.png

<p> The image is divided into tiles of <var>width</var> and <var>height</var> pixels. Append <code>%</code> to define the width and height as percentages of the image's dimensions. The tile size should be larger than the size of features to be preserved and respects the aspect ratio of the image. Add <code>!</code> to force an exact tile width and height. <var>number-bins</var> is the number of histogram bins per tile (min 2, max 65536). The number of histogram bins should be smaller than the number of pixels in a single tile. <var>clip-limit</var> is the contrast limit for localized changes in contrast. A clip-limit of 2 to 3 is a good starting place (e.g. -clahe 50x50%+128+3). Very large values will let the histogram equalization do whatever it wants to do, that is result in maximal local contrast. The value 1 will result in the original image. Note, if the number of bins and the clip-limit are ommitted, they default to 128 and no clipping respectively.</p>

|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The second (LUT) image is ordinarily a gradient image containing the
|
|
|
histogram mapping of how each channel should be modified. Typically it is a
|
|
|
either a single row or column image of replacement color values. If larger
|
|
|
than a single row or column, values are taken from a diagonal line from
|
|
|
top-left to bottom-right corners.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The lookup is further controlled by the <a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#interpolate">-interpolate</a> setting, which is especially handy for an
|
|
|
LUT which is not the full length needed by the ImageMagick installed Quality

|
(Q) level. Good settings for this are '<code>bilinear</code>' and
|
|
|
'<code>catrom</code>'. Catom can return a useful second-order continuity.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>This operator is especially suited to replacing a grayscale image with a
|
|
|
specific color gradient from the CLUT image. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Only the channel values defined by the <a href="command-line-options.html#channel">-channel</a>
|
|
|
setting will have their values replaced. In particular, since the default <a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#channel">-channel</a> setting is <code>RGB</code>, this means that
|
|
|
transparency (alpha/matte channel) is not affected, unless the <a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#channel">-channel</a> setting is modified. When the alpha channel is
|
|
|
set, it is treated by the <a href="command-line-options.html#clut" >-clut</a> operator in the same way
|
|
|
as the other channels, implying that alpha/matte values are replaced using the
|
|
|
alpha/matte values of the original image. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If either the image being modified, or the lookup image, contains no
|
|
|
transparency (i.e. <a href="command-line-options.html#alpha" >-alpha</a> is turned 'off') but the <a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#channel">-channel</a> setting includes alpha replacement, then it is
|
|
|
assumed that image represents a grayscale gradient which is used for the
|
|
|
replacement alpha values. That is you can use a grayscale CLUT image to
|
|
|
adjust a existing images alpha channel, or you can color a grayscale image
|
|
|
using colors form CLUT containing the desired colors, including transparency.

<p>Note that <code>-contrast-stretch 0</code> will modify the image such that

the image's min and max values are stretched to 0 and <var>QuantumRange</var>, respectively, without any loss of data due to burn-out or

clipping at either end. This is not the same as <a href="command-line-options.html#normalize"

<p>Internally operator works by creating a histogram bin, and then uses that

|
|
|
|
|

<p>All the channels are normalized in concert by the same amount so as to

preserve color integrity, when the default <a href="command-line-options.html#channel" >+channel</a>

<p class="magick-description">Convolve an image with a user-supplied convolution kernel.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The <var>kernel</var> is a matrix specified as
|
|
|
a comma-separated list of integers (with no spaces), ordered left-to right,
|
|
|
starting with the top row. Presently, only odd-dimensioned kernels are
|
|
|
supported, and therefore the number of entries in the specified <var>kernel</var> must be 3<sup>2</sup>=9, 5<sup>2</sup>=25,
|
|
|
7<sup>2</sup>=49, etc. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that the <a class="text-nowrap" href="command-line-options.html#convolve">-convolve</a> operator supports the <a class="text-nowrap" href="command-line-options.html#bias">-bias</a> setting. This option shifts the convolution so that
|
|
|
positive and negative results are relative to a user-specified bias value.
|
|
|
This is important for non-HDRI compilations of ImageMagick when dealing with
|
|
|
convolutions that contain negative as well as positive values. This is
|
|
|
especially the case with convolutions involving high pass filters or edge
|
|
|
detection. Without an output bias, the negative values is clipped at zero.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>When using an ImageMagick with the HDRI compile-time setting, <a class="text-nowrap" href="command-line-options.html#bias">-bias</a> is not needed, as ImageMagick is able to store/handle any
|
|
|
negative results without clipping to the color value range (0..QuantumRange).

|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If the <var>x</var> and <var>y</var> offsets are

present with <code>NorthEast</code>, <code>East</code>, or <code>SouthEast</code>

gravity, it gives the distance leftward from the right edge of the image to

the right edge of the cropping region. Similarly, if the <a

upward between the bottom edges.</p>
|
|
|

<p>If the <var>x</var> and <var>y</var> offsets are

the specified geometry extends beyond the dimensions of the input image.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>You can add the <var>@</var> to the geometry argument to equally divide the image into the number of tiles generated.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>By adding a exclamation character flag to the geometry argument, the
|

cropped images virtual canvas page size and offset is set as if the

relative top left corner of the region cropped. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If the cropped image 'missed' the actual image on its virtual canvas, a

as Postscript, PDF, WMF, and SVG into a raster image. Image resolution
|

<p>The default resolution is 72 dots per inch, which is equivalent to one

normally 72 or 96 dots per inch, while printers typically support 150, 300,

|
<p>If the file format supports it, this option may be used to update the

what part of the 'background' image is seen at each point of the overlaid
|
|
|
area. Much like the displacement map is a 'lens' that redirects light shining
|
|
|
through it so as to present a distorted view the original 'background' image
|
|
|
behind it. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Any perfect grey areas of the displacement map produce a zero
|
|
|
displacement of the image. Black areas produce the given maximum negative
|
|
|
displacement of the lookup point, while white produce a maximum positive
|
|
|
displacement of the lookup. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that it is the lookup of the 'background' that is displaced, not a
|
|
|
displacement of the image itself. As such an area of the displacement map
|
|
|
containing 'white' will have the lookup point 'shifted' by a positive amount,
|
|
|
and thus generating a copy of the destination image to the right/downward from
|
|
|
the correct position. That is the image will look like it may have been
|
|
|
'shifted' in a negative left/upward direction. Understanding this is a very
|
|
|
important in understanding how displacement maps work. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The given arguments define the maximum amount of displacement in pixels
|
|
|
that a particular map can produce. If the displacement scale is large enough
|
|
|
it is also possible to lookup parts of the 'background' image that lie well
|
|
|
outside the bounds of the displacement map itself. That is you could very
|
|
|
easily copy a section of the original image from outside the overlay area
|
|
|
into the overlay area. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The '%' flag makes the displacement scale relative to the size of the
|
|
|
overlay image (100% = half width/height of image). Using '!' switches
|
|
|
percentage arguments to refer to the destination image size instead.
|
|
|
these flags were added as of IM v6.5.3-5.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Normally a single grayscale displacement map is provided, which with the
|
|
|
given scaling values will determine a single direction (vector) in which
|
|
|
displacements can occur (positively or negatively). However, if you also
|
|
|
specify a third image which is normally used as a <var>mask</var>,
|
|
|
the <var>composite image</var> is used for horizontal X
|
|
|
displacement, while the <var>mask image</var> is used for vertical Y
|
|
|
displacement. This allows you to define completely different displacement
|
|
|
values for the X and Y directions, and allowing you to lookup any point within
|
|
|
the <var>scale</var> bounds. In other words each pixel can lookup
|
|
|
any other nearby pixel, producing complex 2 dimensional displacements, rather
|
|
|
than a simple 1 dimensional vector displacements. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Alternatively rather than supplying two separate images, as of IM v6.4.4-0,
|
|
|
you can use the 'red' channel of the overlay image to specify the horizontal
|
|
|
or X displacement, and the 'green' channel for the vertical or Y displacement.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>As of IM v6.5.3-5 any alpha channel in the overlay image is used as a
|
|
|
mask the transparency of the destination image. However areas outside the
|
|
|
overlaid areas will not be affected. </p>

the rotation of the area near the control points. For best results

|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Many of the above distortion methods such as '<code>Affine</code>',
|
|
|
'<code>Perspective</code>', and '<code>Shepards</code>' use a list control points
|
|
|
defining how these points in the given image should be distorted in the
|
|
|
destination image. Each set of four floating point values represent a source
|
|
|
image coordinate, followed immediately by the destination image coordinate.
|
|
|
This produces a list of values such as...</p>
|
|
|
<p class="text-center"><var>
|
|
|
U<sub>1</sub>,V<sub>1</sub> X<sub>1</sub>,Y<sub>1</sub>

...
|
|
|
U<sub>n</sub>,V<sub>n</sub> X<sub>n</sub>,Y<sub>n</sub>
|
|
|
</var></p>
|
|
|
<p>where <var>U,V</var> on the source image is mapped to <var>X,Y</var> on the
|
|
|
destination image. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, to warp an image using '<code>perspective</code>' distortion,
|
|
|
needs a list of at least 4 sets of coordinates, or 16 numbers. Here is the
|
|
|
perspective distortion of the built-in "rose:" image. Note how spaces were
|
|
|
used to group the 4 sets of coordinate pairs, to make it easier to read and
|
|
|
understand.</p>
|

<pre class="highlight"><code>magick rose: -virtual-pixel black \

</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If more that the required number of coordinate pairs are given for
|
|
|
a distortion, the distortion method is 'least squares' fitted to produce the
|
|
|
best result for all the coordinate pairs given. If less than the ideal number
|
|
|
of points are given, the distort will generally fall back to a simpler form of
|
|
|
distortion that can handles the smaller number of coordinates (usually a linear
|
|
|
'<code>Affine</code>' distortion). </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>By using more coordinates you can make use of image registration tool to
|
|
|
find matching coordinate pairs in overlapping images, so as to improve the
|
|
|
'fit' of the distortion. Of course a bad coordinate pair can also make the
|
|
|
'fit' worse. Caution is always advised. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Colors are acquired from the source image according to a cylindrical
|
|
|
resampling <a href="command-line-options.html#filter" >-filter</a>, using a special technique known as
|
|
|
EWA resampling. This produces very high quality results, especially when
|
|
|
images become smaller (minified) in the output, which is very common when
|
|
|
using '<code>perspective</code>' distortion. For example here we view
|
|
|
a infinitely tiled 'plane' all the way to the horizon. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre class="highlight"><code>magick -size 90x90 pattern:checkerboard -normalize -virtual-pixel tile \

|
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that a infinitely tiled perspective images involving the horizon can
|
|
|
be very slow, because of the number of pixels that are compressed to generate
|
|
|
each individual pixel close to the 'horizon'. You can turn off EWA
|
|
|
resampling, by specifying the special <a href="command-line-options.html#filter" >-filter</a> setting of
|
|
|
'<code>point</code>' (recommended if you plan to use super-sampling instead).
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If an image generates <i>invalid pixels</i>, such as the 'sky' in the last
|
|
|
example, <a href="command-line-options.html#distort" >-distort</a> will use the current <a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#mattecolor" >-mattecolor</a> setting for these pixels. If you do not
|
|
|
what these pixels to be visible, set the color to match the rest of the
|
|
|
ground. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The output image size will by default be the same as the input image. This
|
|
|
means that if the part of the distorted image falls outside the viewed area of
|
|
|
the 'distorted space', those parts is clipped and lost. However if you use
|
|
|
the plus form of the operator (<a href="command-line-options.html#distort" >+distort</a>) the operator
|
|
|
will attempt (if possible) to show the whole of the distorted image, while
|
|
|
retaining a correct 'virtual canvas' offset, for image layering. This offset
|
|
|
may need to be removed using <a href="command-line-options.html#repage" >+repage</a>, to remove if it
|
|
|
is unwanted. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Setting <a href="command-line-options.html#verbose" >-verbose</a> setting, will cause <a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#distort" >-distort</a> to attempt to output the internal coefficients,
|
|
|
and the <a href="command-line-options.html#fx" >-fx</a> equivalent to the distortion, for expert study,
|
|
|
and debugging purposes. This many not be available for all distorts. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>You can alternatively specify a special "<code><a href="command-line-options.html#define"
|
|
|
>-define</a> distort:viewport={geometry_string}</code>" setting which will
|
|
|
specify the size and the offset of the generated 'viewport' image of the
|
|
|
distorted image space.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Setting a "<code><a href="command-line-options.html#define" >-define</a>
|
|
|
distort:scale=<var>scale_factor</var></code>" will scale the output image (viewport or
|
|
|
otherwise) by that factor without changing the viewed contents of the
|
|
|
distorted image. This can be used either for 'super-sampling' the image for
|
|
|
a higher quality result, or for panning and zooming around the image (with
|
|
|
appropriate viewport changes, or post-distort cropping and resizing). </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Setting "<code><a href="command-line-options.html#define" >-define</a> resample:verbose=1</code>"
|
|
|
will output the cylindrical filter lookup table created by the EWA (Elliptical
|
|
|
Weighted Average) resampling algorithm. Note this table uses a squared radius
|
|
|
lookup value. This is typically only used for debugging EWA resampling. </p>

<p>A <code>line</code> primitive requires a start point and end point.</p>
|

<p>A <code>rectangle</code> primitive is specified by the pair of points at the

<p>A <code>roundRectangle</code> primitive takes the same corner points as
|
|
|
a <code>rectangle</code> followed by the width and height of the rounded corners
|
|
|
to be removed.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The <code>circle</code> primitive makes a disk (filled) or circle (unfilled).
|
|
|
Give the center and any point on the perimeter (boundary).</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The <code>arc</code> primitive is used to inscribe an elliptical segment in
|
|
|
to a given rectangle. An <code>arc</code> requires the two corners used for
|
|
|
<code>rectangle</code> (see above) followed by the start and end angles of the
|
|
|
arc of the segment (e.g. 130,30 200,100 45,90). The start and end
|
|
|
points produced are then joined with a line segment and the resulting segment
|
|
|
of an ellipse is filled.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Use <code>ellipse</code> to draw a partial (or whole) ellipse. Give the
|
|
|
center point, the horizontal and vertical "radii" (the <var>semi-axes</var> of
|
|
|
the ellipse) and start and end angles in degrees (e.g. 100,100 100,150
|
|
|
0,360).</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The <code>polyline</code> and <code>polygon</code> primitives require three or
|
|
|
more points to define their perimeters. A <code>polyline</code> is simply
|
|
|
a <code>polygon</code> in which the final point is not stroked to the start
|
|
|
point. When unfilled, this is a <var>polygonal line</var>. If the <a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#stroke">-stroke</a> setting is <code>none</code> (the default), then
|
|
|
a <code>polyline</code> is identical to a <code>polygon</code>. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>A <var>coordinate</var> is a pair of integers separated by a space or
|
|
|
optional comma. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>As an example, to define a circle centered at 100,100 that extends to
|
|
|
150,150 use:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre class="highlight"><code>-draw 'circle 100,100 150,150'
|
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The <code>Bezier</code> primitive creates a spline curve and requires three
|
|
|
or points to define its shape. The first and last points are the
|
|
|
<var>knots</var> and these points are attained by the curve, while any
|
|
|
intermediate coordinates are <var>control points</var>. If two control points
|
|
|
are specified, the line between each end knot and its sequentially respective
|
|
|
control point determines the tangent direction of the curve at that end. If
|
|
|
one control point is specified, the lines from the end knots to the one
|
|
|
control point determines the tangent directions of the curve at each end. If
|
|
|
more than two control points are specified, then the additional control points
|
|
|
act in combination to determine the intermediate shape of the curve. In order
|
|
|
to draw complex curves, it is highly recommended either to use the
|
|
|
<code>path</code> primitive or to draw multiple four-point bezier segments with
|
|
|
the start and end knots of each successive segment repeated. For example:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre class="highlight"><code>-draw 'bezier 20,50 45,100 45,0 70,50'
|
|
|
-draw 'bezier 70,50 95,100 95,0 120,50'
|
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>A <code>path</code> represents an outline of an object, defined in terms of
|
|
|
moveto (set a new current point), lineto (draw a straight line), curveto (draw
|
|
|
a Bezier curve), arc (elliptical or circular arc) and closepath (close the
|
|
|
current shape by drawing a line to the last moveto) elements. Compound paths
|
|
|
(i.e., a path with subpaths, each consisting of a single moveto followed by
|
|
|
one or more line or curve operations) are possible to allow effects such as
|
|
|
<var>donut holes</var> in objects. (See <a
|
|
|
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/paths.html">Paths</a>.)</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Use <code>image</code> to composite an image with another image. Follow the
|
|
|
image keyword with the composite operator, image location, image size, and
|
|
|
filename:</p>
|
|
|
|
|

<p>You can use 0,0 for the image size, which means to use the actual
|
|
|
dimensions found in the image header. Otherwise, it is scaled to the given
|
|
|
dimensions. See <a href="../www/compose.html">Alpha Compositing</a> for
|
|
|
a detailed discussion of alpha composition methods that are available. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The "special augmented compose operators" such as "dissolve" that require
|
|
|
arguments cannot be used at present with the <code>-draw image</code> option.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Use <code>text</code> to annotate an image with text. Follow the text
|
|
|
coordinates with a string. If the string has embedded spaces, enclose it in
|
|
|
single or double quotes.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, the following annotates the image with <code>Works like
|
|
|
magick!</code> for an image titled <code>bird.miff</code>. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre class="highlight"><code>-draw "text 100,100 'Works like magick!'"</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>See the <a href="command-line-options.html#annotate">-annotate</a> option for another convenient way
|
|
|
to annotate an image with text.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The <code>rotate</code> primitive rotates subsequent shape primitives and
|
|
|
text primitives about the origin of the main image:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre class="highlight"><code>-draw "rotate 45 text 10,10 'Works like magick!'"</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The <code>translate</code> primitive translates subsequent shape and text
|
|
|
primitives.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The <code>scale</code> primitive scales them.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The <code>skewX</code> and <code>skewY</code> primitives skew them with respect
|
|
|
to the origin of the main image or the region.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The transformations modify the current affine matrix, which is initialized
|
|
|
from the initial affine matrix defined by the <a href="command-line-options.html#affine">-affine</a>
|
|
|
option. Transformations are cumulative within the <a href="command-line-options.html#draw">-draw</a>
|
|
|
option. The initial affine matrix is not affected; that matrix is only changed
|
|
|
by the appearance of another <a href="command-line-options.html#affine">-affine</a> option. If another
|
|
|
<a href="command-line-options.html#draw">-draw</a> option appears, the current affine matrix is
|
|
|
reinitialized from the initial affine matrix.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Use the <code>color</code> primitive to change the color of a pixel to the
|
|
|
fill color (see <a href="command-line-options.html#fill">-fill</a>). Follow the pixel coordinate with
|
|
|
a method:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre class="highlight"><code>point
|
|
|
replace
|
|
|
floodfill
|
|
|
filltoborder
|
|
|
reset
|
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Consider the target pixel as that specified by your coordinate. The
|
|
|
<code>point</code> method recolors the target pixel. The <code>replace</code>
|
|
|
method recolors any pixel that matches the color of the target pixel.
|
|
|
<code>Floodfill</code> recolors any pixel that matches the color of the target
|
|
|
pixel and is a neighbor, whereas <code>filltoborder</code> recolors any neighbor
|
|
|
pixel that is not the border color. Finally, <code>reset</code> recolors all
|
|
|
pixels.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Use <code>matte</code> to the change the pixel matte value to transparent.
|
|
|
Follow the pixel coordinate with a method (see the <code>color</code> primitive
|
|
|
for a description of methods). The <code>point</code> method changes the matte
|
|
|
value of the target pixel. The <code>replace</code> method changes the matte
|
|
|
value of any pixel that matches the color of the target pixel.
|
|
|
<code>Floodfill</code> changes the matte value of any pixel that matches the
|
|
|
color of the target pixel and is a neighbor, whereas <code>filltoborder</code>
|
|
|
changes the matte value of any neighbor pixel that is not the border color (<a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#bordercolor">-bordercolor</a>). Finally <code>reset</code> changes the
|
|
|
matte value of all pixels.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>You can set the primitive color, font, and font bounding box color with <a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#fill">-fill</a>, <a href="command-line-options.html#font">-font</a>, and <a href="command-line-options.html#box">-box</a>
|
|
|
respectively. Options are processed in command line order so be sure to use
|
|
|
these options <var>before</var> the <a href="command-line-options.html#draw">-draw</a> option.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Strings that begin with a number must be quoted (e.g. use '1.png' rather
|
|
|
than 1.png).</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Drawing primitives conform to the <a href="magick-vector-graphics.html" >Magick

<p>Note, drawing requires an alpha channel. If none is available, an all opaque alpha channel is implicitedly created.</p>

<p><code>AddModulus</code> has been added as of ImageMagick 6.4.8-4 and provides
|
|
|
addition modulo the <var>QuantumRange</var>. It is therefore
|
|
|
equivalent to <code>Add</code> unless the resulting pixel value is outside the

|
|
interval [0, <var>QuantumRange</var>]. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><code>Exp or Exponential</code> has been added as of ImageMagick 6.6.5-1 and
|
|
|
works on normalized pixel values. The <var>value</var> used with
|
|
|
<code>Exp</code> should be negative so as to produce a decaying exponential
|
|
|
function. Non-negative values will always produce results larger unity and
|
|
|
thus outside the interval [0, <var>QuantumRange</var>]. The
|
|
|
formula is expressed below. </p>

exp(<var>value</var> × <b><var>u</var></b>)

|
|
<p> If the input image is squared, for example, using <a href="command-line-options.html#-function"
|
|
|
>-function polynomial "2 0 0"</a>, then a decaying Gaussian function will be
|
|
|
the result.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><code>Log</code> has been added as of ImageMagick 6.4.2-1 and works on
|
|
|
normalized pixel values. This a <var>scaled</var> log function. The <var>value</var> used with <code>Log</code> provides a <var>scaling
|
|
|
factor</var> that adjusts the curvature in the graph of the log function. The
|
|
|
formula applied to a normalized value <b><var>u</var></b> is below. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p class="text-center">

</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><code>Pow</code> has been added as of ImageMagick 6.4.1-9, and works on
|
|
|
normalized pixel values. Note that <code>Pow</code> is related to the <a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#gamma" >-gamma</a> operator. For example, <b>-gamma 2</b> is equivalent
|
|
|
to <b>-evaluate pow 0.5</b>, i.e., a 'square root' function. The value used
|
|
|
with <a href="command-line-options.html#gamma" >-gamma</a> is simply the reciprocal of the value used
|
|
|
with <code>Pow</code>.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><code>Cosine</code> and <code>Sine</code> was added as of IM v6.4.8-8 and
|
|
|
converts the image values into a value according to a (co)sine wave function.
|
|
|
The synonyms <code>Cos</code> and <code>Sin</code> may also be used. The output
|
|
|
is biased 50% and normalized by 50% so as to fit in the respective color value
|
|
|
range. The <var>value</var> scaling of the <var>period</var> of the
|
|
|
function (its frequency), and thus determines the number of 'waves' that will
|
|
|
be generated over the input color range. For example, if the <var>value</var> is 1, the effective period is simply the <var>QuantumRange</var>; but if the <var>value</var> is 2,
|
|
|
then the effective period is the <var>half</var> the <var>QuantumRange</var>.</p>

|

|
|
|
|
<p>This option is new as of ImageMagick 6.5.4-3 (and now working for Windows
|
|
|
users in ImageMagick 6.6.0-9). It transforms an image from the normal
|
|
|
(spatial) domain to the frequency domain. In the frequency domain, an image is
|
|
|
represented as a superposition of complex sinusoidal waves of varying
|
|
|
amplitudes. The image x and y coordinates are the possible frequencies along
|
|
|
the x and y directions, respectively, and the pixel intensity values are
|
|
|
complex numbers that correspond to the sinusoidal wave amplitudes. See for
|
|
|
example, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier_transform">Fourier
|
|
|
Transform</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DFT">Discrete Fourier
|
|
|
Transform</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFT">Fast Fourier
|
|
|
Transform</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>A single image name is provided as output for this option. However, the
|
|
|
output result will have two components. It is either a two-frame image or two
|
|
|
separate images, depending upon whether the image format specified supports
|
|
|
multi-frame images. The reason that we get a dual output result is because the
|
|
|
frequency domain represents an image using complex numbers, which cannot be
|
|
|
visualized directly. Therefore, the complex values are automagically separated
|
|
|
into a two-component image representation. The first component is the
|
|
|
magnitude of the complex number and the second is the phase of the complex
|
|
|
number. See for example, <a
|
|
|
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_numbers">Complex Numbers</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The magnitude and phase component images must be specified using image
|
|
|
formats that do not limit the color or compress the image. Thus, MIFF, TIF,
|
|
|
PFM, EXR and PNG are the recommended image formats to use. All of these
|
|
|
formats, except PNG support multi-frame images. So for example,</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre class="highlight"><code>magick image.png -fft fft_image.miff
|
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>generates a magnitude image as <code>fft_image.miff[0]</code> and a phase
|
|
|
image as <code>fft_image.miff[1]</code>. Similarly,</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre class="highlight"><code>magick image.png -fft fft_image.png
|
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>generates a magnitude image as <code>fft_image-0.png</code> and a phase image
|
|
|
as <code>fft_image-1.png</code>. If you prefer this representation, then you can
|
|
|
force any of the other formats to produce two output images by including <a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#adjoin">+adjoin</a> following -fft in the command line.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The input image can be any size, but if not square and even-dimensioned, it
|
|
|
is padded automagically to the larger of the width or height of the input
|
|
|
image and to an even number of pixels. The padding will occur at the bottom
|
|
|
and/or right sides of the input image. The resulting output magnitude and
|
|
|
phase images is square at this size. The kind of padding relies on the <a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#virtual-pixel">-virtual-pixel</a> setting.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Both output components will have dynamic ranges that fit within
|
|
|
[0, <var>QuantumRange</var>], so that HDRI need not be enabled.
|
|
|
Phase values nominally range from 0 to 2*π, but is scaled to span the full
|
|
|
dynamic range. (The first few releases had non-HDRI scaled but HDRI not
|
|
|
scaled). The magnitude image is not scaled and thus generally will contain
|
|
|
very small values. As such, the image normally will appear totally black. In
|
|
|
order to view any detail, the magnitude image typically is enhanced with a log
|
|
|
function into what is usually called the spectrum. A log function is used to
|
|
|
enhance the darker values more in comparison to the lighter values. This can
|
|
|
be done, for example, as follows:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre class="highlight"><code>magick fft_image.miff[0] -contrast-stretch 0 \
|
|
|
-evaluate log 1000 fft_image_spectrum.png"
|
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>where either <a href="command-line-options.html#contrast-stretch">-contrast-stretch</a> 0 or <a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#auto-level">-auto-level</a> is used to scale the image to full dynamic
|
|
|
range, first. The argument to the <a href="command-line-options.html#evaluate">-evaluate</a> log
|
|
|
typically is specified between 100 and 10,000, depending upon the amount of
|
|
|
detail that one wants to bring out in the spectrum. Larger values produce more
|
|
|
visible detail. Too much detail, however, may hide the important features.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The <a href="http://www.fftw.org/">FFTW</a> delegate library is required to
|
|
|
use <a href="command-line-options.html#fft">-fft</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Use <a href="command-line-options.html#fft">+fft</a> to produce two output images that are the real
|
|
|
and imaginary components of the complex valued Fourier transform.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>However, as the real and imaginary components can contain negative values,
|
|
|
this requires that IM be configured with HDRI enabled. In this case, you must
|
|
|
use either MIFF, TIF, PFM or MPC formats for the real and imaginary component
|
|
|
results, since they are formats that preserve both negative and fractional
|
|
|
values without clipping them or truncating the fractional part. With either
|
|
|
MIFF or TIF, one should add <code>-define quantum:format=32</code>, to allow those image
|
|
|
types to work properly in HDRI mode without clipping.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The real and imaginary component images resulting from <a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#fft">+fft</a> are also square, even dimensioned images due to the same
|
|
|
padding that was discussed above for the magnitude and phase component
|
|
|
images.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>See the discussion on HDRI implementations of ImageMagick on the page <a

<p>The same color image displayed on two different workstations may look

|
different due to differences in the display monitor. Use gamma correction to
|
|
|
adjust for this color difference. Reasonable values extend from
|
|
|
<code>0.8</code> to <code>2.3</code>. Gamma less than 1.0 darkens the image and
|
|
|
gamma greater than 1.0 lightens it. Large adjustments to image gamma may
|
|
|
result in the loss of some image information if the pixel quantum size is only
|
|
|
eight bits (quantum range 0 to 255).</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Gamma adjusts the image's channel values pixel-by-pixel according to
|
|
|
a power law, namely, pow(pixel,1/gamma) or pixel^(1/gamma), where pixel is the
|
|
|
normalized or 0 to 1 color value. For example, using a value of gamma=2 is the
|
|
|
same as taking the square root of the image.</p>

<p>The <var >Sigma</var> value is the important argument, and

|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The <var >Radius</var> is only used to determine the size of the

<p>The larger the <var >Radius</var> the radius the slower the

should be at least twice the <var >Sigma</var> value, though three

|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The direction you choose specifies where to position text or subimages. For

the image. By default, the image gravity is <code>undefined</code>. See <a

|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The <a href="command-line-options.html#gravity">-gravity</a> option is also used in concert with the

offset, the offset is usually applied to the point within the image suggested

by the <a href="command-line-options.html#gravity">-gravity</a> argument. Thus, in the following

command, for example, suppose the file <code>image.png</code> has dimensions
|
|
|
200x100. The offset specified by the argument to <a href="command-line-options.html#region">-region</a>
|

is (−40,+20). The argument to <a href="command-line-options.html#gravity">-gravity</a> is
|
|
|
<code>Center</code>, which suggests the midpoint of the image, at the point
|
|
|
(100,50). The offset (−40,20) is applied to that point, giving
|
|
|
(100−40,50+20)=(60,70), so the specified 10x10 region is located at

|
|
that point. (In addition, the <a href="command-line-options.html#gravity">-gravity</a> affects the

<pre class="highlight"><code>magick in.png -grayscale Rec709Luminance out.png

<pre class="highlight">

|
<p>Note that a 'colorspace' intensity method will produce the same result

|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>A Hald color lookup table is a 3-dimensional color cube mapped to 2
|
|
|
dimensions. Create it with the <code>HALD:</code> prefix (e.g. HALD:8). You
|

<p>This option provides a convenient method for you to use Gimp or Photoshop

|
|
to make color corrections to the Hald CLUT image and subsequently apply them
|
|
|
to multiple images using an ImageMagick script. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that the representation is only of the normal RGB color space and that
|
|
|
the whole color value triplet is used for the interpolated lookup of the
|
|
|
represented Hald color cube image. Because of this the operation is not <a

<p>The process accumulates counts for every white pixel in the binary edge image for every possible orientation (for angles from 0 to 179 in 1 deg increments) and distance from the center of the image to the corners (in 1 px increments). It stores the counts in an accumulator matrix of angle vs distance. The size of the accumulator will be 180x(diagonal/2). Next it searches the accumulator for peaks in counts and converts the locations of the peaks to slope and intercept in the normal x,y input image space. The algorithm uses slope/intercepts to find the endpoints clipped to the bounds of the image. The lines are drawn from the given endpoints. The counts are a measure of the length of the lines.</p>.

<p>ImageMagick provides a number of methods used in situations where an
|
|
|
operator needs to determine a single grayscale value for some purpose, from
|
|
|
an image with red, green, and blue pixel components. Typically the
|
|
|
<code>Rec709Luma</code> formula is used, which is the same formula used when converting images to <code>-colorspace gray</code>. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The following formulas are currently provided, and will first convert
|
|
|
the pixel values to linear-RGB or non-linear sRGB colorspace before
|
|
|
being applied to calculate the final greyscale value. </p>

white points range from 0 to <var>QuantumRange</var>, or from 0 to

100%; if the white point is omitted it is set to (<var>QuantumRange</var> - black_point), so as to center contrast changes.
|
|
|
If a <code>%</code> sign is present anywhere in the string, both black and white
|
|
|
points are percentages of the full color range. Gamma will do a <a

|
default of 1.0 (no gamma correction) is assumed.</p>

<p>In normal usage (<code>-level</code>) the image values are stretched so that

|
the given '<code>black_point</code>' value in the original image is set to zero
|
|
|
(or black), while the given '<code>white_point</code>' value is set to <var>QuantumRange</var> (or white). This provides you with direct

is a zero, or <var>QuantumRange</var> value (black, and white, resp.)

|
|
in the original image, is adjusted to the given level values, allowing you to
|
|
|
de-contrast, or compress the channel values within the image. The

|
<p>Requests for pixel storage to keep intermediate images are satisfied by one
|
|
|
of three resource categories: in-memory pool, memory-mapped files pool, and
|
|
|
disk pool (in that order) depending on the <a class="text-nowrap" href="command-line-options.html#limit">-limit</a> settings
|
|
|
and whether the system honors a resource request. If the total size of
|
|
|
allocated pixel storage in the given pool reaches the corresponding limit, the
|
|
|
request is passed to the next pool. Additionally, requests that exceed the
|
|
|
<code>area</code> limit automagically are allocated on disk.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>To illustrate how ImageMagick utilizes resource limits, consider a typical
|
|
|
image resource request. First, ImageMagick tries to allocate the pixels in
|
|
|
memory. The request might be denied if the resource request exceeds the
|
|
|
<code>memory</code> limit or if the system does not honor the request. If
|
|
|
a memory request is not honored, the pixels are allocated to disk and the file
|
|
|
is memory-mapped. However, if the allocation request exceeds the
|
|
|
<code>map</code> limit, the resource allocation goes to disk. In all cases, if
|
|
|
the resource request exceeds the <code>area</code> limit, the pixels are
|
|
|
automagically cached to disk. If the disk has a hard limit, the program
|
|
|
fails.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>In most cases you simply do not need to concern yourself with resource
|
|
|
limits. ImageMagick chooses reasonable defaults and most images do not tax
|
|
|
your computer resources. Where limits do come in handy is when you process
|
|
|
images that are large or on shared systems where ImageMagick can consume all
|
|
|
or most of the available memory. In this case, the ImageMagick workflow slows
|
|
|
other processes or, in extreme cases, brings the system to a halt. Under
|
|
|
these circumstances, setting limits give some assurances that the ImageMagick
|
|
|
workflow will not interfere with other concurrent uses of the computer. For
|
|
|
example, assume you have a web interface that processes images uploaded from
|
|
|
the Internet. To assure ImageMagick does not exceed 10MiB of memory you can
|
|
|
simply set the area limit to 10MiB:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre class="highlight"><code>-limit area 10MB
|
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Now whenever a large image is processed, the pixels are automagically
|
|
|
cached to disk instead of memory. This of course implies that large images
|
|
|
typically process very slowly, simply because pixel processing in memory can
|
|
|
be an order of magnitude faster than on disk. Because your web site users
|
|
|
might inadvertently upload a huge image to process, you should set a disk
|
|
|
limit as well:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre class="highlight"><code>-limit area 10MB -limit disk 500MB
|
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Here ImageMagick stops processing if an image requires more than 500MB of disk storage.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>In addition to command-line resource limit option, resources can be set
|
|
|
with <a href="../www/resources.html#environment" >environment variables</a>. Set the
|
|
|
environment variables <code>MAGICK_AREA_LIMIT</code>,
|
|
|
<code>MAGICK_DISK_LIMIT</code>, <code>MAGICK_FILE_LIMIT</code>,
|
|
|
<code>MAGICK_MEMORY_LIMIT</code>, <code>MAGICK_MAP_LIMIT</code>,
|
|
|
<code>MAGICK_THREAD_LIMIT</code>, <code>MAGICK_TIME_LIMIT</code> for limits of
|
|
|
image area, disk space, open files, heap memory, memory map, number of threads
|
|
|
of execution, and maximum elapsed time in seconds respectively.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> Inquisitive users can try adding <a href="command-line-options.html#debug">-debug cache</a> to
|
|
|
their commands and then scouring the generated output for references to the
|
|
|
pixel cache, in order to determine how the pixel cache was allocated and how
|
|
|
resources were consumed. Advanced Unix/Linux users can pipe that output
|
|

<p>This is very similar to <a href="command-line-options.html#contrast-stretch" >-contrast-stretch</a>,
|
|
|
and uses a 'histogram bin' to determine the range of color values that needs to
|
|
|
be stretched. However it then stretches those colors using the <a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#level" >-level</a> operator.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>As such while the initial determination may have 'binning' round off
|
|
|
effects, the image colors are stretched mathematically, rather than using the
|
|
|
histogram bins. This makes the operator more accurate. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>note however that a <a href="command-line-options.html#linear-stretch" >-linear-stretch</a> of
|
|
|
'<code>0</code>' does nothing, while a value of '<code>1</code>' does a near
|
|

perfect stretch of the color range. </p>

<p>See also <a href="command-line-options.html#auto-level" >-auto-level</a> for a 'perfect'

<p>The mean shift algorithm is iterative and thus slower the larger the window size. For each pixel, it gets all the pixels in the window centered at the pixel and excludes those that are outside the <var>radius=sqrt((width-1)(height-1)/4)</var> surrounding the pixel. From those pixels, it finds which of them are within the specified squared color distance from the current mean. It then computes a new x,y centroid from those coordinates and a new mean. This new x,y centroid is used as the center for a new window. This process is iterated until it converges and the final mean is then used to replace the original pixel value. It repeats this process for the next pixel, etc, until it processes all pixels in the image. Results are better when using other colorspaces rather than RGB. Recommend YIQ, YUV or YCbCr, which seem to give equivalent results.</p>

image. For example, 0 produce a grayscale image, while a large value such as
|
|
|
200 produce a very colorful, 'cartoonish' color.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The <var>hue</var> argument causes a "rotation" of the colors
|
|
|
within the image by the amount specified. For example, 50 results in
|
|
|
a counter-clockwise rotation of 90, mapping red shades to purple, and so on.
|
|
|
A value of either 0 or 200 results in a complete 180 degree rotation of the
|
|
|
image. Using a value of 300 is a 360 degree rotation resulting in no change to
|
|
|
the original image. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, to increase the color brightness by 20% and decrease the color
|
|
|
saturation by 10% and leave the hue unchanged, use <a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#modulate">-modulate 120,90</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Use <a href="command-line-options.html#set">-set</a> attribute of '<code
|
|
|
>option:modulate:colorspace</code>' to specify which colorspace to
|
|
|
modulate. Choose from <code>HCL</code>, <code>HCLp</code>, <code>HSB</code>, <code>HSI</code>, <code>HSL</code> (the default), <code>HSV</code>, <code>HWB</code>, or <code>LCH</code> (LCHuv). For example,</p>

|
|
|
<p>The principal function of noise peak elimination filter is to smooth the

objects within an image without losing edge information and without creating
|
|
|
undesired structures. The central idea of the algorithm is to replace a pixel
|
|
|
with its next neighbor in value within a pixel window, if this pixel has been
|
|
|
found to be noise. A pixel is defined as noise if and only if this pixel is
|
|
|
a maximum or minimum within the pixel window.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Use <code><a href="command-line-options.html#noise">-noise</a> <var>radius</var></code> to
|
|
|
specify the width of the neighborhood when reducing noise. This is equivalent
|
|
|
to using a <code><a href="command-line-options.html#statistic" >-statistic</a> NonPeak</code> operation,
|
|
|
which should be used in preference.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Use <a href="command-line-options.html#noise">+noise</a> followed by a noise <var>type</var> to add noise to an image. Choose from these noise

<p>The amount of noise added can be controlled by the <code><a

equivalent to 1.0, or a maximum noise addition.</p>

<p>This option is also used to place subimages when writing to a multi-image

position a GIF or MNG image, use <a href="command-line-options.html#page">-page</a><var>{+-}x{+-}y</var> (e.g. -page +100+200). When writing to a MNG
|
|
|
file, a <a href="command-line-options.html#page">-page</a> option appearing ahead of the first image in
|
|
|
the sequence with nonzero width and height defines the width and height values

that are written in the <code>MHDR</code> chunk. Otherwise, the MNG width and
|
|
|
height are computed from the bounding box that contains all images in the

determine its dimensions.</p>

|
|
|
<p> The weights should typically be fractions between -1 and 1. But the sum of weights should be 1 or at least between 0 and 1 to avoid clamping in non-hdri mode at black and white.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The exponents may be positive, negative or zero. A negative exponent is equivalent to 1 divided by the image raised to the corresponding positive exponent. A zero exponent always produces 1 scaled by quantumrange to white, i.e. wt*white, no matter what the image.</p>

<p>The format is: <var>output = wt1*image1^exp1 + wt2*image2^exp2 </var>...</p>

<p>Some simple uses are:</p>
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
<li>A weighted sum of each image provided all weights add to unity and all exponents=1. If the weights are all equal to 1/(number of images), then this is equivalent to <a href="command-line-options.html#profile">-evaluate-sequence</a> <var>mean</var>.</li>
|

<li>The sum of squares of two or more images, provided the weights are equal (and sum to 1 to avoid clamping) and the exponents equal 2.</li>

<p>Note that one may add a constant color to the expression simply by using xc:somecolor for one of the images and specifying the desired weight and exponent equal to 0.</p>
|
|
|
|

<p>Similarly one may add white to the expression by simply using null: (or xc:white) for one of the images with the appropriate weight and exponent equal to 0.</p>

<p>Using <a href="command-line-options.html#profile">-profile</a> <var>filename</var> adds an
|
|
|
ICM (ICC color management), IPTC (newswire information), or a generic profile
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Use <a href="command-line-options.html#profile">+profile <var>profile_name</var></a> to
|
|
|
remove the indicated profile. ImageMagick uses standard filename globbing, so
|
|
|
wildcard expressions may be used to remove more than one profile. Here we
|
|
|
remove all profiles from the image except for the XMP profile: <code>+profile
|
|
|
"!xmp,*"</code>. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Use <code>magick identify -verbose</code> to find out which profiles are in the
|
|
|
image file. Use <a href="command-line-options.html#strip">-strip</a> to remove all profiles (and
|
|
|
comments).</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>To extract a profile, the <a href="command-line-options.html#profile">-profile</a> option is not
|
|
|
used. Instead, simply write the file to an image format such as <var>APP1, 8BIM, ICM,</var> or <var>IPTC</var>.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, to extract the Exif data (which is stored in JPEG files in the
|
|
|
<var>APP1</var> profile), use.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Set <code>-define precision:highres-transform=true</code> to increase the transform precision. Note, there is a slight performance penalty as the high-precision transform is floating point rather than unsigned.</p>

|
<pre class="highlight"><code>magick cockatoo.jpg profile.exif

|

|
|
<p>It is important to note that results may depend on whether or not the
|
|
|
original image already has an included profile. Also, keep in mind that <a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#profile">-profile</a> is an "operator" (as opposed to a "setting") and
|
|
|
therefore a conversion is made each time it is encountered, in order, in the
|
|
|
command-line. For instance, in the following example, if the original image is
|
|
|
CMYK with profile, a CMYK-CMYK-RGB conversion results.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre class="highlight"><code>magick CMYK.tif -profile "CMYK.icc" -profile "RGB.icc" RGB.tiff
|
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Furthermore, since ICC profiles are not necessarily symmetric, extra
|
|
|
conversion steps can yield unwanted results. CMYK profiles are often very
|
|
|
asymmetric since they involve 3−>4 and 4−>3 channel mapping.

<h3><a class="anchor" id="quality"></a>-quality <var>value</var></h3>
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p class="magick-description">JPEG/MIFF/PNG compression level.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>For the JPEG and MPEG image formats, quality is 1 (lowest image quality and
|
|
|
highest compression) to 100 (best quality but least effective compression).
|
|
|
The default is to use the estimated quality of your input image if it can
|
|
|
be determined, otherwise 92. When the quality is greater than 90, then the
|
|
|
chroma channels are not downsampled.
|
|
|
Use the <a href="command-line-options.html#sampling-factor">-sampling-factor</a> option to specify the
|
|
|
factors for chroma downsampling.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>For the JPEG-2000 image format, quality is mapped using a non-linear
|
|
|
equation to the compression ratio required by the Jasper library. This
|
|
|
non-linear equation is intended to loosely approximate the quality provided by
|
|
|
the JPEG v1 format. The default quality value 100, a request for non-lossy
|
|
|
compression. A quality of 75 results in a request for 16:1 compression.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>For the MNG and PNG image formats, the quality value sets the zlib
|
|
|
compression level (quality / 10) and filter-type (quality % 10). The default
|
|
|
PNG "quality" is 75, which means compression level 7 with adaptive PNG
|
|
|
filtering, unless the image has a color map, in which case it means
|
|
|
compression level 7 with no PNG filtering.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>For compression level 0 (quality value less than 10), the Huffman-only
|
|
|
strategy is used, which is fastest but not necessarily the worst
|
|
|
compression.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If filter-type is 4 or less, the specified PNG filter-type is used for
|
|
|
all scanlines:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<div class="pre-scrollable highlight">

|
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If filter-type is 5, adaptive filtering is used when quality is greater
|
|
|
than 50 and the image does not have a color map, otherwise no filtering is
|
|
|
used.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If filter-type is 6, adaptive filtering
|
|
|
with <var>minimum-sum-of-absolute-values</var> is used.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Only if the output is MNG, if filter-type is 7, the LOCO color
|
|
|
transformation (intrapixel differencing) and adaptive filtering
|
|
|
with <var>minimum-sum-of-absolute-values</var> are used.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If the filter-type is 8 the zlib Z_RLE compression strategy (or the
|
|
|
Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY strategy, when compression level is 0) is used with
|
|
|
adaptive PNG filtering.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If the filter-type is 9 the zlib Z_RLE compression strategy (or the
|
|
|
Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY strategy, when compression level is 0) is used with
|
|
|
no PNG filtering.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The quality setting has no effect on the appearance or signature of PNG
|
|
|
and MNG images, since the compression is always lossless.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Not all combinations of compression level, strategy, and PNG filter type
|
|
|
can be obtained using the -quality option. For more precise control,
|
|
|
you can use the PNG:compression-level=N, PNG:compression-strategy=N, and
|
|
|
PNG:compression-filter=N defines, respectively, instead.
|
|
|
See <a href="command-line-options.html#define">-define</a>. Values from the defines take precedence
|
|
|
over values from the -quality option.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>For further information, see
|
|
|
the <a href="http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/TR">PNG</a> specification.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>For the MIFF and TIFF image formats, quality/10 is the <a href="command-line-options.html#compress">Zip/BZip</a> compression level, which is 0 (worst but fastest compression) to 9 (best but slowest). It has no effect on the image appearance, since the compression is always lossless.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>For the BPG image format, quality/2 is the actual BPG compression level (range from 0 to 51).</p>

<p>As a side effect of applying a <a href="command-line-options.html#remap">-remap</a> of colors across all
|
|
|
images in the current image sequence, all the images will have the same color
|
|
|
table. That means that when saved to a file format such as GIF, it will use
|
|
|
that color table as a single common or global color table, for all the images,
|
|
|
without requiring extra local color tables. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Use <a href="command-line-options.html#remap">+remap</a> to reduce all images in the current image
|
|
|
sequence to use a common color map over all the images. This equivalent to
|
|
|
appending all the images together (without extra background colors) and color
|
|
|
reducing those images using <a href="command-line-options.html#colors">-colors</a> with a 256 color
|
|
|
limit, then <a href="command-line-options.html#remap">-remap</a> those colors over the original list of
|
|
|
images. This ensures all the images follow a single color map. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If the number of colors over all the images is less than 256, then <a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#remap">+remap</a> should not perform any color reduction or dithering, as
|
|
|
no color changes are needed. In that case, its only effect is to force the use
|
|
|
of a global color table. This recommended after using either <a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#colors">-colors</a> or <a href="command-line-options.html#ordered-dither">-ordered-dither</a> to
|
|
|
reduce the number of colors in an animated image sequence. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Note, the remap image colormap has at most 8-bits of precision. Deeper color maps are automagically coalesced with other colors to meet this requirement.</p>

|
|
Escapes</a> expanded) to images as they are read in. For example:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre class="highlight"><code>-> convert rose: -set comment 'Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose' rose.jpg
|
|
|
identify -format %c rose.jpg
|
|
|
Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose
|
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The set value can also make use of <a href="../www/escape.html" >Format and Print Image
|
|
|
Properties</a> in the defined value. For example:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre class="highlight"><code>-> convert rose: -set origsize '%wx%h' -resize 50% \
|
|
|
-format 'Old size = %[origsize] New size = %wx%h' info:
|
|
|
Old size = 70x46 New size = 35x23
|
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Other well known 'properties' that are available include:
|
|
|
'<code>date:create</code>' and '<code>date:modify</code>' and
|
|
|
'<code>signature</code>'. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The <a href="command-line-options.html#repage">-repage</a> operator will also allow you to modify
|
|
|
the '<code>page</code>' attribute of an image for images already in memory (also
|
|
|
see <a href="command-line-options.html#repage">-page</a>). However it is designed to provide a finer
|
|
|
control of the sub-parts of this 'attribute'. The <a href="command-line-options.html#set">-set page</a>
|
|
|
option will only provide a direct, unmodified assignment of '<code>page</code>'
|
|
|
attribute. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>This option can also associate a colorspace or profile with your image.
|
|
|
For example,</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre class="highlight"><code>magick image.psd -set profile ISOcoated_v2_eci.icc image-icc.psd
|
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Some 'properties' must be defined in a specific way to be used. For
|
|
|
example only 'properties' prefixed with "<code>filename:</code>" can be used to
|
|
|
modify the output filename of an image. For example</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre class="highlight"><code>magick rose: -set filename:mysize '%wx%h' 'rose_%[filename:mysize].png'
|
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If the setting value is prefixed with "<code>option:</code>" the setting will
|
|
|
be saved as a global "Artifact" exactly as if it was set using the <a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#define" >-define</a> option. As such settings are global in scope, they
|
|
|
can be used to pass 'attributes' and 'properties' of one specific image,
|
|
|
in a way that allows you to use them in a completely different image, even if
|
|
|
the original image has long since been modified or destroyed. For example: </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre class="highlight"><code>magick rose: -set option:rosesize '%wx%h' -delete 0 \
|
|
|
label:'%[rosesize]' label_size_of_rose.gif"
|
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that <a href="../www/escape.html" >Format Percent Escapes</a> will only match
|
|
|
a 'artifact' if the given <var>key</var> does not match an existing
|
|
|
'attribute' or 'property'. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>You can set the attributes of the image registry by prefixing the value
|
|
|
with <code>registry:</code>.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The <a href="command-line-options.html#set">-set profile</a> option can also be used to inject
|
|
|
previously-formatted ancillary chunks into the output PNG file, using
|
|
|
the commandline option as shown below or by setting the profile via a
|
|
|
programming interface:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre class="highlight"><code>magick in.png -set profile PNG-chunk-x:<filename> out.png
|
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>where <var>x</var> is a location flag and
|
|
|
<var>filename</var> is a file containing the chunk
|
|
|
name in the first 4 bytes, then a colon (":"), followed by the chunk data.
|
|
|
This encoder will compute the chunk length and CRC, so those must not
|
|
|
be included in the file.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>"x" can be "b" (before PLTE), "m" (middle, i.e., between PLTE and IDAT),
|
|
|
or "e" (end, i.e., after IDAT). If you want to write multiple chunks
|
|
|
of the same type, then add a short unique string after the "x" to prevent
|
|
|
subsequent profiles from overwriting the preceding ones, e.g.,</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre class="highlight"><code>magick in.png -set profile PNG-chunk-b01:file01 \

<p>The shear angles may be positive, negative, or zero. When <var>Ydegrees</var> is omitted it defaults to <var>Xdegrees</var>. When both angles are

given, the horizontal component of the shear is performed before the vertical
|
|
|
component.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Shearing slides one edge of an image along the x-axis or y-axis (i.e.,
|
|
|
horizontally or vertically, respectively),creating a parallelogram. The amount
|
|
|
of each is controlled by the respective shear angle. For horizontal shears,
|
|
|
<var>Xdegrees</var> is measured clockwise relative to "up" (the
|
|
|
negative y-axis), sliding the top edge to the right when 0°<<var>Xdegrees</var><90° and to the left when 90°<<var>Xdegrees</var><180°. For vertical shears <var>Ydegrees</var> is measured clockwise relative to "right" (the

positive x-axis), sliding the right edge down when 0°<<var>Ydegrees</var><90° and up when 90°<<var>Ydegrees</var><180°.</p>

<p>Empty triangles left over from shearing the image are filled with the color

using the format described under the <a href="command-line-options.html#fill">-fill</a> option.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The horizontal shear is performed before the vertical part. This is
|
|
|
important to note, since horizontal and vertical shears do not
|
|
|
<var>commute</var>, i.e., the order matters in a sequence of shears. For

example, the following two commands are not equivalent.</p>

<p>The first of the two commands above is equivalent to the following, except

a smaller image, and so is a better choice in terms of time and space.</p>

<p>Increase the contrast of the image using a sigmoidal transfer function

</p>

<p>The <var>mid-point</var> indicates where the maximum change

middle-gray; 100% is black). </p>
|

<p>By default the image contrast is increased, use <var>+sigmoidal-contrast</var> to decrease the contrast.</p>
|
|

|
|
<p>To achieve the equivalent of a sigmoidal brightness change (similar to

a gamma adjustment), you would use <var>-sigmoidal-contrast

{brightness}x0%</var> to increase brightness and <var>+sigmoidal-contrast {brightness}x0%</var> to decrease brightness.

Note the use of '0' fo rthe mid-point of the sigmoidal curve. </p>

|
<p class="magick-description">Make this color transparent within the image.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The <var>color</var> argument is defined using the format
|
|
|
described under the <a href="command-line-options.html#fill">-fill</a> option. The <a href="command-line-options.html#fuzz"
|
|
|
>-fuzz</a> setting can be used to match and replace colors similar to the one
|
|
|
given. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Use <a href="command-line-options.html#transparent" >+transparent</a> to invert the pixels matched.
|
|
|
that is make all non-matching colors transparent. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The <a href="command-line-options.html#opaque">-opaque</a> operator is exactly the same as <a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#transparent" >-transparent</a> but replaces the matching color with the
|
|
|
current <a href="command-line-options.html#fill">-fill</a> color setting, rather than transparent.
|
|
|
However the <a href="command-line-options.html#transparent" >-transparent</a> operator also ensures
|
|
|
that the image has an alpha channel enabled, as per "<code><a href="command-line-options.html#alpha"
|
|
|
>-alpha</a> set</code>", and does not require you to modify the <a
|
|
|
href="command-line-options.html#channel">-channel</a> to enable alpha channel handling. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that this does not define the color as being the 'transparency color'
|
|
|
used for color-mapped image formats, such as GIF. For that use <a
|
|

<p class="magick-description">Set the transparent color.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Sometimes this is used for saving to image formats such as
|
|
|
GIF and PNG8 which uses this color to represent boolean transparency. This
|
|
|
does not make a color transparent, it only defines what color the transparent

color is in the color palette of the saved image. Use <a
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>This option allows you to have both an opaque visible color, as well as a
|
|
|
transparent color of the same color value without conflict. That is, you can
|
|
|
use the same color for both the transparent and opaque color areas within an
|
|
|
image. This, in turn, frees to you to select a transparent color that is
|
|
|
appropriate when an image is displayed by an application that does not handle a
|
|
|
transparent color index, while allowing ImageMagick to correctly handle images of this
|
|
|
type. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The default transparent color is <code>#00000000</code>, which is fully transparent black.</p>
