The MagickWand API is the recommended interface between the C programming language and the ImageMagick image processing libraries. Unlike the MagickCore C API, MagickWand uses only a few opaque types. Accessors are available to set or get important wand attributes. A description of the MagickWand public methods are found here:
After you write your MagickWand program, compile it like this:
cc `Wand-config --cflags --cppflags` wand.c `Wand-config --ldflags --libs`
Here is a example program that utilizes the MagickWand API to get you started, wand.c. It reads a GIF image, creates a thumbnail, and writes it to disk in the PNG image format.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <wand/MagickWand.h>
int main(int argc,char **argv)
{
#define ThrowWandException(wand) \
{ \
char \
*description; \
\
ExceptionType \
severity; \
\
description=MagickGetException(wand,&severity); \
(void) fprintf(stderr,"%s %s %ld %s\n",GetMagickModule(),description); \
description=(char *) MagickRelinquishMemory(description); \
exit(-1); \
}
MagickBooleanType
status;
MagickWand
*magick_wand;
/*
Read an image.
*/
MagickWandGenesis();
magick_wand=NewMagickWand();
status=MagickReadImage(magick_wand,"image.gif");
if (status == MagickFalse)
ThrowWandException(magick_wand);
/*
Turn the images into a thumbnail sequence.
*/
MagickResetIterator(magick_wand);
while (MagickNextImage(magick_wand) != MagickFalse)
MagickResizeImage(magick_wand,106,80,LanczosFilter,1.0);
/*
Write the image as MIFF and destroy it.
*/
status=MagickWriteImages(magick_wand,"image.png",MagickTrue);
if (status == MagickFalse)
ThrowWandException(magick_wand);
magick_wand=DestroyMagickWand(magick_wand);
MagickWandTerminus();
return(0);
}
