<h2><a href="../../api/MagickCore/property_8c.html" id="InterpretImageProperties">InterpretImageProperties</a></h2>
<p>InterpretImageProperties() replaces any embedded formatting characters with the appropriate image property and returns the interpreted text.</p>
<p>This searches for and replaces \n \r \ replaced by newline, return, and percent resp. &lt; &gt; &amp; replaced by '<', '>', '&' resp. replaced by percent</p>
<p>x [x] where 'x' is a single letter properity, case sensitive). [type:name] where 'type' a is special and known prefix. [name] where 'name' is a specifically known attribute, calculated value, or a per-image property string name, or a per-image 'artifact' (as generated from a global option). It may contain ':' as long as the prefix is not special.</p>
<p>Single letter substitutions will only happen if the character before the percent is NOT a number. But braced substitutions will always be performed. This prevents the typical usage of percent in a interpreted geometry argument from being substituted when the percent is a geometry flag.</p>
<p>If 'glob-expresions' ('*' or '?' characters) is used for 'name' it may be used as a search pattern to print multiple lines of "name=value\n" pairs of the associacted set of properties.</p>
<p>The returned string must be freed using DestoryString() by the caller.</p>

<h2><a href="../../api/MagickCore/property_8c.html" id="RemoveImageProperty">RemoveImageProperty</a></h2>
<p>RemoveImageProperty() removes a property from the image and returns its value.</p>
