  <meta name="Description" content="ImageMagick® is a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images. It can read, convert and write images in a variety of formats (about 100) including GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, TIFF, and DPX. Use ImageMagick to translate, flip, mirror, rotate, scale, shear and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves.  ImageMagick is free software delivered as a ready-to-run binary distribution or as source code that you can freely use, copy, modify, and distribute. Its license is compatible with the GPL. It runs on all major operating systems.  The functionality of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command line or you can use the features from programs written in your favorite programming language. Choose from these interfaces: MagickCore (C), MagickWand (C), ChMagick (Ch), Magick++ (C++), JMagick (Java), L-Magick (Lisp), PascalMagick (Pascal), PerlMagick (Perl), MagickWand for PHP (PHP), PythonMagick (Python), RMagick (Ruby), or TclMagick (Tcl/TK). With a language interface, use ImageMagick to modify or create images automagically and dynamically."/>

<p>The <a href="../www/api/MagickCore/index.html">MagickCore API</a> is a low-level interface between the C programming language and the ImageMagick image processing libraries and is recommended for wizard-level programmers only.  Unlike the <a href="../www/magick-wand.html">MagickWand</a> C API which uses only a few opaque types and accessors, with MagickCore you almost exlusively access the structure members directly.  A description of the MagickCore public methods are found here:</p>

<p>After you write your MagickCore program, compile it like this:</p>

<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>cc `MagickCore-config --cflags --cppflags` core.c  \ <br/> `MagickCore-config --ldflags --libs`</span></p>
<p>Here is a example program that utilizes the MagickCore API to get you started, <a href="../www/source/core.c">core.c</a>. It reads a GIF image, creates a thumbnail, and writes it to disk in the PNG image format.</p>
