<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."/>

<h2><a name="intro"></a>Introduction to Vector Graphics</h2>
<div class="doc-section">
<p>This specification defines the features and syntax for Magick Vector Graphics (MVG), a modularized language for describing two-dimensional vector and mixed vector/raster graphics in ImageMagick. You can use the language to draw from the
command line, from an MVG file, from an <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/" >SVG -- Scalable Vector Graphics</a> file or from one of the ImageMagick <a href="../www/api.html">program interfaces</a>. Use this command, for example, to render an arc:</p>
<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert -size 100x60 xc:skyblue -fill white -stroke black \ <br/>
-draw "path 'M 30,40 A 30,20 20 0,0 70,20 A 30,20 20 1,0 30,40 Z '" \ <br/>
arc.png</span></p>
<p>and here is the result:</p>
<p class="image">
<a href="../images/arc.png"><img src="../images/arc.png" width="100" height="60" alt="arc" /></a>
</p>
<p>When the drawing gets sufficiently complex, we recommend you assemble the graphic primitives into a MVG file. For our example, we use <a href="../www/source/piechart.mvg">piechart.mvg</a>:</p>

<p>to render a pie chart with this command:</p>
<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert piechart.mvg piechart.png</span></p>
<p>which produces this rendering:</p>
<p class="image">
<a href="../images/piechart.png"><img src="../images/piechart.png" width="624" height="369" alt="piechart" /></a>
</p>
<p>However, in general, MVG is sufficiently difficult to work with that you probably want to use a program to generate your graphics in the SVG format. ImageMagick automagically converts SVG to MVG and renders your image, for example, we render <a href="../www/source/piechart.svg">piechart.svg</a> with this command:</p>
<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert piechart.svg piechart.jpg</span></p>
<p>to produce the same pie chart we created with the MVG language.</p>
<p>Drawing is available from many of the ImageMagick <a href="../www/api.html">program interfaces</a> as well. ImageMagick converts the drawing API calls to MVG and renders it. Here is example code written in the <a href="../www/magick-wand.html">MagickWand</a> language: </p>
<div class="viewport">

<h2><a name="overview"></a>MVG Overview</h2>
<div class="doc-section">
<p>MVG ignores all white-space between commands. This allows multiple MVG commands per line. It is common convention to terminate each MVG command with a new line to make MVG easier to edit and read. This syntax description uses indentation in MVG sequences to aid with understanding. Indentation is supported but is not required.</p>

<dd>
<p><kbd>Bezier</kbd> (spline) requires three or more x,y coordinates to define its shape. The first and last points are the knots (preserved coordinates) and any intermediate coordinates are the control points. 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 <kbd>Path</kbd> primitive or to draw multiple four-point bezier segments with the start and end knots of each successive segment repeated.</p>
