OK, everyone, I've got that GUI available now as a beta. I call it MagickWrapper. MacOS only. Details at http://basepath.com. Free for anyone who registers during the beta period.

Thanks, Fred. But the issue is that someone new would go to the options page to see what "matte" did, and wouldn't find it in the alphabetical listing. (Actually, the REAL issue is that I'm writing a GUI wrapper for IM and I constructed the various lists of settings, commands, and images from the ...

At the very top of one of the first pages (http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-options.php) is this example: $ convert label.gif +matte \ \( +clone -shade 110x90 -normalize -negate +clone -compose Plus -composite \) \ \( -clone 0 -shade 110x50 -normalize -channel BG -fx 0 +channel -matte ...

I understand. But I was building IM from source. So the sequence was: 1. Install FreeType. 2. configure IM 3. make IM 4. install IM However, my problems are in step #2. The output of configure (and the log) shows me that it did not include FreeType. And, making, installing, and running confirms that ...

FreeType is definitely NOT on the list of delegates. That's exactly the problem! I'm trying to build IM 6.8.2. I did install FreeType using MacPorts. When that didn't work, I built it from source. Neither approach got IM's configure to think it was there. Maybe there are some additional configure ...

No combination of options to configure seems to work. I've installed FreeType as a binary, and also built it from source. No matter what I've tried, and I've tried many different combinations of options, configure always reports this: FreeType --with-freetype=yes no Has anyone actually succeeded in ...
