Code: Select all

what is "rose:" ? it is the rose image presumably but why indicated as "rose:" is that something defined earlier ?

An image name ending with a colon ":" is a built-in facility of ImageMagick, rather than a file that contains an image.

"rose:" is an image that is built-in to ImageMagick. Instead of using a filename, "rose:" simply provides a standard test image. Other built-in images include "wizard:" and "logo:".
