The MagickWand interface is a new high-level C API interface to ImageMagick core methods. We discourage the use of the core methods and encourage the use of this API instead. Post MagickWand questions, bug reports, and suggestions to this forum.
ImageMagick has a couple of Windows demos typically in c:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.2.6-Q16\Magick++_Demos. Build the button example from the Visual C++ IDE. It has an option to generate a command line make file. Use the settings from the make file to compile wand.c.
