Newbie questions

I have been working MagickCore because I generally like to get closest to an API that I can. But the lack of samples is daunting. Does MagickWand expose everything in ImageMagick? Is there a source for samples for MagickCore?

Thanks,

Paul

Probably the best sourec of using MagickCore examples is
the individual operator definations in the Commandline API.


For example look at the source file "wand/mogrify.c"
and search for "case OptimizeLayer:" about line 8304

this performs multiple performs multiple individual operations to try an optimize the size of a GIF animation sequence. The results of each call is checked as it goes though the requires steps.

I am sure however there are better examples somewhere, but this is what I have dealt with! in MagickCore stuff.

I think MagickWand exposes essentially everything available in MagickCore. If it doesn't, posting a message here will usually prompt "magick" to add whatever is missing in the next point release.
MagickWand is easier to use than MagickCore. I have a webpage with some examples of MagickWand - see my signature.
