Hi,

I could build a proper Image instance from an image file. I tryed the display() method of the class which resulted in throwing an exception from Magick::ErrorXServer... I'm using VC++ 2005 under Windows XP, my program is a simple win32 application. Can I get the display() method to work or is it simply not possible with this environment ?

Many thanks.

The display() method requires an X11 server. X11 is available under Windows but not generally not installled on most Windows platform. Instead you can use the IMDisplay program which displays an image natively under Windows.
