Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hello,
I'm new to developing with IM and till now I've been testing and modeling bits of functionality with command-line scripts. My next step is to create a real program that ties these different bits together into a framework. My question: is the MagickWand Api the best Api for this? If I am very familiar with the command-line interface, will I find the same functionality in the MagickWand Api? For example, is the Api updated as new features are added to IM? I started to play around with Imagick for php, but I'm not sure that all the command-line equivalents are in there, and the documentation is lacking...
Thanks,
K

Are you talking about the MagickWand C API or the MagickWand for PHP API? We maintain both. The MagickWand C API is more comprehensive than the MagickWand for PHP API. However, since the ImageMagick maintainers support both if something is missing from the API we typically will fix the deficiency within a day or two after its brought to our attention.

Thanks! Your answer is perfect... I guess I wasn't aware of the php version of magickwand, but now that I know that it exists I'm will probably be interested in working with both APIs.
Many Thanks,
K
