Hi,

I would like to have finer control on applying levels on an image using the magick C++ api..
I would like to give a bezier curve as an input to specify how the level
has to be applied...
I know I could do it with the magick++ fx function but am not sure as to how to go about it...
Could some one help me...

Regards
Praveen

I don't know anything about C++, but I have programmed a bash script to do something like that using splines and -clut. see my script, curves

If the curver can be described as a list of numbers, then that can be converted into a culumitive histogram, and appied using the same histogram re-directibution technique used for Gaussian Histogram re-distribution.

Yes we are working toward having this built into ImageMagick!

I think he wants to have only a few point that are spline interpolated to fill out the lut for clut

Oh you mean like curve fitting...

Apologies

Hi,
Thanks to all,

Yes,I would like to do curve fitting...
I looked at that example but that requires me to pass a mathematical formula to magick which means I need to use some external library...
Is that the only way I can achieve this effect....

probably unless your points are equally spaced. then you can use -filter to interpolate them

convert -list filter

see my rainbow example at http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/ ... hp#rainbow where I took a handful of point colors and interpolated them using a cubic filter to fill it out to 600 pixels wide.

This does not work if you have unevenly spaced points.
