A silly question of how to use imageMagick

Post by mstrpeak »

i know there are two ways to use imageMagick, command line and program interface, i have been searching over internet, and find out almost 99% of the examples are using command line, few mentioned or used program interface, making it hard for green hand like to get hands wet with IM, i am trying to use IM on some iphone projects, could someone guide me how to get started?


Big thanks!

The reason is that is is much easier to use the command line interface, and other API's tend to be a little more behind in there implementation of features.

But their are example web sites, and anything that can be done on the CLI can be done with the API.

name it and I can typically give you some pointer. (from my personal Hotlist)

Note the ALI is actually interfaced to the MagickCore which is the lowest level API. CLI and MagickWand are actually closely linked, and will have an even closer linkage after my current CLI re-development for IMv7.
