Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

I have searched all throughout the forums and cannot seem to find an answer to this question. I have installed ImageMagick version 6.9.6-6-Q16-x86-dll and am trying to run the demo project "button" in Visual Studio 2013. At first glance I noticed that the line button.display(); was commented out (why?). I un-commented it and the code runs correctly as it exits with code 0. However, the image of the button is never displayed. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I believe "button.display()" outputs to an X-terminal. From your mention of a dll, you seem to be running Windows, so probably don't have X.

Yes, I am running Windows. Would you happen to know then how I can properly get the button to display?

Does the program write to an image file? If so, type the filename at the console. Or write to "win:" or "show:".

I have the program write to an image file using the following code in c++:

image.write("finalimage.jpg");
image.display();

I don't understand why the line image.display() does not function. Nothing ever pops up and I have to manually go to my folder and double click the file to open the image. I have tried different extensions like .miff, .png, and .jpeg but none work. I want the program to automatically display the image when I run the compiler.

I told you why.
