Hi,

I'm starting to develop in C++ using Magick++, but frequently run across methods that are not implemented in Magick++ as well as in the C interface. Is there any way to convert 'on the go' from the ‘Magick::Image’ to ‘MagickLib::MagickWand’ and vice versa?

I know, that I could just write program using the C api, but Magick++ is very handy with the STL support and I would hate to lose that. I will be very grateful for a hint how to get past this problem.

You can access any C interface simply by prefixing the method name with MagickLib:: (e.g. MagickLib::ResizeImage()).

I am aware of that. I was just wandering is there a way to use Magick++ methods on a MagickWand or MagickWand functions on a Magick::Image (o simple conversion on the fly, direct casts do not work).

But I got past this problem by rewriting the code to C, a little troublesome, but got a chance to see if I still remember how to use some very basic stuff

Even so, if you may, please answer the question, it may be useful for the future.

PS. ImageMagick is truly great
