✨ Graphics::Magick 💖 (that's the Magick(3pm) page, bestie)

okay so picture this: you wanna read, mess with, and write a ton of image file formats, and you wanna do it from Perl. that's literally the whole plot. this page is the manual for Graphics::Magick, a Perl extension that lets you call into GraphicsMagick's libGraphicsMagick routines. iconic behavior only. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

  use Graphics::Magick;
  p = new Graphics::Magick;
  p->Read("imagefile");
  p->Set(attribute => value, ...)
  ($a, ...) = p->Get("attribute", ...)
  p->routine(parameter => value, ...)
  p->Mogrify("Routine", parameter => value, ...)
  p->Write("filename");

like… that's the whole vibe. read it, poke at it, write it back out. 🌈

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

This Perl extension lets you read, manipulate, and write a large number of image file formats by way of the GraphicsMagick library. no cap. 🦋

ngl, it was originally built so that CGI scripts could use it for Web pages. yes bestie, CGI. it's giving vintage. it's giving history. we respect it. 👑

A Web page got set up for this extension, so if you wanna go look:

  http://www.GraphicsMagick.org/www/perl.html

go, run, don't walk. 🏃‍♀️✨
