🦋 Magick(3) — Image::Magick, bestie 🦋

okay so this is the user-contributed Perl documentation for Magick(3) — the manual name is folded in right here like a lil’ name tag 🫶. It’s giving “Perl bestie explains ImageMagick,” and we’re obsessed.

✨ NAME ✨

Image::Magick — an objected-oriented Perl interface to ImageMagick for the default quantum (Q16HDRI). Use it to read, manipulate, or write an image or image sequence from within a Perl script. periodt 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

This Perl extension lets you read, manipulate, and write a large number of image file formats using the ImageMagick library. It was originally developed to be used by CGI scripts for Web pages — iconic origin story, no cap 💖.

A web page has been set up for this extension. See:
