[gentoo-user] ImageMagick

[gentoo-user] ImageMagick

[Colleen Beamer]

Hi all,

I used to use ImageMagick to quickly resize images and convert from one
format to another (jpg to png, for example).  ImageMagick is installed
on my system (installed as requirement of something else), but I'm
darned if I can find an executable to run the program.  There used to be
one in /usr/bin on my old system.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Regards,

Colleen

This isn't quite what I wanted - you have to add options to the
command.  I was hoping to get the graphical interface that I had
before.  Please don't tell me they took a great little program and
screwed it up!  :-)

ImageMagick has no gui-frontend and it never had. It's a library for image 
manipulation and a collection of CLI-programs for the same task.
I have no idea what you used before, but it wasn't part of ImageMagick.

Oh, yes, it was!  :-)  There used to be a command in /usr/bin named
imagemagick and if you launched it, it brought up an interface with
menus/buttons that you could click on.  Granted, I haven't used it in
quite a while.  However, I used to use it all the time to scale graphics
when I was writing the handbook for krecipes and convert images from
jpeg to png.

Colleen

I searched for that command, I can't find it or any reference to it 
having any GUI at all.  According to the wiki:

"The software mainly consists of a number of command-line interface 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface> utilities for 
manipulating images. ImageMagick does *not* have a GUI 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface>-based interface 
to edit images, as do Adobe Photoshop 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Photoshop> and GIMP 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIMP>, but instead modifies existing 
images as directed by various command-line parameters. "

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ImageMagick

I also can't find anything on their website about a GUI either.  There 
are front ends to it tho.  This from the imagemagick website:

"The functionality of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command 
line or you can use the features from programs written in your favorite 
language. Choose from these interfaces: G2F 
<http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php#ada> (Ada), MagickCore

<http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php#tcl> (Tcl/TK). With a 
language interface, use ImageMagick to modify or create images 
dynamically and /automagically/."

I'm not sure if any of those are GUI tho.

Maybe whatever distro you were using sort of played a name game with the 
command?  The command was named imagemagick but was actually pointing to 
something else that had a GUI and was a front end for it.

Krecipe huh?  Installing it now.  I like to cook and eat.  lol

A GUI interface specifically for imagemagick is news to me;
imagemagick has always been a cli program. I don't see any reference
to a GUI among its USE flags, either. Perhaps you were using some
other program which acted as a front-end? Have you done a --depclean
which may have removed that?

Incidentally, if you want to retain a package, you really should
select it for your @world set; otherwise, a depclean could pull it out
from under you.

Haven't done a depclean.  This is a reasonable new computer.  Haven't
used ImageMagick in quite a while (way before I got this new computer)
and granted, it wasn't a gui that automatically got added to your kmenu,
but I created an icon for and for the command, I used
/usr/bin/imagemagick.  I recall at one point that if I used the command
imagemagick, it would launch some other interface (can't remember which
one) and I had to create a symlink named magick which linked to
/usr/bin/imagemagick.  I have tons of graphics that I resized and
converted to png from jpegs, but unfortunately, the don't say that I
used imagemagick to alter them.

is /usr/bin/display the program you were looking for?
It supports a subset of ImageMagick's functionality.

Thank you!!!  This is EXACTLY it.  :-)  Like I said, haven't used this
in a while and had forgotten about this!

I was also going to mention /usr/bin/display, but as I wasn't quick enough I 
will mention Kim4:

kde-misc/kim4
     Available versions:  
	(4)
		(~)	0.9.5 "~amd64 ~x86"
     Installed versions:  0.9.5(4)(16:39:44 12/18/10)
     Homepage:            http://www.kde-
apps.org/content/show.php/Kim+%28Kde+Image+Menu%29?content=11505
     Description:         a Dolphin and Konqueror service menu for ImageMagick

in case you are using KDE apps.

There was also another GUI with commands like on this screenshot:
http://tuxradar.com/files/imagemagick-1.png but I do not remember how
to launch it. :-)

That's 'display'.  Use left-mouse to display the menu.

AFAIK ImageMagick has *always* been a suite of commands, and an optional
GUI client. I have been used ImageMagick as far back as the early 90s
and it's always been that way... perhaps we were using different
ImageMagicks?
