NAME
       ImageMagick - ImageMagick is an X11 package for display and interactive
       manipulation of images.

DESCRIPTION
       ImageMagick, version 5.2.0, is a robust collection of tools and
       libraries to read, write, and manipulate an image in any of the more
       popular image formats including GIF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, and Photo CD. With
       ImageMagick you can create GIFs dynamically making it suitable for Web
       applications.  You can also resize, rotate, sharpen, color reduce, or
       add special effects to an image and save your completed work in the
       same or differing image format.	Although the software is copyrighted,
       it is available for free and can be redistributed without fee.
       ImageMagick is available via anonymous FTP as ftp://ftp.wiz‐
       ards.dupont.com/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-5.2.0.tar.gz.

       display
	      Display is a machine architecture independent image and display
	      program.	It can display an image on any workstation display
	      running an X server.  Display can read and write many of the
	      more popular image formats (e.g. JPEG, TIFF, PNM, Photo CD,
	      etc.).  You can perform these functions on the image:

		   o load an image from a file
		   o display the next image
		   o display the former image
		   o display a sequence of images as a slide show
		   o write the image to a file
		   o print the image to a Postscript printer
		   o delete the image file
		   o create a Visual Image Directory
		   o select the image to display by its thumbnail rather than name
		   o undo last image transformation
		   o copy a region of the image
		   o paste a region to the image
		   o restore the image to its original size
		   o refresh the image
		   o half the image size
		   o double the image size
		   o resize the image
		   o crop the image
		   o cut the image
		   o flop image in the horizontal direction
		   o flip image in the vertical direction
		   o rotate the image 90 degrees clockwise
		   o rotate the image 90 degrees counter-clockwise
		   o rotate the image
		   o shear the image
		   o trim the image edges
		   o invert the colors of the image
		   o vary the color brightness
		   o vary the color saturation
		   o vary the image hue
		   o gamma correct the image
		   o sharpen the image contrast
		   o dull the image contrast
		   o perform histogram equalization on the image
		   o perform histogram normalization on the image
		   o negate the image colors
		   o toggle the colormap type: : Shared or Private
		   o reduce the speckles within an image
		   o eliminate peak noise from an image
		   o detect edges within the image
		   o emboss an image
		   o oil paint an image
		   o convert the image to grayscale
		   o set the maximum number of unique colors in the image
		   o segment the image by color
		   o apply image processing techniques to a region of interest
		   o annotate the image with text
		   o draw on the image
		   o edit an image pixel color
		   o edit the image matte information
		   o composite an image with another
		   o add a border to the image
		   o surround image with an ornamental border
		   o add an image comment
		   o display image centered on a backdrop
		   o display image to background of a window
		   o display information about the image
		   o display information about this program
		   o discard all images and exit program
		   o change the level of magnification
		   o display images specified by a World Wide Web (WWW) uniform resource locator (URL)

       import Import reads an image from any visible window on an X server and
	      outputs it as an image file.  You can capture a single window,
	      the entire screen, or any rectangular portion of the screen.
	      You can use the display (see display(1)) utility for redisplay,
	      printing, editing, formatting, archiving, image processing, etc.
	      of the captured image.

	      The target window can be specified by id, name, or may be
	      selected by clicking the mouse in the desired window.  If you
	      press a button and then drag, a rectangle will form which
	      expands and contracts as the mouse moves.	 To save the portion
	      of the screen  defined by the rectangle, just release the but‐
	      ton.  The keyboard bell is rung once at the beginning of the
	      screen capture and twice when it completes.

       animate
	      Animate displays a sequence of images on any workstation display
	      running an X server.  Animate first determines the hardware
	      capabilities of the workstation.	If the number of unique colors
	      in an image is less than or equal to the number the workstation
	      can support, the image is displayed in an X window.  Otherwise
	      the number of colors in the image is first reduced to match the
	      color resolution of the workstation before it is displayed.

	      This means that a continuous-tone 24 bits/pixel image can dis‐
	      play on a 8 bit pseudo-color device or monochrome device.	 In
	      most instances the reduced color image closely resembles the
	      original.	 Alternatively, a monochrome or pseudo-color image
	      sequence can display on a continuous-tone 24 bits/pixels device.

       montage
	      Montage creates a composite image by combining several separate
	      images.  The images are tiled on the composite image with the
	      name of the image optionally appearing just below the individual
	      tile.

       convert
	      Convert converts an input file using one image format to an out‐
	      put file with a differing image format. By default, the image
	      format is determined by its magic number. To specify a particu‐
	      lar image format, precede the filename with an image format name
	      and a colon (i.e.	 ps:image) or specify the image type as the
	      filename suffix (i.e. image.ps).	Specify file as - for standard
	      input or output.	If file has the extension .Z, the file is
	      decoded with uncompress.

       mogrify
	      Mogrify transforms an image or a sequence of images.  These
	      transforms include image scaling, image rotation, color reduc‐
	      tion, and others.	 The transmogrified image overwrites the orig‐
	      inal image.

       identify
	      describes the format and characteristics of one or more image
	      files.  It will also report if an image is incomplete or cor‐
	      rupt.  The information displayed includes the scene number, the
	      file name, the width and height of the image, whether the image
	      is colormapped or not, the number of colors in the image, the
	      number of bytes in the image, the format of the image (JPEG,
	      PNM, etc.), and finally the number of seconds it took to read
	      and process the image.

       combine
	      Combine combines images to create new images.

       xtp    Xtp is a utility for retrieving, listing, or printing files from
	      a remote network site, or sending files to a remote network
	      site.  Xtp performs most of the same functions as the ftp pro‐
	      gram, but does not require any interactive commands.  You simply
	      specify the file transfer task on the command line and xtp per‐
	      forms the task automatically.
