Example Usage • Option Summary • Magick Scripting Language (MSL)

The `conjure` program gives you the ability to perform custom image processing tasks from a script written in the Magick Scripting Language (MSL). MSL is XML-based and consists of action statements with attributes. Actions include reading an image, processing an image, getting attributes from an image, writing an image, and more. An attribute is a key/value pair that modifies the behavior of an action. See Command Line Processing for advice on how to structure your `conjure` command or see below for example usages of the command.

## Example Usage

We list a few examples of the `conjure` command here to illustrate its usefulness and ease of use. To get started, here is simple `conjure` command:

    conjure -dimensions 400x400 msl:incantation.msl

The MSL script incantation.msl used above is here:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <image>
      <read filename="image.gif" />
      <get width="base-width" height="base-height" />
      <resize geometry="%[dimensions]" />
      <get width="resize-width" height="resize-height" />
      <print output="Image sized from %[base-width]x%[base-height] to %[resize-width]x%[resize-height].\n" />
      <write filename="image.png" />
    </image>

In this example, a family stayed home for their vacation but as far as their friends are concerned they went to a beautiful beach in the Caribbean:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <group>
        <image id="family">
            <read filename="family.gif"/>
            <resize geometry="300x300"/>
        </image>
        <image id="palm-trees">
            <read filename="palm-trees.gif"/>
            <resize geometry="300x100"/>
        </image>
        <image>
            <read filename="beach.jpg"/>
            <composite image="family" geometry="+30+40"/>
            <composite image="palm-trees" geometry="+320+90"/>
        </image>
        <write filename="family-vacation.png"/>
    </group>

Here we display the width in pixels of text for a particular font and pointsize.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <image>
      <query-font-metrics text="ImageMagick" font="helvetica" pointsize="48" />
      <print output="Text width is %[msl:font-metrics.width] pixels.\n" />
    </image>

The `query-font-metrics` tag supports these properties:

    msl:font-metrics.pixels_per_em.x
    msl:font-metrics.pixels_per_em.y
    msl:font-metrics.ascent
    msl:font-metrics.descent
    msl:font-metrics.width
    msl:font-metrics.height
    msl:font-metrics.max_advance
    msl:font-metrics.bounds.x1
    msl:font-metrics.bounds.y1
    msl:font-metrics.bounds.x2
    msl:font-metrics.bounds.y2
    msl:font-metrics.origin.x
    msl:font-metrics.origin.y

MSL supports most methods and attributes discussed in the Perl API for ImageMagick.

In addition, MSL supports the `swap` element with a single `indexes` element.

You can find additional examples of using `conjure` in Graphics from the Command Line. Further discussion is available in More Graphics from the Command Line and Examples of ImageMagick Usage.
