Messing around with ImageMagick

摘要

I've written previously about working with graphic images within shell scripts, and obviously, it's a little bit tricky because, well, scripts generally are strongest working with text, and you can't even see graphics, let alone manipulate them directly. Further, let's be candid, the suite of utilities included with a stock Linux/UNIX system doesn't include much that help you work with graphics or image files at all.rnFortunately, there's a splendid open-source package called ImageMagick, which actually is designed to make working with image files from the command line easy and fast. It's the smart back end to a bunch of image utilities, and with a quick trip to, you can download it too.
