The ClassType enumeration specifies the image storage class. A DirectClass representation of an image is based on an array of PixelPacket structures in RAM and/or in a disk file where color values are stored "directly". A PseudoClass representation of an image is based on an array of IndexPacket values (also in RAM and/or in a disk file ) which are the index values to the Image colormap (a small array of PixelPacket values) where the color values corresponding to the pixel at the index are stored.
It is possible for an image to be represented as DirectClass and PseudoClass simultaneously, but only one type may be claimed as the current representation by the Image storage_class member. It is normally assumed that when the Image is set to PseudoClass that the DirectClass representation is up to date but while updating the image, this is often not the case. The DirectClass representation of the image may be updated based on the PseudoClass representation by calling the SyncImage() function.
As a special case, CMYK is represented by the red, green, blue, and opacity members of PixelPacket, and CMYKA is the same except that the IndexPacket values represent Opacity. CMYKA images are described as DirectClass even though the IndexPacket values are used (the image colormap is not valid).

typedef enum { UserSpace, UserSpaceOnUse, ObjectBoundingBox } ClipPathUnits;
typedef struct _ColorPacket { PixelPacket pixel; unsigned short index; unsigned long count; } ColorPacket;
The ColorspaceType enumeration is used to specify the colorspace that quantization (color reduction and mapping) is done under or to specify the colorspace when encoding an output image. Colorspaces are ways of describing colors to fit the requirements of a particular application (e.g. Television, offset printing, color monitors). Color reduction, by default, takes place in the RGBColorspace. Empirical evidence suggests that distances in color spaces such as YUVColorspace or YIQColorspace correspond to perceptual color differences more closely han do distances in RGB space. These color spaces may give better results when color reducing an image. Refer to quantize for more details.
When encoding an output image, the colorspaces RGBColorspace, CMYKColorspace, and GRAYColorspace may be specified. The CMYKColorspace option is only applicable when writing TIFF, JPEG, and Adobe Photoshop bitmap (PSD) files.

CompositeOperator is used to select the image composition algorithm used to compose a composite image with an image. By default, each of the composite image pixels are replaced by the corresponding image tile pixel. Specify CompositeOperator to select a different algorithm.
The image compositor requires a matte, or alpha channel in the image for some operations. This extra channel usually defines a mask which represents a sort of a cookie-cutter for the image. This is the case when matte is 255 (full coverage) for pixels inside the shape, zero outside, and between zero and 255 on the boundary. For certain operations, if image does not have a matte channel, it is initialized with 0 for any pixel matching in color to pixel location (0,0), otherwise 255 (to work properly borderWidth must be 0).

FilterTypes is used to adjust the filter algorithm used when resizing images. Different filters experience varying degrees of success with various images and can take significantly different amounts of processing time. GraphicsMagick uses the LanczosFilter by default since this filter has been shown to provide the best results for most images in a reasonable amount of time. Other filter types (e.g. TriangleFilter) may execute much faster but may show artifacts when the image is re-sized or around diagonal lines. The only way to be sure is to test the filter with sample images.

The Image structure represents an GraphicsMagick image. It is initially allocated by AllocateImage() and deallocated by DestroyImage(). The functions ReadImage(), ReadImages(), BlobToImage() and CreateImage() return a new image. Use CloneImage() to copy an image. An image consists of a structure containing image attributes as well as the image pixels.
The image pixels are represented by the structure PixelPacket and are cached in-memory, or on disk, depending on the cache threshold setting. This cache is known as the "pixel cache". Pixels in the cache may not be edited directly. They must first be made visible from the cache via a pixel view. A pixel view is a rectangular view of the pixels as defined by a starting coordinate, and a number of rows and columns. When considering the varying abilities of multiple platforms, the most reliably efficient pixel view is comprized of part, or all, of one image row.
There are two means of accessing pixel views. When using the default view, the pixels are made visible and accessable by using the GetImagePixels() method which provides access to a specified region of the image. After the view has been updated, the pixels may be saved back to the cache in their original positions via SyncImagePixels(). In order to create an image with new contents, or to blindly overwrite existing contents, the method SetImagePixels() is used to reserve a pixel view corresponding to a region in the pixel cache. Once the pixel view has been updated, it may be written to the cache via SyncImagePixels(). The function GetIndexes() provides access to the image colormap, represented as an array of type IndexPacket.
A more flexible interface to the image pixels is via the Cache View interface. This interface supports multiple pixel cache views (limited by the amount of available memory), each of which are identified by a handle (of type ViewInfo). Use OpenCacheView() to obtain a new cache view, CloseCacheView() to discard a cache view, GetCacheViewPixels() to access an existing pixel region, SetCacheView() to define a new pixel region, and SyncCacheViewPixels() to save the updated pixel region. The function GetCacheViewIndexes() provides access to the colormap indexes associated with the pixel view.
When writing encoders and decoders for new image formats, it is convenient to have a high-level interface available which supports converting between external pixel representations and GraphicsMagick's own representation. Pixel components (red, green, blue, opacity, RGB, or RGBA) may be transferred from a user-supplied buffer into the default view by using ImportImagePixelArea(), or from an allocated view via ImportViewPixelArea(). Pixel components may be transferred from the default view into a user-supplied buffer by using ExportImagePixelArea(), or from an allocated view via ExportViewPixelArea(). Use of this high-level interface helps protect image coders from changes to GraphicsMagick's pixel representation and simplifies the implementation.
The members of the Image structure are shown in the following table:

The ImageInfo structure is used to supply option information to the functions AllocateImage(), AnimateImages(), BlobToImage(), CloneAnnotateInfo(), DisplayImages(), GetAnnotateInfo(), ImageToBlob(), PingImage(), ReadImage(), ReadImages(), and, WriteImage(). These functions update information in ImageInfo to reflect attributes of the current image.
Use CloneImageInfo() to duplicate an existing ImageInfo structure or allocate a new one. Use DestroyImageInfo() to deallocate memory associated with an ImageInfo structure. Use GetImageInfo() to initialize an existing ImageInfo structure. Use SetImageInfo() to set image type information in the ImageInfo structure based on an existing image.
The members of the ImageInfo structure are shown in the following table:

IndexPacket is the type used for a colormap index. An array of type IndexPacket is used to represent an image in PseudoClass type. Currently supported IndexPacket underlying types are 'unsigned char' and 'unsigned short'. The type is selected at build time according to the QuantumDepth setting.
InterlaceType specifies the ordering of the red, green, and blue pixel information in the image. Interlacing is usually used to make image information available to the user faster by taking advantage of the space vs time tradeoff. For example, interlacing allows images on the Web to be recognizable sooner and satellite images to accumulate/render with image resolution increasing over time.
Use LineInterlace or PlaneInterlace to create an interlaced GIF or progressive JPEG image.

The MagickInfo structure is used by GraphicsMagick to register support for an image format. The MagickInfo structure is allocated with default parameters by calling SetMagickInfo(). Image formats are registered by calling RegisterMagickInfo() which adds the initial structure to a linked list (at which point it is owned by the list). A pointer to the structure describing a format may be obtained by calling GetMagickInfo(). Pass the argument NULL to obtain the first member of this list. A human-readable list of registered image formats may be printed to a file descriptor by calling ListMagickInfo().
Support for formats may be provided as a module which is part of the GraphicsMagick library, provided by a module which is loaded dynamically at run-time, or directly by the linked program. Users of GraphicsMagick will normally want to create a loadable-module, or support encode/decode of an image format directly from within their program.
Sample Module:
The following shows sample code for a module called "GIF" (gif.c). Note that the names of the Register and Unregister call-back routines are calculated at run-time, and therefore must follow the rigid naming scheme RegisterFORMATImage and UnregisterFORMATImage, respectively, where FORMAT is the upper-cased name of the module file:
/* Read image */ Image *ReadGIFImage(const ImageInfo *image_info) { [ decode the image ... ] } /* Write image */ unsigned int WriteGIFImage(const ImageInfo *image_info,Image *image) { [ encode the image ... ] } /* Module call-back to register support for formats */ void RegisterGIFImage(void) { MagickInfo *entry; entry=SetMagickInfo("GIF"); entry->decoder=ReadGIFImage; entry->encoder=WriteGIFImage; entry->description="CompuServe graphics interchange format"; entry->module="GIF"; RegisterMagickInfo(entry); entry=SetMagickInfo("GIF87"); entry->decoder=ReadGIFImage; entry->encoder=WriteGIFImage; entry->adjoin=False; entry->description="CompuServe graphics interchange format (version 87a)"; entry->module="GIF"; RegisterMagickInfo(entry); } /* Module call-back to unregister support for formats */ Export void UnregisterGIFImage(void) { UnregisterMagickInfo("GIF"); UnregisterMagickInfo("GIF87"); }
Sample Application Code
Image format support provided within the user's application does not need to implement the RegisterFORMATImage and UnregisterFORMATImage call-back routines. Instead, the application takes responsibility for the registration itself. An example follows:
/* Read image */ Image *ReadGIFImage(const ImageInfo *image_info) { [ decode the image ... ] } /* Write image */ unsigned int WriteGIFImage(const ImageInfo *image_info,Image *image) { [ encode the image ... ] } #include <stdio.h> int main( void ) { struct MagickInfo* info; info = SetMagickInfo("GIF"); if ( info == (MagickInfo*)NULL ) exit(1); info->decoder = ReadGIFImage; info->encoder = WriteGIFImage; info->adjoin = False; info->description = "CompuServe graphics interchange format"; /* Add MagickInfo structure to list */ RegisterMagickInfo(info); info = GetMagickInfo("GIF"); [ do something with info ... ] ListMagickInfo( stdout ); return; }

The PixelPacket structure is used to represent DirectClass color pixels in GraphicsMagick. If the image is indicated as a PseudoClass image, its DirectClass representation is only assured to be valid immediately after calling SyncImage(), although it is usually already valid and the convention is to assure that the DirectClass representation is updated. If an image is set as PseudoClass and the DirectClass representation is modified, the image should then be set as DirectClass. Use QuantizeImage() to restore the PseudoClass colormap if the DirectClass representation is modified.
The members of the PixelPacket structure are shown in the following table:

Notes:
Quantum is an unsigned short (MaxRGB=65535) if GraphicsMagick is built using -DQuantumDepth=16 Otherwise it is an unsigned char (MaxRGB=255).
SyncImage() may be used to synchronize the DirectClass color pixels to the current PseudoClass colormap.
For pixel representation purposes, all colorspaces are treated like RGBColorspace except for CMYKColorspace.
The PointInfo structure is used by the ChromaticityInfo structure to specify chromaticity point values. This defines the boundaries and gammut (range of included color) of the colorspace.

The QuantizeInfo structure is used to support passing parameters to GraphicsMagick's color quantization (reduction) functions. Color quantization is the process of analyzing one or more images, and calculating a color palette which best approximates the image within a specified colorspace, and then adjusting the image pixels to use the calculated color palette. The maximum number of colors allowed in the color palette may be specified.
Method |
Description |
GetQuantizeInfo() |
Allocate new structure with defaults set. |
CloneQuantizeInfo() |
Copy existing structure, allocating new structure in the process. |
DestroyQuantizeInfo () |
Deallocate structure, including any members. |
QuantizeImage |
Analyzes the colors within a reference image and chooses a fixed number of colors to represent the image. |
QuantizeImages |
Analyzes the colors within a set of reference images and chooses a fixed number of colors to represent the set. |
Member |
Type |
Description |
colorspace |
ColorspaceType |
The colorspace to quantize in. Color reduction, by default, takes place in the RGB color space. Empirical evidence suggests that distances in color spaces such as YUV or YIQ correspond to perceptual color differences more closely than do distances in RGB space. The Transparent color space behaves uniquely in that it preserves the matte channel of the image if it exists. |
dither |
unsigned int |
Set to True (non-zero) to apply Floyd/Steinberg error diffusion to the image. When the size of the color palette is less than the image colors, this trades off spacial resolution for color resolution by dithering to achieve a similar looking image. |
measure_error |
unsigned int |
Set to True (non-zero) to calculate quantization errors when quantizing the image. |
number_colors |
unsigned int |
Specify the maximum number of colors in the output image. Must be equal to, or less than MaxRGB, which is determined by the value of QuantumLeap when GraphicsMagick was compiled. |
signature |
unsigned long |
??? |
tree_depth |
unsigned int |
Specify the tree depth to use while quantizing. The values zero and one support automatic tree depth determination. The tree depth may be forced via values ranging from two to eight. The ideal tree depth depends on the characteristics of the input image, and may be determined through experimentation. |
Quantum is the base type ('unsigned char', 'unsigned short', 'unsigned int') used to store a pixel component (e.g. 'R' is one pixel component of an RGB pixel).
QuantumType is used to indicate the source or destination format of entire pixels, or components of pixels ("Quantums") while they are being read, or written to, a pixel cache. The validity of these format specifications depends on whether the Image pixels are in RGB format, RGBA format, or CMYK format. The pixel Quantum size is determined by the Image depth (eight or sixteen bits).

Rendering intent is a concept defined by ICC Spec ICC.1:1998-09, "File Format for Color Profiles". GraphicsMagick uses RenderingIntent in order to support ICC Color Profiles.
From the specification: "Rendering intent specifies the style of reproduction to be used during the evaluation of this profile in a sequence of profiles. It applies specifically to that profile in the sequence and not to the entire sequence. Typically, the user or application will set the rendering intent dynamically at runtime or embedding time."
Enumeration |
Description |
UndefinedIntent |
Unset value. |
SaturationIntent |
A rendering intent that specifies the saturation of the pixels in the image is preserved perhaps at the expense of accuracy in hue and lightness. |
PerceptualIntent |
A rendering intent that specifies the full gamut of the image is compressed or expanded to fill the gamut of the destination device. Gray balance is preserved but colorimetric accuracy might not be preserved. |
AbsoluteIntent |
Absolute colorimetric |
RelativeIntent |
Relative colorimetric |
By default, GraphicsMagick defines resolutions in pixels per inch. ResolutionType provides a means to adjust this.
Enumeration |
Description |
UndefinedResolution |
Unset value. |
PixelsPerInchResolution |
Density specifications are specified in units of pixels per inch (english units). |
PixelsPerCentimeterResolution |
Density specifications are specified in units of pixels per centimeter (metric units). |
Resource limits constrain the system resources that a GraphicsMagick process may consume, or that individual decode/encode and/or image processing operations may consume. If a resource is expended and another resource may be substituted (e.g. RAM memory vs an on-disk temporary file), then the alternative resource is used until it is also expended. When a resource limit is exceeded and there is no more alternative resource available then a hard error is reported for the operation being performed.
Global limits may be applied for the Pixel Cache total disk space (Gigabytes), the Pixel Cache number of simultaneous open files (Files), the Pixel Cache total file memory-mapping (Megabytes), the maximum heap memory allocations (Megabytes), the maximum number of pixels in single image (Pixels), the maximum number of worker threads, the maximum pixel width of an image (Pixels), the maximum pixel height of an image (Pixels), and the maximum amount of uncompressed file data which may be read while decoding.
Normally these limits should be set before using GraphicsMagick to perform other operations. Environment variables are available which may also set these properties when GraphicsMagick is initialized.

ViewInfo represents a handle to a pixel view, which represents a uniquely selectable rectangular region of pixels. The only limit on the number of views is the amount of available memory. Each Image contains a collection of default views (one view per thread) so that the image may be usefully accessed without needing to explicitly allocate pixel views.
typedef void *ViewInfo;
The VirtualPixelMethod enumeration describes how the pixel cache APIs fill requested pixel regions which are outside of the image. Returned pixels must be initialized to some value. The edge of the image represents a "disconnect" but convolutions and other filters need mathematical continuity while computing their results or else the computed edges of the image would be distorted.
