manipulate an image in many image formats (over 90 major
formats) including popular formats like TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PDF,
PhotoCD, and GIF. With ImageMagick you can create images
dynamically, making it suitable for Web applications. You can
also resize, rotate, sharpen, color reduce, or add special

"font-size: x-small; vertical-align: super">TM</span>... is a
free software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images.
It can read, convert and write images in a large variety of
formats. Images can be cropped, colors can be changed, various
effects can be applied, images can be rotated and combined, and
text, lines, polygons, ellipses and B&eacute;zier curves can be
added to images and stretched and rotated.</p>

<p><em>GraphicsMagick</em> is the swiss army knife of image
processing. It provides a robust collection of tools and
libraries which support reading, writing, and manipulating an
image in over 88 major formats including popular formats like
TIFF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, SVG, and GIF.
<em>GraphicsMagick</em> supports creating new images on the
fly, making it suitable for building dynamic Web applications.
GraphicsMagick may be used to resize, rotate, sharpen, color
reduce, or add special effects to an image and save the result
in the same or differing image format. Image processing
operations are available from the command line, as well as
through C, C++, Perl, Java, or COM programming interfaces.
Extensions are available from third-parties to support
programming in Borland's Delphi, Java, PHP, Python, Scheme, and
Ruby.</p>

DPX, GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG, PDF, SVG, and TIFF.
GraphicsMagick supports huge images on systems that support
large files, and has been tested with gigapixel-size images.
