GetImageHistogram() returns the unique colors in an image.

The format of the GetImageHistogram method is:

  unsigned long GetImageHistogram(const Image *image,
    unsigned long *number_colors,ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows.

image

the image.

file

Write a histogram of the color distribution to this file handle.

exception

return any errors or warnings in this structure.

GetNumberColors() returns the number of unique colors in an image.

The format of the GetNumberColors method is:

  unsigned long GetNumberColors(const Image *image,FILE *file,
    ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows.

image

the image.

file

Write a histogram of the color distribution to this file handle.

exception

return any errors or warnings in this structure.

IsGrayImage() returns MagickTrue if all the pixels in the image have the same red, green, and blue intensities.

The format of the IsGrayImage method is:

  MagickBooleanType IsGrayImage(Image *image,ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

image

the image.

exception

return any errors or warnings in this structure.

IsHistogramImage() returns MagickTrue if the image has 1024 unique colors or less.

The format of the IsHistogramImage method is:

  MagickBooleanType IsHistogramImage(const Image *image,
    ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows.

image

the image.

exception

return any errors or warnings in this structure.

IsMonochromeImage() returns MagickTrue if all the pixels in the image have the same red, green, and blue intensities and the intensity is either 0 or QuantumRange.

The format of the IsMonochromeImage method is:

  MagickBooleanType IsMonochromeImage(Image *image,
    ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

image

the image.

exception

return any errors or warnings in this structure.

IsOpaqueImage() returns MagickTrue if none of the pixels in the image have an opacity value other than opaque (0).

The format of the IsOpaqueImage method is:

  MagickBooleanType IsOpaqueImage(const Image *image,
    ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

image

the image.

exception

return any errors or warnings in this structure.

IsPaletteImage() returns MagickTrue if the image is PseudoClass and has 256 unique colors or less.

The format of the IsPaletteImage method is:

  MagickBooleanType IsPaletteImage(const Image *image,
    ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows.

image

the image.

exception

return any errors or warnings in this structure.

ListColorInfo() lists color names to the specified file. Color names are a convenience. Rather than defining a color by its red, green, and blue intensities just use a color name such as white, blue, or yellow.

The format of the ListColorInfo method is:

  MagickBooleanType ListColorInfo(FILE *file,ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows.

file

List color names to this file handle.

exception

return any errors or warnings in this structure.

LoadColorList() loads one or more color configuration file which provides a mapping between color attributes and a color name.

The format of the LoadColorLists method is:

  MagickBooleanType LoadColorLists(const char *filename,
    ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

filename

the font file name.

exception

return any errors or warnings in this structure.

QueryColorDatabase() returns the red, green, blue, and opacity intensities for a given color name.

The format of the QueryColorDatabase method is:

  MagickBooleanType QueryColorDatabase(const char *name,PixelPacket *color,
    ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

name

the color name (e.g. white, blue, yellow).

color

the red, green, blue, and opacity intensities values of the named color in this structure.

exception

return any errors or warnings in this structure.

QueryColorname() returns a named color for the given color intensity. If an exact match is not found, a rgb() color is returned instead.

The format of the QueryColorname method is:

  MagickBooleanType QueryColorname(const Image *image,
    const PixelPacket *color,const ComplianceType compliance,char *name,
    ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows.

image

the image.

color

the color intensities.

compliance

Adhere to this color standard: SVG, X11, or XPM.

name

Return the color name or hex value.

exception

return any errors or warnings in this structure.

QueryMagickColor() returns the red, green, blue, and opacity intensities for a given color name.
