Perspective, and Bilinear, falls back to a Affine distortion when less that 4 control point pairs are provided.

    the magick wand.

MagickModulateImage() lets you control the brightness, saturation, and hue of an image. Hue is the percentage of absolute rotation from the current position. For example 50 results in a counter-clockwise rotation of 90 degrees, 150 results in a clockwise rotation of 90 degrees, with 0 and 200 both resulting in a rotation of 180 degrees.

To increase the color brightness by 20 and decrease the color saturation by 10 and leave the hue unchanged, use: 120,90,100.

The format of the MagickModulateImage method is:

  MagickBooleanType MagickModulateImage(MagickWand *wand,
    const double brightness,const double saturation,const double hue)

A description of each parameter follows:

wand

    the magick wand.

brightness

    the percent change in brighness.

saturation

    the percent change in saturation.

hue

    the percent change in hue.

MagickMontageImage() creates a composite image by combining several separate images. The images are tiled on the composite image with the name of the image optionally appearing just below the individual tile.

The format of the MagickMontageImage method is:

  MagickWand *MagickMontageImage(MagickWand *wand,
    const DrawingWand drawing_wand,const char *tile_geometry,
    const char *thumbnail_geometry,const MontageMode mode,
    const char *frame)

A description of each parameter follows:

wand

    the magick wand.

drawing_wand

    the drawing wand. The font name, size, and color are obtained from this wand.

tile_geometry

    the number of tiles per row and page (e.g. 6x4+0+0).

thumbnail_geometry

    Preferred image size and border size of each thumbnail (e.g. 120x120+4+3>).

mode

    Thumbnail framing mode: Frame, Unframe, or Concatenate.

frame

    Surround the image with an ornamental border (e.g. 15x15+3+3). The frame color is that of the thumbnail's matte color.

MagickMorphImages() method morphs a set of images. Both the image pixels and size are linearly interpolated to give the appearance of a meta-morphosis from one image to the next.

The format of the MagickMorphImages method is:

  MagickWand *MagickMorphImages(MagickWand *wand,
    const unsigned long number_frames)

A description of each parameter follows:

wand

    the magick wand.

number_frames

    the number of in-between images to generate.

MagickMotionBlurImage() simulates motion blur. We convolve the image with a Gaussian operator of the given radius and standard deviation (sigma). For reasonable results, radius should be larger than sigma. Use a radius of 0 and MotionBlurImage() selects a suitable radius for you. Angle gives the angle of the blurring motion.

The format of the MagickMotionBlurImage method is:

  MagickBooleanType MagickMotionBlurImage(MagickWand *wand,
    const double radius,const double sigma,const double angle)
  MagickBooleanType MagickMotionBlurImageChannel(MagickWand *wand,
    const ChannelType channel,const double radius,const double sigma,
    const double angle)

A description of each parameter follows:

wand

    the magick wand.

channel

    the image channel(s).

radius

    the radius of the Gaussian, in pixels, not counting the center pixel.

sigma

    the standard deviation of the Gaussian, in pixels.

angle

    Apply the effect along this angle.

MagickNegateImage() negates the colors in the reference image. The Grayscale option means that only grayscale values within the image are negated.

You can also reduce the influence of a particular channel with a gamma value of 0.

The format of the MagickNegateImage method is:

  MagickBooleanType MagickNegateImage(MagickWand *wand,
    const MagickBooleanType gray)
  MagickBooleanType MagickNegateImage(MagickWand *wand,
    const ChannelType channel,const MagickBooleanType gray)

A description of each parameter follows:

wand

    the magick wand.

channel

    the image channel(s).

gray

    If MagickTrue, only negate grayscale pixels within the image.

MagickNewImage() adds a blank image canvas of the specified size and background color to the wand.

The format of the MagickNewImage method is:

  MagickBooleanType MagickNewImage(MagickWand *wand,
    const unsigned long columns,const unsigned long rows,
    const PixelWand *background)

A description of each parameter follows:

wand

    the magick wand.

width

    the image width.

height

    the image height.

background

    the image color.

MagickNextImage() associates the next image in the image list with a magick wand.

The format of the MagickNextImage method is:

  MagickBooleanType MagickNextImage(MagickWand *wand)

A description of each parameter follows:

wand

    the magick wand.

MagickNormalizeImage() enhances the contrast of a color image by adjusting the pixels color to span the entire range of colors available

You can also reduce the influence of a particular channel with a gamma value of 0.

The format of the MagickNormalizeImage method is:

  MagickBooleanType MagickNormalizeImage(MagickWand *wand)
  MagickBooleanType MagickNormalizeImageChannel(MagickWand *wand,
    const ChannelType channel)

A description of each parameter follows:

wand

    the magick wand.

channel

    the image channel(s).

MagickOilPaintImage() applies a special effect filter that simulates an oil painting. Each pixel is replaced by the most frequent color occurring in a circular region defined by radius.

The format of the MagickOilPaintImage method is:

  MagickBooleanType MagickOilPaintImage(MagickWand *wand,
    const double radius)

A description of each parameter follows:

wand

    the magick wand.

radius

    the radius of the circular neighborhood.

MagickOpaquePaintImage() changes any pixel that matches color with the color defined by fill.

The format of the MagickOpaquePaintImage method is:

  MagickBooleanType MagickOpaquePaintImage(MagickWand *wand,
    const PixelWand *target,const PixelWand *fill,const double fuzz,
    const MagickBooleanType invert)
