[magick-developers] How to use GetImageInkDensity() from PerlMagick

[ademmler]

Hi Anthony!

Thanks for your reply.


GetImageTotalInkDensity() is a function allready implemented in IM  
and returns the total ink density for an image.
You need this TAC (Toner All Coverage = TotalInkDensity = TID ) in  
prepress to asume possible problems while printing.
The maximum possible value depends on type of paper, ink and print  
process . . .

I wanna know how to call this function from PerlMagick?
I have tried: $image->Get('ImageTotalInkDensity') for know, but it  
did not work.

 From the code:
%
%  GetImageTotalInkDensity() returns the toal ink density for a CMYK  
image.
%  Total nk Density (TID) is determined by adding the CMYK values in the
%  darkest shadow area in an image.
%
%  The format of the GetImageTotalInkDensity method is:
%
%      double GetImageTotalInkDensity(const Image *image)
%
%  A description of each parameter follows:
%
%    o image: The image.
