[magick-users] What programme do i learn in order to understand imagemagick

[Fred Weinhaus]

In addition to the APIs mentioned in the previous post, IM has a 
command line mode that can be run from your terminal. Scripts can be 
built from the commands, but it depends upon which type of computer 
you use. If you are on Linux or Mac OSX, you can use any of the 
shells. I use bash mostly. On windows I believe you write bat files.

I have built a lot of unix bash scripts. They all use command line 
mode rather than any API. They are at 
http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/index.html.

But as the other person said, you should look around the Imagemagick 
web site and especially at

http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-options.php

and
