[magick-users] is the "import" program available through the Magick++ library?

[Giovanni Gherdovich]

Hi all,

I was wandering if it is possible to call
the program "import" from C++ code,
in an "integrated manner" (I mean without
asking the operating system to launch "import"
and fetch the result).

After a look to the documentations and some
"grep" against the header file of Magick++, it seemed
to me that "import" wasn't imported to Magick++
(no pun intended :-)

I ask this since I would like to work with
screen captures from my C++ program, but I would
like them to be handled from the RAM memory
for performance reasons (i.e. the screen capture
is stored in a local variable and passed to my algorithms).

I may be able to do so directly using X11 api
(I'm a GNU/Linux user), but this alternative sounds painful,
even if I don't have experience with it.

Regards,
Giovanni
