@(#)ImageMagick X.Y.Z MM/DD/YY Q:16 https://www.imagemagick.org

MANAGED_MEMORY

If true, RMagick is using Ruby managed memory for all allocations. If false, RMagick allocates memory for objects directly from the operating system. You can enable RMagick to use Ruby managed memory (when built with ImageMagick 6.4.0-11 and later) by setting

RMAGICK_ENABLE_MANAGED_MEMORY = true

before requiring RMagick.

ChannelType

Specify an image channel. A channel is a color component of a pixel. In the RGB colorspace the channels are red, green, and blue. There may also be an alpha (transparency/opacity) channel. In the CMYK colorspace the channels area cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. In the HSL colorspace the channels are hue, saturation, and lightness. In the Gray colorspace the only channel is gray. See Image#channel and Image::Info#channel.

DirectClass

Image is composed of pixels which represent literal color values.

PseudoClass

Image is composed of pixels which specify an index in a color palette.

ColorspaceType

Specify the colorspace that quantization (color reduction and mapping) is done under or to specify the colorspace when encoding an output image. Color spaces are ways of describing colors to fit the requirements of a particular application (e.g. Television, offset printing, color monitors).  Color reduction, by default, takes place in the RGBColorspace. Empirical evidence suggests that distances in color spaces such as YUVColorspace or YIQColorspace correspond to perceptual color differences more closely than do distances in RGB space. These color spaces may give better results when color reducing an image.

When encoding an output image, the color spaces RGBColorspace, CMYKColorspace, and GRAYColorspace may be specified. The CMYKColorspace option is only applicable when writing TIFF, JPEG, and Adobe Photoshop bitmap (PSD) files. See colorspace.

Each version of ImageMagick defines a subset of the color spaces listed below. To list the subset supported by your version, issue the command:

ruby -r rmagick -e"Magick::ColorspaceType.values {|cs| puts cs}"

UndefinedColorspace

No colorspace has been specified.

CompositeOperator

Select the image composition algorithm used to compose a composite image with a image. By default, each of the composite image pixels are replaced by the corresponding image tile pixel. Specify CompositeOperator to select a different algorithm. See composite.

UndefinedCompositeOp

No composite operator has been specified.

AddCompositeOp

The result of composite image + image, with overflow wrapping around (mod 256).

AtopCompositeOp

The result is the same shape as image, with composite image obscuring image where the image shapes overlap. Note that this differs from OverCompositeOp because the portion of composite image outside of image's shape does not appear in the result.

BlendCompositeOp

BlurCompositeOp

?

BumpmapCompositeOp

The result image shaded by composite image.

ChangeMaskCompositeOp

Replace any destination pixel that is the similar to the source image's pixel (as defined by the current fuzz factor), with transparency.

ClearCompositeOp

Make the target image transparent. The composite image is ignored.

ColorBurnCompositeOp

Darkens the destination color to reflect the source color. Painting with white produces no change.

ColorDodgeCompositeOp

Brightens the destination color to reflect the source color. Painting with black produces no change.

ColorizeCompositeOp

Each pixel in the result image is the combination of the brightness of the target image and the saturation and hue of the composite image. This is the opposite of LuminizeCompositeOp.

CopyAlphaCompositeOp

If the composite image's alpha? is true, copy the opacity channel from the composite image to the target image. Otherwise, set the target image pixel's opacity to the intensity of the corresponding pixel in the composite image.

CopyCompositeOp

Replace the target image with the composite image.

CopyBlackCompositeOp

Copy the black channel from the composite image to the target image.

CopyBlueCompositeOp

Copy the blue channel from the composite image to the target image.

CopyCyanCompositeOp

Copy the cyan channel from the composite image to the target image.

CopyGreenCompositeOp

Copy the green channel from the composite image to the target image.

CopyMagentaCompositeOp

Copy the magenta channel from the composite image to the target image.

CopyRedCompositeOp

Copy the red channel from the composite image to the target image.

CopyYellowCompositeOp

Copy the yellow channel from the composite image to the target image.

DarkenCompositeOp

Replace target image pixels with darker pixels from the composite image.

DarkenIntensityCompositeOp

DifferenceCompositeOp

The result of abs(composite image - image). This is useful for comparing two very similar images.

DisplaceCompositeOp

Displace target image pixels as defined by a displacement map. The operator used by the displace method.

DissolveCompositeOp

The operator used in the dissolve method.

DistortCompositeOp

?

DivideDstCompositeOp

DivideSrcCompositeOp

DstCompositeOp

The destination is left untouched.

DstAtopCompositeOp

The part of the destination lying inside of the source is composited over the source and replaces the destination.

DstInCompositeOp

The part of the destination lying inside of the source replaces the destination.

DstOutCompositeOp

The part of the destination lying outside of the source replaces the destination.

DstOverCompositeOp

The destination is composited over the source and the result replaces the destination.

ExclusionCompositeOp

Produces an effect similar to that of 'difference', but appears as lower contrast. Painting with white inverts the destination color. Painting with black produces no change.

HardLightCompositeOp

Multiplies or screens the colors, dependent on the source color value. If the source color is lighter than 0.5, the destination is lightened as if it were screened. If the source color is darker than 0.5, the destination is darkened, as if it were multiplied. The degree of lightening or darkening is proportional to the difference between the source color and 0.5. If it is equal to 0.5 the destination is unchanged. Painting with pure black or white produces black or white.

HardMixCompositeOp

HueCompositeOp

Each pixel in the result image is the combination of the hue of the target image and the saturation and brightness of the composite image.

InCompositeOp

The result is simply composite image cut by the shape of image. None of the image data of image is included in the result.

LightenCompositeOp

Replace target image pixels with lighter pixels from the composite image.

LightenIntensityCompositeOp

LinearBurnCompositeOp

Same as LinearDodgeCompositeOp, but also subtract one from the result. Sort of a additive 'Screen' of the images.

LinearDodgeCompositeOp

This is equivalent to PlusCompositeOp in that the color channels are simply added, however it does not "plus" the alpha channel, but uses the normal OverCompositeOp alpha blending, which transparencies are involved. Produces a sort of additive multiply-like result.

LinearLightCompositeOp

Increase contrast slightly with an impact on the foreground's tonal values.

LuminizeCompositeOp

Each pixel in the result image is the combination of the brightness of the composite image and the saturation and hue of the target image. This is the opposite of ColorizeCompositeOp.

MathematicsCompositeOp

MinusDstCompositeOp

MinusSrcCompositeOp

ModulateCompositeOp

Used by the watermark method.

ModulusAddCompositeOp

ModulusSubtractCompositeOp

MultiplyCompositeOp

Multiplies the color of each target image pixel by the color of the corresponding composite image pixel. The result color is always darker.

NoCompositeOp

No composite operator has been specified.

OutCompositeOp

The resulting image is composite image with the shape of image cut out.

OverCompositeOp

The result is the union of the the two image shapes with composite image obscuring image in the region of overlap. The matte channel of the composite image is respected, so that if the composite pixel is part or all transparent, the corresponding image pixel will show through.

OverlayCompositeOp

Multiplies or screens the colors, dependent on the destination color. Source colors overlay the destination whilst preserving its highlights and shadows. The destination color is not replaced, but is mixed with the source color to reflect the lightness or darkness of the destination.

PegtopLightCompositeOp

Almost equivalent to SoftLightCompositeOp, but using a continuious mathematical formula rather than two conditionally selected formulae.

PinLightCompositeOp

Similar to HardLightCompositeOp, but using sharp linear shadings, to simulate the effects of a strong 'pinhole' light source.

PlusCompositeOp

The result is just the sum of the image data. Output values are cropped to 255 (no overflow). This operation is independent of the matte channels.

ReplaceCompositeOp

The resulting image is image replaced with composite image. Here the matte information is ignored.

SaturateCompositeOp

Each pixel in the result image is the combination of the saturation of the target image and the hue and brightness of the composite image.

ScreenCompositeOp

Multiplies the inverse of each image's color information.

SoftLightCompositeOp

Darkens or lightens the colors, dependent on the source color value. If the source color is lighter than 0.5, the destination is lightened. If the source color is darker than 0.5, the destination is darkened, as if it were burned in. The degree of darkening or lightening is proportional to the difference between the source color and 0.5. If it is equal to 0.5, the destination is unchanged. Painting with pure black or white produces a distinctly darker or lighter area, but does not result in pure black or white.

SrcAtopCompositeOp

The part of the source lying inside of the destination is composited onto the destination.

SrcCompositeOp

The source is copied to the destination. The destination is not used as input.

SrcInCompositeOp

he part of the source lying inside of the destination replaces the destination.

SrcOutCompositeOp

The part of the source lying outside of the destination replaces the destination.

SrcOverCompositeOp

The source is composited over the destination.

SubtractCompositeOp

The result of composite image - image, with underflow wrapping around (mod 256). The add and subtract operators can be used to perform reversible transformations.

ThresholdCompositeOp

?

VividLightCompositeOp

A modified LinearLightCompositeOp designed to preserve very strong primary and secondary colors in the image.

XorCompositeOp

The result is the image data from both composite image and image that is outside the overlap region. The overlap region will be blank.

CompressionType

FilterType

Used to adjust the filter algorithm used when resizing images. Different filters experience varying degrees of success with various images and can take significantly different amounts of processing time. ImageMagick uses the LanczosFilter by default since this filter has been shown to provide the best results for most images in a reasonable amount of time. Other filter types (e.g. TriangleFilter) may execute much faster but may show artifacts when the image is re-sized or around diagonal lines. The only way to be sure is to test the filter with sample images. See resize.

RenderingIntent

Rendering intent is a concept defined by ICC Spec ICC.1:1998-09, "File Format for Color Profiles". ImageMagick uses RenderingIntent in order to support ICC Color Profiles.

From the specification: "Rendering intent specifies the style of reproduction to be used during the evaluation of this profile in a sequence of profiles. It applies specifically to that profile in the sequence and not to the entire sequence. Typically, the user or application will set the rendering intent dynamically at runtime or embedding time."

See rendering_intent.

UndefinedIntent

No intent has been specified.

SaturationIntent

A rendering intent that specifies the saturation of the pixels in the image is preserved perhaps at the expense of accuracy in hue and lightness.

PerceptualIntent

A rendering intent that specifies the full gamut of the image is compressed or expanded to fill the gamut of the destination device. Gray balance is preserved but colorimetric accuracy might not be preserved.

AbsoluteIntent

Absolute colorimetric

RelativeIntent

Relative colorimetric

ResolutionType

By default, ImageMagick defines resolutions in pixels per inch. ResolutionType provides a means to adjust this. See units.

UndefinedResolution

No resolution has been specified.

PixelsPerInchResolution
