Go Imagick

Go Imagick is a Go bind to ImageMagick's MagickWand C API.

It was originally developed and tested with ImageMagick 6.8.5-4, however most official Unix or Linux distributions use older versions (6.7.7, 6.8.0, etc) so some features in Go Imagick's go1 branch are being commented out and will see the light when these ImageMagick distributions could easily be updated (from the devops PoV).

Install

Mac OS X

MacPorts

sudo port install ImageMagick

Ubuntu / Debian

sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev

Common

Check if pkg-config is able to find the right ImageMagick include and libs:

pkg-config --cflags --libs MagickWand

Then go get it:

go get github.com/gographics/imagick/imagick

Examples

The examples folder is full with usage examples ported from C ones found in here: http://members.shaw.ca/el.supremo/MagickWand/

Quick and partial example

Since this is a CGO binding, Go GC does not manage memory allocated by the C API then is necessary to use Terminate() and Destroy() methods.

package main

import "github.com/gographics/imagick/imagick"

func main() {
	imagick.Initialize()
	defer imagick.Terminate()

	mw := imagick.NewMagickWand()
	defer mw.Destroy()

	...
}
