This package provides a wrapper around ImageMagick version 6. It was split off from Images.jl to make image I/O more modular.
Add the package with
Pkg.add("ImageMagick")ImageMagick will be used as needed if you've said
using FileIO
in your session or module. You should not generally say using ImageMagick. See FileIO for
further details.
It's worth pointing out that packages such as Images load FileIO.
ImageMagick.jl will use the system-wide libMagicWand in /usr/local/lib if
present (e.g. via a manual installation with homebrew). If not it will install
its own copy via Homebrew.jl.
An alternative to ImageMagick on OS X is QuartzImageIO.
You may also find debugging Homebrew useful.
If automatic installation fails, get the current version from
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows
(e.g. ImageMagick-6.8.8-7-Q16-x86-dll.exe) and make sure that the "Install
development headers and libraries for C and C++" checkbox is selected. You may
choose to let the installer add the installation directory to the system path or
provide it separately. In the later case you may add it to your .juliarc.jl
file as (for example) push!(Base.DL_LOAD_PATH, "C:/programs/ImageMagick-6.8.8"). Alternatively, you can set your MAGICK_HOME environment variable.
When manual intervention is necessary, you need to restart Julia for the necessary changes to take effect.
ImageMagick.jl automatically searches for an installed version of
libMagickWand. Use the environment variable MAGICK_HOME to add to the search
path. Use ImageMagick.libversion to see what version it found. Version 6.7+
(up to but not including 7.0) are the most supported versions, in particular
for multipage TIFFs.
The environment variable MAGICK_THREAD_LIMIT can be used to throttle multithreading.
