Wrapper in Erlang for Image/GraphicsMagick

Simple wrapper for GraphicsMagick or ImageMagick using an Erlang port.

Dependencies

Either GraphicsMagick or ImageMagick commandline tools are of course required. On a Debian based system install either graphicsmagick or imagemagick and then configure magick_prefix in your app.config accordingly.

Furthermore rebar and git are necessary to use the automatic build system.

The Erlang package uuid is another dependency

Installation

Build and install with the supplied Makefile or use rebar. Simply typing make will build emagick.

Configuration

It is possible to choose which *magick command to run and what path to use as working directory (default /tmp/emagick if omitted) by configuring magick_prefix and working_directory when you run emagick by passing a proplist with the below settings to convert/5.

    {magick_prefix, ""},       %% ImageMagick
    %{magick_prefix, "gm"},    %% GraphicsMagick
    {working_directory, "/tmp/emagick"}

Example usage

1> {ok, Pdf} = file:read_file("something.pdf").
2> {ok, Png} = emagick:convert(Pdf, pdf, png, [{density, 200}]).
3> ok = file:write_file("something.png", Png).
