tcl-magick

TclMagick [1] is "a Tcl-only interface to the ImageMagick [2] library."

It requires no X server to do its work.

 What: TclMagick
 Where: http://tclmagick.sourceforge.net/ http://www.rolf-schroedter.de/tclMagick/TclMagick.html
 Description: Tcl only interface to the ImageMagick library.
              As this uses IM's new Wand-API, this package is really a
              pre-announcement.  It is expected that IM's Wand-API will move
              from development to release by the end of 200.  At that point,
              it is hoped/expected that this package will be ready for
              release.  This is a one to one mapping of the Wand API to Tcl.
              Currently at version 0.41, which is compatible with Tcl 8.4.5.

Rolf provided this example of using TclMagick as it exists today:

Note - no Tk is required to use this package!

 # Load the tclMagick module
 #
 load TclMagick.dll

 # Create wand & draw objects
 #
 set wand [magick::wand create]
 set draw [magick::draw create]

 # Load & enlarge a PNG
 #
 $wand ReadImage sample.png
 $wand ResizeImage 500 500 cubic
 # Draw a red "Tcl/Tk" rotated by 45<B0>
 #
 $draw push graph
     $draw SetStrokeWidth 1
     $draw SetStrokeColorString "red"
     $draw SetFillColorString "red"
     $draw SetFontSize 18
     $draw Annotation -97 170 "Tcl/Tk"
 $draw pop graph
 $draw Rotate -45

 $wand DrawImage $draw

 # Write the image in different file formats
 #
 $wand WriteImage sample.jpg
 $wand WriteImage sample.gif
 $wand WriteImage sample.pdf

 # Delete wand & draw objects
 #
 magick::draw delete $draw
 magick::wand delete $wand
