GraphicsMagick and ImageMagick for node

## Bug Reports

When reporting bugs please include the version of graphicsmagick/imagemagick you're using (gm -version/convert -version) as well as the version of this module and copies of any images you're having problems with.

## Getting started
First download and install [GraphicsMagick](http://www.graphicsmagick.org/) or [ImageMagick](http://www.imagemagick.org/). In Mac OS X, you can simply use [Homebrew](http://mxcl.github.io/homebrew/) and do:

    brew install imagemagick
    brew install graphicsmagick

If you want WebP support with ImageMagick, you must add the WebP option:

    brew install imagemagick --with-webp

then either use npm:

    npm install gm

or clone the repo:

    git clone git://github.com/aheckmann/gm.git


## Use ImageMagick instead of gm

Subclass `gm` to enable ImageMagick

```js
var fs = require('fs')
  , gm = require('gm').subClass({imageMagick: true});

// resize and remove EXIF profile data
gm('/path/to/my/img.jpg')
.resize(240, 240)
...
```


## Basic Usage

```js
var fs = require('fs')
  , gm = require('gm');

// resize and remove EXIF profile data
gm('/path/to/my/img.jpg')
.resize(240, 240)
.noProfile()
.write('/path/to/resize.png', function (err) {
  if (!err) console.log('done');
});

// some files would not be resized appropriately
// http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5870466/imagemagick-incorrect-dimensions
// you have two options:
// use the '!' flag to ignore aspect ratio
gm('/path/to/my/img.jpg')
.resize(240, 240, '!')
.write('/path/to/resize.png', function (err) {
  if (!err) console.log('done');
});

// use the .resizeExact with only width and/or height arguments
gm('/path/to/my/img.jpg')
.resizeExact(240, 240)
.write('/path/to/resize.png', function (err) {
  if (!err) console.log('done');
});

// obtain the size of an image
gm('/path/to/my/img.jpg')
.size(function (err, size) {
  if (!err)
    console.log(size.width > size.height ? 'wider' : 'taller than you');
});

// output all available image properties
gm('/path/to/img.png')
.identify(function (err, data) {
  if (!err) console.log(data)
});

// pull out the first frame of an animated gif and save as png
gm('/path/to/animated.gif[0]')
.write('/path/to/firstframe.png', function (err) {
  if (err) console.log('aaw, shucks');
});

// auto-orient an image
gm('/path/to/img.jpg')
.autoOrient()
.write('/path/to/oriented.jpg', function (err) {
  if (err) ...
})

// crazytown
gm('/path/to/my/img.jpg')
.flip()
.magnify()
.rotate('green', 45)
.blur(7, 3)
.crop(300, 300, 150, 130)
.edge(3)
.write('/path/to/crazy.jpg', function (err) {
  if (!err) console.log('crazytown has arrived');
})

// annotate an image
gm('/path/to/my/img.jpg')
.stroke("#ffffff")
.drawCircle(10, 10, 20, 10)
.font("Helvetica.ttf", 12)
.drawText(30, 20, "GMagick!")
.write("/path/to/drawing.png", function (err) {
  if (!err) console.log('done');
});

// creating an image
gm(200, 400, "#ddff99f3")
.drawText(10, 50, "from scratch")
.write("/path/to/brandNewImg.jpg", function (err) {
  // ...
});
```

## Streams

```js
// passing a stream
var readStream = fs.createReadStream('/path/to/my/img.jpg');
gm(readStream, 'img.jpg')
.write('/path/to/reformat.png', function (err) {
  if (!err) console.log('done');
});


// passing a downloadable image by url

var request = require('request');
var url = "www.abc.com/pic.jpg"

gm(request(url))
.write('/path/to/reformat.png', function (err) {
  if (!err) console.log('done');
});


// can also stream output to a ReadableStream
// (can be piped to a local file or remote server)
gm('/path/to/my/img.jpg')
.resize('200', '200')
.stream(function (err, stdout, stderr) {
  var writeStream = fs.createWriteStream('/path/to/my/resized.jpg');
  stdout.pipe(writeStream);
});

// without a callback, .stream() returns a stream
// this is just a convenience wrapper for above.
var writeStream = fs.createWriteStream('/path/to/my/resized.jpg');
gm('/path/to/my/img.jpg')
.resize('200', '200')
.stream()
.pipe(writeStream);

// pass a format or filename to stream() and
// gm will provide image data in that format
gm('/path/to/my/img.jpg')
.stream('png', function (err, stdout, stderr) {
  var writeStream = fs.createWriteStream('/path/to/my/reformatted.png');
  stdout.pipe(writeStream);
});

// or without the callback
var writeStream = fs.createWriteStream('/path/to/my/reformatted.png');
gm('/path/to/my/img.jpg')
.stream('png')
.pipe(writeStream);

// combine the two for true streaming image processing
var readStream = fs.createReadStream('/path/to/my/img.jpg');
gm(readStream)
.resize('200', '200')
.stream(function (err, stdout, stderr) {
  var writeStream = fs.createWriteStream('/path/to/my/resized.jpg');
  stdout.pipe(writeStream);
});

// GOTCHA:
// when working with input streams and any 'identify'
// operation (size, format, etc), you must pass "{bufferStream: true}" if
// you also need to convert (write() or stream()) the image afterwards
// NOTE: this buffers the readStream in memory!
var readStream = fs.createReadStream('/path/to/my/img.jpg');
gm(readStream)
.size({bufferStream: true}, function(err, size) {
  this.resize(size.width / 2, size.height / 2)
  this.write('/path/to/resized.jpg', function (err) {
    if (!err) console.log('done');
  });
});

```

## Buffers

```js
// A buffer can be passed instead of a filepath as well
var buf = require('fs').readFileSync('/path/to/image.jpg');

gm(buf, 'image.jpg')
.noise('laplacian')
.write('/path/to/out.jpg', function (err) {
  if (err) return handle(err);
  console.log('Created an image from a Buffer!');
});

/*
A buffer can also be returned instead of a stream
The first argument to toBuffer is optional, it specifies the image format
*/
gm('img.jpg')
.resize(100, 100)
.toBuffer('PNG',function (err, buffer) {
  if (err) return handle(err);
  console.log('done!');
})
```

## Custom Arguments

If `gm` does not supply you with a method you need or does not work as you'd like, you can simply use `gm().in()` or `gm().out()` to set your own arguments.

- `gm().command()` - Custom command such as `identify` or `convert`
- `gm().in()` - Custom input arguments
- `gm().out()` - Custom output arguments

The command will be formatted in the following order:

1. `command` - ie `convert`
2. `in` - the input arguments
3. `source` - stdin or an image file
4. `out` - the output arguments
5. `output` - stdout or the image file to write to

For example, suppose you want the following command:

```bash
gm "convert" "label:Offline" "PNG:-"
```

However, using `gm().label()` may not work as intended for you:

```js
gm()
.label('Offline')
.stream();
```

would yield:

```bash
gm "convert" "-label" "\"Offline\"" "PNG:-"
```

Instead, you can use `gm().out()`:

```js
gm()
.out('label:Offline')
.stream();
```

which correctly yields:

```bash
gm "convert" "label:Offline" "PNG:-"
```

### Custom Identify Format String

When identifying an image, you may want to use a custom formatting string instead of using `-verbose`, which is quite slow.
You can use your own [formatting string](http://www.imagemagick.org/script/escape.php) when using `gm().identify(format, callback)`.
For example,

```js
gm('img.png').format(function (err, format) {

})

// is equivalent to

gm('img.png').identify('%m', function (err, format) {

})
```

since `%m` is the format option for getting the image file format.

## Platform differences

Please document and refer to any [platform or ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick issues/differences here](https://github.com/aheckmann/gm/wiki/GraphicsMagick-and-ImageMagick-versions).

## Examples:

  Check out the [examples](http://github.com/aheckmann/gm/tree/master/examples/) directory to play around.
  Also take a look at the [extending gm](http://wiki.github.com/aheckmann/gm/extending-gm)
  page to see how to customize gm to your own needs.

## Constructor:

  There are a few ways you can use the `gm` image constructor.

  - 1) `gm(path)` When you pass a string as the first argument it is interpreted as the path to an image you intend to manipulate.
  - 2) `gm(stream || buffer, [filename])` You may also pass a ReadableStream or Buffer as the first argument, with an optional file name for format inference.
  - 3) `gm(width, height, [color])` When you pass two integer arguments, gm will create a new image on the fly with the provided dimensions and an optional background color. And you can still chain just like you do with pre-existing images too. See [here](http://github.com/aheckmann/gm/blob/master/examples/new.js) for an example.

The links below refer to an older version of gm but everything should still work, if anyone feels like updating them please make a PR

  - image output
    - **write** - writes the processed image data to the specified filename
    - **stream** - provides a `ReadableStream` with the processed image data
    - **toBuffer** - returns the image as a `Buffer` instead of a stream

##compare

Graphicsmagicks `compare` command is exposed through `gm.compare()`. This allows us to determine if two images can be considered "equal".

Currently `gm.compare` only accepts file paths.

    gm.compare(path1, path2 [, options], callback)

```js
gm.compare('/path/to/image1.jpg', '/path/to/another.png', function (err, isEqual, equality, raw, path1, path2) {
  if (err) return handle(err);

  // if the images were considered equal, `isEqual` will be true, otherwise, false.
  console.log('The images were equal: %s', isEqual);

  // to see the total equality returned by graphicsmagick we can inspect the `equality` argument.
  console.log('Actual equality: %d', equality);

  // inspect the raw output
  console.log(raw);

  // print file paths
  console.log(path1, path2);
})
```

You may wish to pass a custom tolerance threshold to increase or decrease the default level of `0.4`.


```js
gm.compare('/path/to/image1.jpg', '/path/to/another.png', 1.2, function (err, isEqual) {
  ...
})
```

To output a diff image, pass a configuration object to define the diff options and tolerance.


```js
var options = {
  file: '/path/to/diff.png',
  highlightColor: 'yellow',
  tolerance: 0.02
}
gm.compare('/path/to/image1.jpg', '/path/to/another.png', options, function (err, isEqual, equality, raw) {
  ...
})
```

##composite

GraphicsMagick supports compositing one image on top of another. This is exposed through `gm.composite()`. Its first argument is an image path with the changes to the base image, and an optional mask image.

Currently, `gm.composite()` only accepts file paths.

    gm.composite(other [, mask])

```js
gm('/path/to/image.jpg')
.composite('/path/to/second_image.jpg')
.geometry('+100+150')
.write('/path/to/composite.png', function(err) {
    if(!err) console.log("Written composite image.");
});
```

##montage

GraphicsMagick supports montage for combining images side by side. This is exposed through `gm.montage()`. Its only argument is an image path with the changes to the base image.

Currently, `gm.montage()` only accepts file paths.

    gm.montage(other)

```js
gm('/path/to/image.jpg')
.montage('/path/to/second_image.jpg')
.geometry('+100+150')
.write('/path/to/montage.png', function(err) {
    if(!err) console.log("Written montage image.");
});
```
