Imagemagick6

Image processing tools (legacy version)

ImageMagick is a package for display and interactive manipulation of images. The package includes tools for image conversion, annotation, compositing, animation, and creating montages. ImageMagick can read and write many of the more popular image formats e.g. JPEG, TIFF, PNM, XPM, Photo CD, etc..

The package can be built without the GUI X11 support at all – it will not have the display, import, and animate functionality, but remain extremely useful for image manipulation.

The optional “display” utility conflicts with the utility of the same name from the misc/display port/package.

While ImageMagick 6 is labeled by upstream as “legacy”, this means that it will only receive bug fixes. New features will only be added in ImageMagick 7.

There is currently no plan of stopping support for ImageMagick 6 upstream.
