magick-rust
A somewhat safe Rust interface to the ImageMagick system, in particular, the MagickWand library. Many of the functions in the MagickWand API are still missing, but over time more will be added. Pull requests are welcome.
Dependencies
- Rust (~latest release)
- Cargo (~latest release)
- ImageMagick (version 7.0.x)
- Clang (version 3.5 or higher)
- Or whatever version is dictated by rust-bindgen
pkg-config
, to facilitate linking with ImageMagick.
Build and Test
Pretty simple for now.
$ cargo build
$ cargo test
Example Usage
MagickWand has some global state that needs to be initialized prior to using the library, but fortunately Rust makes handling this pretty easy. In the example below, we read in an image from a file and resize it to fit a square of 240 by 240 pixels, then convert the image to JPEG.
use magick_rust::{MagickWand, magick_wand_genesis};
use std::sync::{Once, ONCE_INIT};
// Used to make sure MagickWand is initialized exactly once. Note that we
// do not bother shutting down, we simply exit when we're done.
static START: Once = ONCE_INIT;
fn resize() -> Result<Vec<u8>, &'static str> {
START.call_once(|| {
magick_wand_genesis();
});
let wand = MagickWand::new();
try!(wand.read_image("kittens.jpg"));
wand.fit(240, 240);
wand.write_image_blob("jpeg")
}
Writing the image to a file rather than an in-memory blob is done by replacing the call to write_image_blob()
with write_image()
, which takes a string for the path to the file.
Contributing
There are still many missing functions, so if you find there is something you would like to see added to this library, feel free to file an issue. Even better, fork the repo, and write the thin wrapper necessary to expose the MagickWand function. For getters and setters this is often very easy, just add a row to the table in wand/magick.rs
, and it will work with no additional coding. Tests are optional, as this crate is basically a thin wrapper around code that is assumed to be thoroughly tested already. If you make a change that you want to contribute, please feel free to submit a pull request.
Docker
Docker can be used to build and test the code without affecting your development environment, which may have a different version of ImageMagick installed. The use of docker-compose
, as shown in the example below, is optional, but it makes the process very simple.
$ cd docker
$ docker-compose build
$ docker-compose start
$ docker-compose run magick-rust
$ cargo build
$ cargo test
