node-imagemagick-native

Imagemagick's Magick++ binding for Node.

Example

var imagemagick = require('imagemagick-native')
,   srcData     = require('fs').readFileSync('./test/test.png');

// returns a Buffer instance
var resizedBuffer = imagemagick.convert({
    srcData: srcData, // provide a Buffer instance
    width: 100,
    height: 100,
    resizeStyle: "aspectfill",
    quality: 80,
    format: 'JPEG'
});

require('fs').writeFileSync('./test/out.png', resizedBuffer, 'binary');

API

convert( options )

Convert a buffer provided as options.srcData and return a Buffer.

The options argument can have following values:

{
    srcData:     required. Buffer with binary image data
    quality:     optional. 0-100 integer, default 75. JPEG/MIFF/PNG compression level.
    width:       optional. px.
    height:      optional. px.
    resizeStyle: optional. default: "aspectfill". can be "aspectfit", "fill"
                 aspectfill: keep aspect ratio, get the exact provided size,
                             crop top/bottom or left/right if necessary
                 aspectfit:  keep aspect ratio, get maximum image that fits inside provided size
                 fill:       forget aspect ratio, get the exact provided size
    format:      optional. one of http://www.imagemagick.org/script/formats.php ex: "JPEG"
    rotate:      optional. degrees.
    debug:       optional. 1 or 0
}

identify( options )

Identify a buffer provided as srcData and return an object.

The options argument can have following values:

{
    srcData:     required. Buffer with binary image data
    debug:       optional. 1 or 0
}

The method returns an object similar to:

{
    format: 'JPEG',
    width: 3904,
    height: 2622,
    depth: 8,
    exif: {
        orientation: 0 # 0 if none exists
    }
}

quantizeColors( options )

Quantize the image to a specified amount of colors from a buffer provided as srcData and return an array.

The options argument can have following values:

{
    srcData:     required. Buffer with binary image data
    colors:      required. number of colors to extract, defaults to 5
    debug:       optional. 1 or 0
}

The method returns an array similar to:

[
    {
        r: 83,
        g: 56,
        b: 35,
        hex: '533823'
    },
    {
        r: 149,
        g: 110,
        b: 73,
        hex: '956e49'
    },
    {
        r: 165,
        g: 141,
        b: 111,
        hex: 'a58d6f
    }
]

composite( options )

Composite a buffer provided as options.compositeData on a buffer provided as options.srcData with gravity specified by options.gravity and return a Buffer.

The options argument can have following values:

{
    srcData:       required. Buffer with binary image data
    compositeData: required. Buffer with binary image data
    gravity:       optional. Can be one of "CenterGravity" "EastGravity" "ForgetGravity" "NorthEastGravity" "NorthGravity" "NorthWestGravity" "SouthEastGravity" "SouthGravity" "SouthWestGravity" "WestGravity"
    debug:         optional. 1 or 0
}

Installation

Linux / Mac

Install Imagemagick with headers before installing this module. Tested with ImageMagick 6.7.7 on CentOS6 and MacOS10.7, Ubuntu12.04 .

MacOS10.9 Maverick users need ImageMagick linked to libstdc++ .
see issue#17

# bottle for mountain lion is linked to libstdc++
wget "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/machomebrew/Bottles/imagemagick-6.8.7-7.mountain_lion.bottle.tar.gz"
brew install imagemagick-6.8.7-7.mountain_lion.bottle.tar.gz

Otherwise:

brew install imagemagick

  or

sudo yum install ImageMagick-c++ ImageMagick-c++-devel

  or

sudo apt-get install libmagick++-dev

Make sure you can find Magick++-config in your PATH. Then:

npm install imagemagick-native

Windows

Tested on Windows 7 x64.

1. Install Python 2.7.3 only 2.7.3 nothing else works quite right!

   If you use Cygwin ensure you don't have Python installed in Cygwin setup as there will be some confusion about what version to use.

2. Install Visual Studio C++ 2010 Express

3. (64-bit only) Install Windows 7 64-bit SDK

4. Install Imagemagick dll binary x86 Q16 or Imagemagick dll binary x64 Q16, check for libraries and includes during install.

Then:

npm install imagemagick-native

Performance - simple thumbnail creation

imagemagick:       16.09ms per iteration
imagemagick-native: 0.89ms per iteration

See node test/benchmark.js for details.
