[SOLVED] Why doesn't imagemagick work off the command line?

Hi

I want to do some experimentation with ImageMagick.

Pacman says it is installed and I can find various dirs called ImageMagick, but I can't find an actual binary to run commands against.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks

There are different binarys for the different "jobs".
You can read the man-pages to find out what "job" each binary can do.
To resize a image you have to use /usr/bin/convert for example.

"pacman -Ql imagemagick | grep bin" lists the binarys installed with imagemagick

$ pacman -Ql imagemagick | grep bin
imagemagick /usr/bin/Magick++-config
imagemagick /usr/bin/Magick-config
imagemagick /usr/bin/Wand-config
imagemagick /usr/bin/animate
imagemagick /usr/bin/compare
imagemagick /usr/bin/composite
imagemagick /usr/bin/conjure
imagemagick /usr/bin/convert
imagemagick /usr/bin/display
imagemagick /usr/bin/identify
imagemagick /usr/bin/import
imagemagick /usr/bin/mogrify
imagemagick /usr/bin/montage
imagemagick /usr/bin/stream
