The cost of actually copying an 66 image (if necessary) is done just before modification and this copy 67 is managed automagically by Magick++. De-referenced copies are 68 automagically deleted. The image objects support value (rather than 69 pointer) semantics so it is trivial to support multiple generations 70 of an image in memory at one time. 71 </p> 72 <p>Magick++ provides integrated support for the <a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/">Standard 73 Template Library</a> (STL) so that the powerful containers available 74 (e.g. <a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/Deque.html">deque</a>, 75 <a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/Vector.html">vector</a>, <a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/List.html">list</a>, 76 and <a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/Map.html">map</a>) can 77 be used to write programs similar to those possible with PERL & 78 PerlMagick. STL-compatible template versions of ImageMagick's 79 list-style operations are provided so that operations may be 80 performed on multiple images stored in STL containers. 81 </p> 82 <h2 class="magick-header">Documentation</h2> 83 <a id="documentation"></a> 84 <p>Detailed <a href="api/magick++-classes.html">documentation</a> is 85 provided for all Magick++ classes, class methods, and template 86 functions which comprise the API. See a <a href="../Magick++/tutorial/Magick++_tutorial.pdf"> Gentle Introduction to Magick++</a> for an introductory tutorial to Magick++.

For example, the 103 following command compiles and links the source file <code>demo.cpp</code> 104 to produce the executable <code>demo</code> (notice that quotes are 105 backward quotes): 106 </p> 107 <pre> 108 c++ `Magick++-config --cxxflags --cppflags` -O2 -o demo demo.cpp \ 109 `Magick++-config --ldflags --libs` 110 </pre> 111 <p>Set the <code>PKG_CONFIG_PATH</code> environment variable if ImageMagick is not in your default system path:</p> 112 113 <pre> 114 export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig 115 </pre> 116 117 <p>Windows users may get started by manually editing a project file 118 for one of the Magick++ demo programs. 119 </p> 120 <p>Note, under Windows (and possibly the Mac) it may be necessary to initialize the ImageMagick library prior to using the Magick++ library. This initialization is performed by passing the path to the ImageMagick DLLs (assumed to be in the same directory as your program) to the InitializeMagick() function call. This is commonly performed by providing the path to your program (argv[0]) as shown in the following example: </p> 121 <pre> 122 int main( int argc, char ** argv) { 123 InitializeMagick(*argv); 124 ... 125 </pre> 126 <p>This initialization step is not required under Unix, Linux, 127 Cygwin, or any other operating environment that supports the notion 128 of <var>installing</var> ImageMagick in a known location. </p> 129 <p>Here is a example program that utilizes the Magick++ API to get you started, <a href="../source/magick++.cpp">magick++.cpp</a>. It reads an image, crops it, and writes it to disk in the PNG image format.</p> 130 131 <pre class="pre-scrollable"> 132 #include <Magick++.h> 133 #include <iostream> 134 135 using namespace std; 136 using namespace Magick; 137 138 int main(int argc,char **argv) 139 { 140 InitializeMagick(*argv); 141 142 // Construct the image object.
