# node-imagemagick

**This is an abandoned version. Please see [@yourdeveloper/node-imagemagick](https://github.com/yourdeveloper/node-imagemagick) for the currently maintained version**

[Imagemagick](http://www.imagemagick.org/) module for [Node](http://nodejs.org/).

> Note: This code has been unmaintained for a long time. Please consider using the [gm](https://github.com/aheckmann/gm) module instead.

You can install this module using [npm](http://github.com/isaacs/npm):

    npm install imagemagick

Requires imagemagick CLI tools to be installed. There are numerous ways to install them. For instance, if you're on OS X you can use [Homebrew](http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/): `brew install imagemagick`.

## Example

```javascript
var im = require('imagemagick');
im.readMetadata('kittens.jpg', function(err, metadata){
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log('Shot at '+metadata.exif.dateTimeOriginal);
})
// -> Shot at Tue, 06 Feb 2007 21:13:54 GMT
```

## API

### convert.path

Path to the `convert` program. Defaults to `"convert"`.

### identify.path

Path to the `identify` program. Defaults to `"identify"`.

### identify(path, callback(err, features))

Identify file at `path` and return an object `features`.

Example:

```javascript
im.identify('kittens.jpg', function(err, features){
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(features);
  // { format: 'JPEG', width: 3904, height: 2622, depth: 8 }
});
```

### identify(args, callback(err, output))

Custom identification where `args` is an array of arguments. The result is returned as a raw string to `output`.

Example:

```javascript
im.identify(['-format', '%wx%h', 'kittens.jpg'], function(err, output){
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log('dimension: '+output);
  // dimension: 3904x2622
});
```

### readMetadata(path, callback(err, metadata))

Read metadata (i.e. exif) in `path` and return an object `metadata`. Modelled on top of `identify`.

Example:

```javascript
im.readMetadata('kittens.jpg', function(err, metadata){
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log('Shot at '+metadata.exif.dateTimeOriginal);
  // -> Shot at Tue, 06 Feb 2007 21:13:54 GMT
});
```

### convert(args, callback(err, stdout, stderr))

Raw interface to `convert` passing arguments in the array `args`.

Example:

```javascript
im.convert(['kittens.jpg', '-resize', '25x120', 'kittens-small.jpg'], 
function(err, stdout){
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log('stdout:', stdout);
});
```

### resize(options, callback(err, stdout, stderr))

Convenience function for resizing an image, modelled on top of `convert`.

The `options` argument have the following default values:

```javascript
{
  srcPath: undefined,
  srcData: null,
  srcFormat: null,
  dstPath: undefined,
  quality: 0.8,
  format: 'jpg',
  progressive: false,
  width: 0,
  height: 0,
  strip: true,
  filter: 'Lagrange',
  sharpening: 0.2,
  customArgs: []
}
```

srcPath, dstPath and (at least one of) width and height are required. The rest is optional.

Example:

```javascript
im.resize({
  srcPath: 'kittens.jpg',
  dstPath: 'kittens-small.jpg',
  width:   256
}, function(err, stdout, stderr){
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log('resized kittens.jpg to fit within 256x256px');
});
```

Example with stdin/stdout:

```javascript
var fs = require('fs');
im.resize({
  srcData: fs.readFileSync('kittens.jpg', 'binary'),
  width:   256
}, function(err, stdout, stderr){
  if (err) throw err
  fs.writeFileSync('kittens-resized.jpg', stdout, 'binary');
  console.log('resized kittens.jpg to fit within 256x256px')
});
```

### crop(options, callback) ###
Convenience function for resizing and cropping an image. _crop_ uses the resize method, so _options_ and _callback_ are the same. _crop_ uses _options.srcPath_, so make sure you set it :) Using only _options.width_ or _options.height_ will create a square dimensioned image.  Gravity can also be specified, it defaults to Center.   Available gravity options are [NorthWest, North, NorthEast, West, Center, East, SouthWest, South, SouthEast]

Example:

```javascript
im.crop({
  srcPath: path,
  dstPath: 'cropped.jpg',
  width: 800,
  height: 600,
  quality: 1,
  gravity: "North"
}, function(err, stdout, stderr){
  // foo
});
```
