Hi
I am trying to make a web based service that need to modify images.
Looks like ImageMagick is the right tool for it. It even has a Lisp
binding to its API but the binding looks abandoned (also it has
hardcoded paths for the linux shared libraries, no examples also). I
need to try it first on Windows/CLisp, would be great to have some
examples to start.
Did anyone have an experience with ImageMagic using Lisp bindings?
Other option is to use it as a command line tool from the lisp process,
is it a viable option?
Thank you,
Andrei

IM rocks. I and a co-developer independently had problems we could not
sort out, for the heck of it tried its clone GraphicsMagick and we are
back in business. Same API.

My Cello project on common-lisp.net has IM/GM bindings, but to be honest
I have a lot of them commented out and bring them in only as I need
them. You might have to roll your sleaves up a little bit here and
there, but I would help.

Under the Cello project is a cl-magick subdirectory from which you could
borrow code, but it is more than you need since I am also using
OpenGL... i do not think you need examples, IM/GM is a great, easy to
use library, especially now with the "wand" API.

Yes. :)
