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"
    debug:       optional. 1 or 0
}

{
    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 
}

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
    }
]
