Deno 2.2 Improves Dependency Management and Expands Node.js Compatibility
Deno 2.2 enhances Node.js compatibility, improves dependency management, adds OpenTelemetry support, and expands linting and task automation for developers.
= MiniMagick
A ruby wrapper for ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick command line.
Tested on both Ruby 1.9.2 and Ruby 1.8.7.
== Why?
I was using RMagick and loving it, but it was eating up huge amounts of memory. A simple script like this...
Magick::read("image.jpg") do |f| f.write("manipulated.jpg") end
...would use over 100 Megs of Ram. On my local machine this wasn't a problem, but on my hosting server the ruby apps would crash because of their 100 Meg memory limit.
== Solution!
Using MiniMagick the ruby processes memory remains small (it spawns ImageMagick's command line program mogrify which takes up some memory as well, but is much smaller compared to RMagick)
MiniMagick gives you access to all the commandline options ImageMagick has (Found here http://www.imagemagick.org/script/mogrify.php)
== Examples
Want to make a thumbnail from a file...
image = MiniMagick::Image.from_file("input.jpg") image.resize "100x100" image.write("output.jpg")
Want to make a thumbnail from a blob...
image = MiniMagick::Image.from_blob(blob) image.resize "100x100" image.write("output.jpg")
Need to combine several options?
image = MiniMagick::Image.from_file("input.jpg") image.combine_options do |c| c.sample "50%" c.rotate "-90>" end image.write("output.jpg")
Want to manipulate an image at its source (You won't have to write it out because the transformations are done on that file)
image = MiniMagick::Image.new("input.jpg") image.resize "100x100"
Want to get some meta-information out?
image = MiniMagick::Image.from_file("input.jpg") image[:width] # will get the width (you can also use :height and :format) image["EXIF:BitsPerSample"] # It also can get all the EXIF tags image["%m:%f %wx%h"] # Or you can use one of the many options of the format command
For more on the format command see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-options.php#format
== Requirements
You must have ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick installed.
