There is a low level c library of the functions that can be accessed by various scripting languages, as well as from c and c++. See MagickWand, MagickCore, and Magick++. See: http://imagemagick.org/script/api.php for all the different scripting languages that you can use. These are all allow different languages for doing the same basic image manipulations, as the c commandline utilities. See http://imagemagick.org/script/command-line-tools.php for a list of the actual utilities that IM installs. IM is very big, diverse, powerful, and useful. If you want to familiarize yourself, start with the commandline utilities and go thru the examples at http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/ If you like what you see, you can choose your language interface if desired. I like Perl myself, see http://imagemagick.org/script/perl-magick.php You really need to go thru the IM website, and look around, I can't do it justice in a short email.
