ImageMagick

ImageMagick functionality is added by configuring with the plugin

Dragonfly.app.configure do
  plugin :imagemagick
end

Given a model attachment

image = my_model.image

or a Job object created with something like

image = Dragonfly.app.fetch('some/uid')

the ImageMagick plugin provides the following…

Processors

Thumb

Create a thumbnail by resizing/cropping

image.thumb('40x30')

Below are some examples of geometry strings for thumb:

'400x300'         # resize, maintain aspect ratio
'400x300!'        # force resize, don't maintain aspect ratio
'400x'            # resize width, maintain aspect ratio
'x300'            # resize height, maintain aspect ratio
'400x300<'        # resize only if the image is smaller than this
'400x300>'        # resize only if the image is larger than this
'50x50%'          # resize width and height to 50%
'400x300^'        # resize width, height to minimum 400,300, maintain aspect ratio
'2000@'           # resize so max area in pixels is 2000
'400x300#'        # resize, crop if necessary to maintain aspect ratio (centre gravity)
'400x300#ne'      # as above, north-east gravity
'400x300se'       # crop, with south-east gravity
'400x300+50+100'  # crop from the point 50,100 with width, height 400,300

You can optionally specify the output format or specify a single frame/page (e.g. for gifs/pdfs) to work on

image.thumb('40x30', 'format' => 'jpg', 'frame' => 0)

Encode

Change the encoding with

image.encode('tiff')

optionally pass imagemagick arguments

image.encode('jpg', '-quality 10')

Rotate

Rotate a number of degrees with

image.rotate(90)

Analysers

The following methods are provided

image.width               # => 280
image.height              # => 355
image.aspect_ratio        # => 0.788732394366197
image.portrait?           # => true
image.landscape?          # => false
image.format              # => 'png'
image.image?              # => true

Generators

Text

If you have ghostscript installed on your system, you can generate text images with

image = Dragonfly.app.generate(:text, "Hello there")

or with options

image = app.generate(:text, "Hello there",
  'font-size' => 30,                 # defaults to 12
  'font-family' => 'Monaco',
  'stroke-color' => '#ddd',
  'color' => 'red',
  'font-style' => 'italic',
  'font-stretch' => 'expanded',
  'font-weight' => 'bold',
  'padding' => '30 20 10',
  'background-color' => '#efefef',   # defaults to transparent
  'format' => 'gif'                  # defaults to png
)

Note that the text generation options are meant to resemble css as much as possible.

You can use padding-top, padding-left, etc., as well as the standard css shortcuts for padding (it assumes unit is px).

An alternative for font-family is font (see the imagemagick docs), which could be a complete filename. Available fonts are those available on your system.

Plain

A plain coloured image is generated with

image = Dragonfly.app.generate(:plain, 600, 400)

or with options

image = Dragonfly.app.generate(:plain, 600, 400,
  'format' => 'jpg',
  'color' => 'rgba(40,200,30,0.5)'    # any css-style colour should work
)

Plasma

Generate a fractal-like plasma image with

image = Dragonfly.app.generate(:plasma, 600, 400, 'format' => 'gif')

The format is optional (defaults to png).

Extra methods

Identify

The plugin adds an identify method to Job objects and model attachments which simply proxies to the command line and returns the output.

my_model.image.identify
  # ===> "/var/tmp/dragonfly20131109-61051-de35zi.png PNG 1x1 1x1+0+0 8-bit sRGB 1c 266B 0.000u 0:00.000\n"

my_model.image.identify("-verbose")
  # ===> "Image: /var/tmp/dr..."

Configuration

On configure you can specify where to find the imagemagick commands

Dragonfly.app.configure do
  plugin :imagemagick,
    convert_command: "/opt/local/bin/convert",   # defaults to "convert"
    identify_command: "/opt/local/bin/identify"  # defaults to "identify"
end
