Details

GraphicsMagick is the swiss army knife of image processing. Comprised of 282K physical lines (according to David A. Wheeler's SLOCCount) of source code in the base package (or 964K including 3rd party libraries) it provides a robust and efficient collection of tools and libraries which support reading, writing, and manipulating an image in over 88 major formats including important formats like DPX, GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG, PDF, PNM, and TIFF. This function downloads Win32 dynamic at 16 bits-per-pixel.
