> GraphicsMagick Utilities

GraphicsMagick provides a powerful command line utility which may be used to access all GraphicsMagick functions. Gm uses a consistent set of options (see options documentation). GraphicsMagick provides access to major command modes via a single executable command-line program called 'gm'; for example, to use the "convert" mode, type "gm convert ...". The available command modes and links to their documentation are shown in the following table:

GM Command Mode

Description

gm animate

animate a sequence of images

gm composite

gm conjure

gm convert

gm identify

gm import

gm mogrify

gm montage

The gm utility makes it easy to perform complex image processing operations using a single command. It may be invoked from scripts, or from other programs in order to automate the processing of thousands of images.
