        "OVERVIEW": {
            "content": "Use ImageMagick® to create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap images. It can  read  and  write\nimages  in  a  variety  of formats (over 200) including PNG, JPEG, GIF, HEIC, TIFF, DPX, EXR,\nWebP, Postscript, PDF, and SVG. Use ImageMagick to resize,  flip,  mirror,  rotate,  distort,\nshear and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or draw text,\nlines, polygons, ellipses and B\\['e]zier curves.\n\nThe  functionality  of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command-line or you can use\nthe features from programs written in your favorite language. Choose from  these  interfaces:\nG2F  (Ada), MagickCore (C), MagickWand (C), ChMagick (Ch), ImageMagickObject (COM+), Magick++\n(C++), JMagick (Java), JuliaIO (Julia), L-Magick (Lisp), Lua (LuaJIT),  NMagick  (Neko/haXe),\nMagick.NET  (.NET), PascalMagick (Pascal), PerlMagick (Perl), MagickWand for PHP (PHP), IMag‐\nick (PHP), PythonMagick (Python), magick (R), RMagick (Ruby), or TclMagick (Tcl/TK).  With  a\nlanguage interface, use ImageMagick to modify or create images dynamically and automagically.\n\nImageMagick  utilizes  multiple  computational  threads to increase performance and can read,\nprocess, or write mega-, giga-, or tera-pixel image sizes.\n\nImageMagick is free software delivered as a ready-to-run binary  distribution  or  as  source\ncode  that  you  may  use, copy, modify, and distribute in both open and proprietary applica‐\ntions. It is distributed under a derived Apache 2.0 license.\n\nThe ImageMagick development process ensures a stable API and ABI. Before each ImageMagick re‐\nlease, we perform a comprehensive security assessment that includes memory error, thread data\nrace detection, and continuous fuzzing to help prevent security vulnerabilities.\n\nThe current release is ImageMagick 6.9.10-11. It runs on Linux, Windows, Mac Os X,  iOS,  An‐\ndroid OS, and others.\n\nThe  authoritative  ImageMagick version 6 web site is https://legacy.imagemagick.org. The au‐\nthoritative source code repository is https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick6.  We  main‐\ntain a source code mirror at https://gitlab.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick6.\n\nThe  design of ImageMagick is an evolutionary process, with the design and implementation ef‐\nforts serving to influence and guide further progress in the other. With ImageMagick  version\n7 we aim to improve the design based on lessons learned from the version 6 implementation.\n\nIn  the  paragraphs  below, find a short description for each command-line tool.Cl ick on the\nprogram name to get details on the program usage and a list of comman d-line options that al‐\nters how the program performs. If you are just getting acq uainted with ImageMagick, start at\nthe top of the list, the convert program, and\nwork your way down. Also be sure to peruse Anthony Thyssen's tutorial on how to\nuse ImageMagick utilities to convert, compose, or edit images from the command- line.\n",
