# <Magick.pm> - ImageMagick compatibility wrapper for GraphicsMagick

=head1 NAME

Image::Magick - call GraphicsMagick routines with ImageMagick interface

=head1 SYNOPSIS

use Image::Magick

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This Perl wrapper provides GraphicsMagick bindings in the namespace
traditionally used by ImageMagick's PerlMagick extension. It is used
to turn GraphicsMagick into a drop-in replacement for ImageMagick in
Perl scripts. It is recommended that scripts are ported to use
GraphicsMagick natively instead of using this compatibility wrapper.

GraphicsMagick was forked from ImageMagick version 5.5.2, and has since been
developed with an emphasis on interface stability. Therefore, Perl scripts
supporting ImageMagick version 5.5.2 can usually be ported to GraphicsMagick
with little effort.
