The Ch ImageMagick package is a Ch binding to the ImageMagick C library.

Ch ImageMagick enables all functions in the ImageMagick

library for use in Ch. With Ch ImageMagick, these functions

can run in Ch interpretively without compilation.



Ch is an embeddable C/C++ interpreter for cross platform scripting,

2D/3D plotting, numerical computing and embedded scripting.
