# MagickWand

[![Actions
Status](https://github.com/azawawi/raku-magickwand/workflows/test/badge.svg)](https://github.com/azawawi/raku-magickwand/actions)

This provides a Raku object-oriented [NativeCall](http://docs.raku.org/language/nativecall)-based API for ImageMagick's
[MagickWand C API](http://www.imagemagick.org/script/magick-wand.php).

## Example

```Raku
use v6;
use MagickWand;

# A new magic wand
my $wand = MagickWand.new;

# Read an image
$wand.read("examples/images/aero1.jpg");

# Lighten dark areas
$wand.auto-gamma;

# And then write a new image
$wand.write("output.png");

# And cleanup on exit
LEAVE {
$wand.cleanup if $wand.defined;
}
```

For more examples, please see the [examples](examples) folder.
For examples of available image effects, please click
