# Homebrew ImageMagick with X11 support
This is a macOS [Homebrew](https://brew.sh) [tap](https://docs.brew.sh/Taps) for ImageMagick with X11 support.
It tracks the upstream ImageMagick formula and enables the following:
- X11 support
- Graphviz support
Updated on a [weekly](.github/workflows/weekly-update.yml) basis thanks to [Github Actions](https://github.com/features/actions).
## How do I install this?
```
brew uninstall imagemagick # without X11 support
brew install --cask xquartz
brew install tlk/imagemagick-x11/imagemagick
```
## Verify that it works
```
display wizard:
display myfile.jpg
```
## Graphviz support
Note that ImageMagick has support for [graphviz DOT-files](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOT_(graph_description_language)) if the `--with-graphviz` option is used during install:
```
brew uninstall imagemagick
brew install tlk/imagemagick-x11/imagemagick --with-graphviz
display mygraph.dot
convert mygraph.dot mygraph.png
```

## Updated every week
The formula is updated weekly which means that Homebrew will automatically build and install the latest version.
