Some coder modules support more than one associated image format and the mapping between an associated format and its respective coder module is defined in this configuration file. For example, the PNG coder module not only supports the PNG image format, but the JNG and MNG formats as well. 97 </dd> 98 99<dt class="col-md-4"><a href="https://imagemagick.org/source/colors.xml">colors.xml</a></dt> 100 <dd class="col-md-8">Associate a color name with its red, green, blue, and alpha intensities. 101 102 A number of command line options require a <a href="../www/color.html">color parameter</a>. It is often convenient to refer to a color by name (e.g. white) rather than by hex value (e.g. #fff). This file maps a color name to its equivalent red, green, blue, and alpha intensities (e.g. for white, red = 255, green = 255, blue = 255, and alpha = 0). 103 </dd> 104 105<dt class="col-md-4"><a class="anchor" id="configure.xml"/><a href="https://imagemagick.org/source/configure.xml">configure.xml</a></dt> 106 <dd class="col-md-8">Set ImageMagick build parameters and system-wide environment variables (e.g. MAGICK_TEMPORARY_PATH). 107 As ImageMagick is built, a number of build parameters are saved to this configuration file.

Tags are short descriptions of a message such as 126 <var>FileNotFound</var> or <var>MemoryAllocationFailed</var>. This configuration file lists locales that have a translation for each tag recognized by ImageMagick. Currently only English and French translations are available in the <code>english.xml</code> and <code>francais.xml</code> configuration files. 127 </dd> 128 129<dt class="col-md-4"><a href="https://imagemagick.org/source/log.xml">log.xml</a></dt> 130 <dd class="col-md-8">Configure logging parameters. 131 ImageMagick is capable of spewing copious amounts of informational or debugging statements.

For example, files in the "Corel Draw 138drawing" format (mime type="application/vnd.corel-draw") are associated with 139the filename pattern <code>*.cdr</code>, and also have an initial string of the 140characters "CDRXvrsn". ImageMagick uses combinations of this information, 141when available, to attempt to quickly determine the internet media type of a 142file or data stream. 143</dd> 144 145<dt class="col-md-4"><a href="https://imagemagick.org/source/policy.xml">policy.xml</a></dt> 146 <dd class="col-md-8">Configure ImageMagick policies. 147 By default any coder, delegate, filter, or file path is permitted. Use a policy to deny access to, for example, the MPEG video delegate, or permit reading images from a file system but deny writing to that same file system. Or use the resource policy to set resource limits. Policies are useful for multi-user servers that want to limit the overall impact ImageMagick has on the system. For example, to limit the maximum image size in memory to 100MP: 148 149<pre class="highlight"><code><policy domain="resource" name="area" value="100MP"/></code></pre> 150 151Any image larger than this area limit is cached to disk rather than memory. 152 153Use <code>width</code> to limit the maximum width of an image in pixels. Exceed this limit and an exception is thrown and processing stops. 154 155<pre class="highlight"><code><policy domain="resource" name="width" value="8KP"/></code></pre> 156 157To limit the elapsed time of any ImageMagick command to 5 minutes, use this policy: 158 159<pre class="highlight"><code><policy domain="resource" name="time" value="300"/></code></pre> 160Define arguments for the memory, map, and disk resources with SI prefixes (.e.g 100MB). In addition, resource policies are maximums for each instance of ImageMagick (e.g. policy memory limit 1GB, the <code>-limit 2GB</code> option exceeds policy maximum so memory limit is 1GB). </dd> 161 162<dt class="col-md-4"><a href="https://imagemagick.org/source/quantization-table.xml">quantization-table.xml</a></dt> 163 <dd class="col-md-8">Custom JPEG quantization tables.
