Assignments, in most cases, reduce the complexity of an expression and permit some operations that might not be possible any other way. For example, lets create a radial gradient:</p> 128 129<pre class="highlight"><code>convert -size 70x70 canvas: \ 130 -fx "Xi=i-w/2; Yj=j-h/2; 1.2*(0.5-hypot(Xi,Yj)/70.0)+0.5" 131 radial-gradient.png'

Refer to a particular image in a sequence by appending its index to any image reference (usually <code>u</code>), with a zero index for the beginning of the sequence. A negative index counts from the end. For example, <code>u[0]</code> is the first image in the sequence, <code>u[2]</code> is the third, <code>u[-1]</code> is the last image, and <code>u[t]</code> is the current image. The current image can also be referenced by <code>s</code>. If the sequence number exceeds the length of the sequence, the count is wrapped. Thus in a 3-image sequence, <code>u[-1]</code>, <code>u[2]</code>, and <code>u[5]</code> all refer to the same (third) image.</p> 349 350<p>As an example, we form an image by averaging the first image and third images (the second (index 1) image is ignored and just junked):</p> 351 352<pre class="highlight"><code>convert image1.jpg image2.jpg image3.jpg -fx "(u+u[2])/2.0" image.jpg 353</code></pre> 354 355<p>By default, the image to which <code>p</code>, <code>r</code>, <code>g</code>, <code>b</code>, <code>a</code>, etc., are applied is the current image <code>s</code> in the image list. This is equivalent to <code>u</code> except when used in an escape sequence <code>%[fx:...]</code>. </p> 356 357<p>It is important to note the special role played by the first image. This is the only image in the image sequence that is modified, other images are used only for their data. As an illustrative example, consider the following, and note that the setting <a href="../www/command-line-options.html#channel">-channel red</a> instructs <a href="../www/command-line-options.html#fx">-fx</a> to modify only the red channel; nothing in the green or blue channels will change. It is instructive to ponder why the result is not symmetric.</p> 358 359<pre class="highlight"><code>convert -channel red logo: -flop logo: -resize "20%" -fx "(u+v)/2" image.jpg 360</code></pre> 361 362<ul> 363 <a href="../images/logo-sm-flop.png"><img src="../images/logo-sm-flop.png" width="128" height="96" alt="logo-sm-flop.png" /></a> 364 <a href="../images/logo-sm.png"><img src="../images/logo-sm.png" width="128" height="96" alt="logo-sm.png" /></a> 365<img style="margin-top:38px; margin-bottom:38px;" src="../images/right.gif" width="20" height="20" alt="==>" /> 366 <a href="../images/logo-sm-fx.png"><img src="../images/logo-sm-fx.png" width="128" height="96" alt="logo-sm-fx.png" /></a> 367</ul> 368 369<br/> 370<h3>Accessing Pixels</h3> 371 372<p>All color values are normalized to the range of 0.0 to 1.0. The alpha channel ranges from 0.0 (fully transparent) to 1.0 (fully opaque).</p> 373 374<p>The pixels are processed one at a time, but a different pixel of an image can be specified using a pixel index represented by <code>p</code>. For example,</p> 375 376<pre class="highlight"><code>p[-1].g green value of pixel to the immediate left of the current pixel 377p[-1,-1].r red value of the pixel diagonally left and up from current pixel 378</code></pre> 379 380<p>To specify an absolute position, use braces, rather than brackets.</p> 381 382<pre class="highlight"><code>p{0,0}.r red value of the pixel in the upper left corner of the image 383p{12,34}.b blue pixel value at column number 12, row 34 of the image 384</code></pre> 385 386<p>Integer values of the position retrieve the color of the pixel referenced, while non-integer position values return a blended color according to the current <a href="../www/command-line-options.html#interpolate">-interpolate</a> setting.</p> 387 388<p>A position outside the boundary of the image retrieves a value dictated by the <a href="../www/command-line-options.html#virtual-pixel">-virtual-pixel</a> option setting.</p> 389 390<h3>Apply an Expression to Select Image Channels</h3> 391 392<p>Use the <a href="../www/command-line-options.html#channel">-channel</a> setting to specify the output channel of the result. If no output channel is given, the result is set over all channels except the opacity channel. For example, to replace the red channel of <code>alpha.png</code> with the average of the green channels from the images <code>alpha.png</code> and <code>beta.png</code>, use:</p> 393 394<pre class="highlight"><code>convert alpha.png beta.png -channel red -fx "(u.g+v.g)/2" gamma.png 395</code></pre> 396 397 398<h3>Results</h3> 399 400<p>The <a href="../www/command-line-options.html#fx">-fx</a> operator evaluates the given expression for each channel (set by <a href="../www/command-line-options.html#channel">-channel</a>) of each pixel in the first image (<code>u</code>) in the sequence. The computed values are temporarily stored in a copy (clone) of that first image until all the pixels have been processed, after which this single new image replaces the list of images in the current image sequence. As such, in the previous example the updated version of <code>alpha.png</code> replaces both of the original images, <code>alpha.png</code> and <code>beta.png</code>, before being saved as <code>gamma.png</code>.</p> 401 402<p>The current image <code>s</code> is set to the first image in the sequence (<code>u</code>), and <code>t</code> to its index, 0. The symbols <code>i</code> and <code>j</code> reference the current pixel being processed.</p> 403 404 405<p>For use with <a href="../www/command-line-options.html#format_identify_">-format</a>, the value-escape <code>%[fx:]</code> is evaluated just once for each image in the current image sequence. As each image in the sequence is being evaluated, <code>s</code> and <code>t</code> successively refer to the current image and its index, while <code>i</code> and <code>j</code> are set to zero, and the current channel set to red (<a href="../www/command-line-options.html#channel">-channel</a> is ignored). An example:</p> 406 407<pre class="highlight"><code>$ convert canvas:'rgb(25%,50%,75%)' rose: -colorspace rgb \ 408 -format 'Red channel of NW corner of image #%[fx:t] is %[fx:s]' info: 409Red channel of NW corner of image #0 is 0.453758 410Red channel of NW corner of image #1 is 0.184588 411</code></pre> 412 413<p>Here we use the image indexes to <var>rotate</var> each image differently, and use <code>-set</code> with the image index to set a different <var>pause delay</var> on the first image in the animation:</p> 414 415<pre class="highlight"><code>convert rose: -duplicate 29 -virtual-pixel Gray -distort SRT '%[fx:360.0*t/n]' \ 416 -set delay '%[fx:t == 0 ? 240 : 10]' -loop 0 rose.gif" 417</code></pre> 418 419<p>The color-escape <code>%[pixel:]</code> or <code>%[hex:]</code> is evaluated once per image and per color channel in that image (<a href="../www/command-line-options.html#channel">-channel</a> is ignored), The values generated are then converted into a color string (a named color or hex color value). The symbols <code>i</code> and <code>j</code> are set to zero, and <code>s</code> and <code>t</code> refer to each successively current image and index.</p> 420 421</div> 422 </div> 423 </main><!-- /.container --> 424 <footer class="magick-footer"> 425 <p><a href="../www/security-policy.html">Security</a> • 426 <a href="../www/architecture.html">Architecture</a> • 427 <a href="../www/links.html">Related</a> • 428 <a href="../www/sitemap.html">Sitemap</a> 429 430 <a href="fx.html#"><img class="d-inline" id="wand" alt="And Now a Touch of Magick" width="16" height="16" src="../images/wand.ico"/></a> 431 432 <a href="http://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x89AB63D48277377A">Public Key</a> • 433 <a href="../www/support.html">Donate</a> • 434 <a href="../www/https://imagemagick.org/script/contact.php">Contact Us</a> 435 <br/> 436 <small>© 1999-2019 ImageMagick Studio LLC</small></p> 437 </footer> 438 439 <!-- Javascript assets --> 440 <script src="assets/magick.js" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> 441 <script>window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="https://localhost/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"><\/script>')</script> 442</body> 443</html> 444
