The intended use is for Windows Scripting Host VBS scripts and Visual Basic, but it is also available from to C++, ASP, and other languages like Delphi, Perl and PHP.</p> 98 99<p>The ImageMagickObject COM+ component provides access to the <a href="compare.html">compare</a>, <a href="convert.html">convert</a>, <a href="composite.html">composite</a>, <a href="../www/mogrify.html">mogrify</a>, <a href="identify.html">identify</a>, <a href="../www/montage.html">montage</a>, and <a href="stream.html">stream</a> tools, efficiently executing them as part of your process, rather than as external programs. The way you use it is exactly the same. You pass it a list of strings including filenames and various options and it does the job. In fact, you can take any existing batch scripts that use the command line tools and translate them into the equivalent calls to the COM+ object in a matter of minutes. Beyond that, there is also a way to pass in and retrieve images in memory in the form of standard smart arrays (byte arrays). Samples are provided, to show both the simple and more elaborate forms of access.</p> 100 101<p>ImageMagick provides a statically-built ImageMagick object as part of its <a href="../www/download.html#windows">Windows installation package</a>. When this package is installed, ImageMagickObject and its sample programs are installed to this path:</p> 102 103<pre class="highlight"><code> c:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.0.10-Q16\ImageMagickObject 104</code></pre> 105 106<p>The ImageMagickObject is registered if the checkbox, <code>Register ImageMagickObject</code>, is checked at install time.</p> 107 108<p>To execute the sample program from the Windows Command Shell, type:</p> 109 110<pre class="highlight"><code>cscript SimpleTest.vbs 111</code></pre> 112 113<p>Since the ImageMagick utility command line parsers are incorporated within ImageMagickObject, please refer to the <a href="../www/command-line-tools.html">command-line tools</a> discussion to learn how to use it. The sample VBS scripts show how the object should be called and used and have lots of comments.</p> 114 115<p>C++ programmers should have a look at the <code>MagickCMD.cpp</code> command line utility for an example of how to call the object from C++. The object requires a variable size list of BSTR's to emulate the command line argc, argv style calling conventions of the COM component which is more complex in C++ then in VBS or VB.</p> 116 117<p>MagickCMD is a C++ sample, but it also serves as a replacement for all the other command line utilities in most applications. Instead of using <code>magick xxxx yyyy</code> you can use <code>MagickCMD convert xxxx yyyy</code> instead. MagickCMD calls the COM object to accomplish the designated task. This small tight combination replaces the entire usual binary distribution in just a few mebibytes.</p> 118 119<h2><a class="anchor" id="build"></a>Build ImageMagickObject From Source</h2> 120 121<p>The source code for ImageMagickObject is available from the ImageMagick <a href="https://github.com/ImageMagick">GIT</a> repository, or as part of the <a href="install-source.html#windows">Windows source</a> distribution. Once the source code has been retrieved and extracted, the source for ImageMagickObject is the directory <code>ImageMagick\contrib\win32\ATL7ImageMagickObject</code>, however, ImageMagick itself must be built using the static-multithread (VisualStaticMT) build configuration. Building ImageMagickObject requires Microsoft Visual C++ 7.0 as delivered with Microsoft's Visual Studio .NET package. See the <a href="install-source.html#windows">Windows compilation instructions</a> to get ImageMagick itself built before building the ImageMagick COM+ component.</p> 122 123<p>Once the VisualStaticMT project has been built, build the ImageMagickObject with this procedure:</p> 124 125<pre class="highlight"><code>cd ImageMagick/contrib/win32/ATL7/ImageMagickObject 126BuildImageMagickObject release 127</code></pre> 128 129<p>Here, we assume that the VisualStaticMT project has been built using the release setting for an optimized build. If the debug setting was used for a debug build, specify the argument <code>debug</code>; instead.</p> 130 131<p>To register the DLL as a COM+ server, type</p> 132 133<pre class="highlight"><code>regsvr32 /c /s ImageMagickObject.dll 134</code></pre> 135 136<p>To unregister the DLL, type</p> 137 138<pre class="highlight"><code>regsvr32 /u /s ImageMagickObject.dll 139</code></pre> 140 141<p>Use MagickCMD to exercise ImageMagickObject to verify that it is working properly.</p> 142 143</div> 144 </div> 145 </main><!-- /.container --> 146 <footer class="magick-footer"> 147 <div class="container-fluid"> 148 <a href="../www/security-policy.html">Security</a> • 149 <a href="../www/news.html">News</a> 150 151 <a href="ImageMagickObject.html#"><img class="d-inline" id="wand" alt="And Now a Touch of Magick" width="16" height="16" src="../images/wand.ico"/></a> 152 153 <a href="../www/links.html">Related</a> • 154 <a href="../www/sitemap.html">Sitemap</a> 155 <br/> 156 <a href="../www/support.html">Sponsor</a> • 157 <a href="../www/cite.html">Cite</a> • 158 <a href="http://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x89AB63D48277377A">Public Key</a> • 159 <a href="../www/https://imagemagick.org/script/contact.php">Contact Us</a> 160 <br/> 161 <a href="https://github.com/imagemagick/imagemagick" target="_blank" rel="noopener" aria-label="GitHub"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="navbar-nav-svg" viewBox="0 0 512 499.36" width="2%" height="2%" role="img" focusable="false"><title>GitHub</title><path fill="currentColor" fill-rule="evenodd" d="M256 0C114.64 0 0 114.61 0 256c0 113.09 73.34 209 175.08 242.9 12.8 2.35 17.47-5.56 17.47-12.34 0-6.08-.22-22.18-.35-43.54-71.2 15.49-86.2-34.34-86.2-34.34-11.64-29.57-28.42-37.45-28.42-37.45-23.27-15.84 1.73-15.55 1.73-15.55 25.69 1.81 39.21 26.38 39.21 26.38 22.84 39.12 59.92 27.82 74.5 21.27 2.33-16.54 8.94-27.82 16.25-34.22-56.84-6.43-116.6-28.43-116.6-126.49 0-27.95 10-50.8 26.35-68.69-2.63-6.48-11.42-32.5 2.51-67.75 0 0 21.49-6.88 70.4 26.24a242.65 242.65 0 0 1 128.18 0c48.87-33.13 70.33-26.24 70.33-26.24 14 35.25 5.18 61.27 2.55 67.75 16.41 17.9 26.31 40.75 26.31 68.69 0 98.35-59.85 120-116.88 126.32 9.19 7.9 17.38 23.53 17.38 47.41 0 34.22-.31 61.83-.31 70.23 0 6.85 4.61 14.81 17.6 12.31C438.72 464.97 512 369.08 512 256.02 512 114.62 397.37 0 256 0z"/></svg></a> • 162 <a href="https://twitter.com/imagemagick" target="_blank" rel="noopener" aria-label="Twitter"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="navbar-nav-svg" viewBox="0 0 512 416.32" width="2%" height="2%" role="img" focusable="false"><title>Twitter</title><path fill="currentColor" d="M160.83 416.32c193.2 0 298.92-160.22 298.92-298.92 0-4.51 0-9-.2-13.52A214 214 0 0 0 512 49.38a212.93 212.93 0 0 1-60.44 16.6 105.7 105.7 0 0 0 46.3-58.19 209 209 0 0 1-66.79 25.37 105.09 105.09 0 0 0-181.73 71.91 116.12 116.12 0 0 0 2.66 24c-87.28-4.3-164.73-46.3-216.56-109.82A105.48 105.48 0 0 0 68 159.6a106.27 106.27 0 0 1-47.53-13.11v1.43a105.28 105.28 0 0 0 84.21 103.06 105.67 105.67 0 0 1-47.33 1.84 105.06 105.06 0 0 0 98.14 72.94A210.72 210.72 0 0 1 25 370.84a202.17 202.17 0 0 1-25-1.43 298.85 298.85 0 0 0 160.83 46.92"/></svg></a> 163 <br/> 164 <small>© 1999-2021 ImageMagick Studio LLC</small> 165 </div> 166 </footer> 167 168 <!-- Javascript assets --> 169 <script src="assets/magick.js" ></script> 170 </body> 171</html> 172<!-- Magick Cache 13th February 2021 14:08 -->
