Lua IMagick

Pure-C lua bindings to ImageMagick

Why?

Because existing FFI-based bindings are hackish and buggy, duh.

FAQ

1. Q) Will this work with openresty/nginx-lua?
   A) Yes. But remember, that IM operations are blocking.
2. Q) Is this production ready?
   A) Yes, we're using it for couple of months now without problems.
3. Q) Is this feature-complete?
   A) Hell no. There's lot of uncovered IM api. I've implemented only needed for me api for now.
4. Q) How do i properly resize animated gif?
   A) Firstly, coalesce() it, then resize as usual, then optimize() it back. You really should cache coalesce()'ed image if you resizing it frequently.

Requirements

• ImageMagick developer headers (>=6.8.8.3)
• Lua (5.1/5.2) or LuaJit
• Cmake 2.8.12 or later
• Working C compiler

Installation

As easy as

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
make install

You can also use make unittest after make to run tests.
By default module compiles with support for luajit
For other Lua interpreters see cmake options.
