FindImageMagick
Finds ImageMagick, a software suite for displaying, converting, and manipulating raster images:
find_package(ImageMagick [<version>] [COMPONENTS <components>...] [...])
Added in version 3.9: Support for ImageMagick 7.
Components
This module supports components and searches for a set of ImageMagick tools. Typical components include the names of ImageMagick executables, but are not limited to the following (future versions of ImageMagick may provide additional components not listed here):
animatecomparecompositeconjureconvertdisplayidentifyimportmogrifymontagestream
There are also components for the following ImageMagick APIs:
-
Magick++ -
Finds the ImageMagick C++ API.
-
MagickWand -
Finds the ImageMagick MagickWand C API.
-
MagickCore -
Finds the ImageMagick MagickCore low-level C API.
Components can be specified using the find_package() command:
find_package(ImageMagick [COMPONENTS <components>...])
If no components are specified, the module only searches for the ImageMagick executable directory.
Imported Targets
This module provides the following Imported Targets:
-
ImageMagick::Magick++ -
Added in version 3.26.
Target encapsulating the ImageMagick C++ API usage requirements, available if ImageMagick C++ is found.
-
ImageMagick::MagickWand -
Added in version 3.26.
Target encapsulating the ImageMagick MagickWand C API usage requirements, available if MagickWand is found.
-
ImageMagick::MagickCore -
Added in version 3.26.
Target encapsulating the ImageMagick MagickCore low-level C API usage requirements, available if MagickCore is found.
Result Variables
This module defines the following variables:
-
ImageMagick_FOUND -
Boolean indicating whether (the requested version of) ImageMagick and all its requested components were found.
-
ImageMagick_VERSION -
Added in version 4.2.
The version of ImageMagick found in form of
<major>.<minor>.<patch>-<addendum>(e.g.,6.9.12-98, where98is the addendum release number).Note
Version detection is available only for ImageMagick 6 and later.
-
ImageMagick_INCLUDE_DIRS -

-
ImageMagick_LIBRARIES -
Libraries needed to link against to use ImageMagick.
-
ImageMagick_COMPILE_OPTIONS -
Added in version 3.26.
Compile options of all libraries.
-
ImageMagick_<component>_FOUND -
Boolean indicating whether the ImageMagick
<component>is found. -
ImageMagick_<component>_EXECUTABLE -
The full path to
<component>executable. -
ImageMagick_<component>_INCLUDE_DIRS -
Include directories containing headers needed to use the ImageMagick
<component>. -
ImageMagick_<component>_COMPILE_OPTIONS -
Added in version 3.26.
Compile options of the ImageMagick
<component>. -
ImageMagick_<component>_LIBRARIES -

<component>.
Cache Variables
The following cache variables may also be set:
-
ImageMagick_EXECUTABLE_DIR -
The full path to directory containing ImageMagick executables.
Deprecated Variables
The following variables are provided for backward compatibility:
-
ImageMagick_VERSION_STRING -
Deprecated since version 4.2: Use
ImageMagick_VERSION, which has the same value.The version of ImageMagick found.
