Chop() removes a region of an image and collapses the image to occupy the removed portion.

The format of the ChopImage method is:

      Image *ChopImage(const Image *image,const RectangleInfo *chop_info)
        ExceptionInfo *exception)

Define the region of the image to chop.

#### exception

Return any errors or warnings in this structure.

## CoalesceImages

CoalesceImages() composites a set of images while respecting any page offsets and disposal methods. GIF, MIFF, and MNG animation sequences typically start with an image background and each subsequent image varies in size and offset.

The format of the CoalesceImages method is:

      Image *CoalesceImages(Image *image,ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

#### image

The image sequence.

#### exception

Return any errors or warnings in this structure.

## CropImage

CropImage() extracts a region of the image starting at the offset defined by geometry.

The format of the CropImage method is:

      Image *CropImage(const Image *image,const RectangleInfo *geometry,
        ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

#### image

The image.

#### geometry

Define the region of the image to crop with members x, y, width, and height.

#### exception

Return any errors or warnings in this structure.

## DeconstructImages

DeconstructImages() compares each image with the next in a sequence and returns the maximum bounding region of any pixel differences it discovers.

The format of the DeconstructImages method is:

      Image *DeconstructImages(const Image *image,ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

#### image

The image.

#### exception

Return any errors or warnings in this structure.

## FlattenImage

FlattenImage() composites all images from the current image pointer to the end of the image list and returns a single flattened image.

The format of the FlattenImage method is:

      Image *FlattenImage(Image *image,ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

#### image

The image sequence.

#### exception

Return any errors or warnings in this structure.

## FlipImage

FlipImage() creates a vertical mirror image by reflecting the pixels around the central x-axis.

The format of the FlipImage method is:

      Image *FlipImage(const Image *image,ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

#### image

The image.

#### exception

Return any errors or warnings in this structure.

## FlopImage

FlopImage() creates a horizontal mirror image by reflecting the pixels around the central y-axis.

The format of the FlopImage method is:

      Image *FlopImage(const Image *image,ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

#### image

The image.

#### exception

Return any errors or warnings in this structure.

## MosaicImages

MosaicImages() inlays an image sequence to form a single coherent picture. It returns a single image with each image in the sequence composited at the location defined by the page member of the image structure.

The format of the MosaicImage method is:

      Image *MosaicImages(const Image *image,ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

#### image

The image.

#### exception

Return any errors or warnings in this structure.

## RollImage

RollImage() offsets an image as defined by x_offset and y_offset.

The format of the RollImage method is:

      Image *RollImage(const Image *image,const long x_offset,
        const long y_offset,ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

#### image

The image.

#### x_offset

The number of columns to roll in the horizontal direction.

#### y_offset

The number of rows to roll in the vertical direction.

#### exception

Return any errors or warnings in this structure.

## ShaveImage

ShaveImage() shaves pixels from the image edges. It allocates the memory necessary for the new Image structure and returns a pointer to the new image.

The format of the ShaveImage method is:

      Image *ShaveImage(const Image *image,const RectangleInfo *shave_info,
        ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

#### shave_image

Method ShaveImage returns a pointer to the shaved image. A null image is returned if there is a memory shortage or if the image width or height is zero.

#### image

The image.

#### shave_info

Specifies a pointer to a RectangleInfo which defines the region of the image to crop.

#### exception

Return any errors or warnings in this structure.

## SpliceImage

SpliceImage() splices a solid color into the image as defined by the geometry.

The format of the SpliceImage method is:

      Image *SpliceImage(const Image *image,const RectangleInfo *geometry,
        ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

#### image

The image.

#### geometry

Define the region of the image to splice with members x, y, width, and height.

#### exception

Return any errors or warnings in this structure.

## TransformImage

TransformImage() is a convenience method that behaves like ResizeImage() or CropImage() but accepts scaling and/or cropping information as a region geometry specification. If the operation fails, the original image handle is returned.

The format of the TransformImage method is:

      MagickBooleanType TransformImage(Image **image,const char *crop_geometry,
        const char *image_geometry)

A description of each parameter follows:

#### image

The image The transformed image is returned as this parameter.

#### crop_geometry

A crop geometry string. This geometry defines a subregion of the image to crop.

#### image_geometry

An image geometry string. This geometry defines the final size of the image.

## TransformImages

TransformImages() calls TransformImage() on each image of a sequence.

The format of the TransformImage method is:

      MagickBooleanType TransformImages(Image **image,
        const char *crop_geometry,const char *image_geometry)

A description of each parameter follows:

#### image

The image The transformed image is returned as this parameter.

#### crop_geometry

A crop geometry string. This geometry defines a subregion of the image to crop.

#### image_geometry

An image geometry string. This geometry defines the final size of the image.

## TrimImage

TrimImage() trims pixels from the image edges. It allocates the memory necessary for the new Image structure and returns a pointer to the new image.

The format of the TrimImage method is:

      Image *TrimImage(const Image *image,ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

#### image

The image.

#### exception

Return any errors or warnings in this structure.
