version information Use any setting or operator as an \fIoutput-option\fP.

They include: \-antialias, \-caption, \-density, \-define, \-encoding, \-font, \-pointsize, \-size, and \-texture as well as any of the miscellaneous options. By default, the image format of `file' is determined by its magic number. To specify a particular image format, precede the filename with an image format name and a colon (i.e. ps:image) or specify the image type as the filename suffix (i.e. image.ps). Specify 'file' as '-' for standard input or output. .SH SEE ALSO ImageMagick(1) .SH COPYRIGHT \fBCopyright (C) 1999-2021 ImageMagick Studio LLC.
