No numbers also means a 2 level (bitmap) dither will be applied to all channels, while a single number is the number of levels applied to each channel in sequence. More numbers will be applied in turn to each of the color channels.

For example: "o3x3,6" generates a 6 level posterization of the image with a ordered 3x3 diffused pixel dither being applied between each level. While checker,8,8,4 will produce a 332 colormaped image with only a single checkerboard hash pattern (50 grey) between each color level, to basically double the number of color levels with a bare minimim of dithering.

the white point.

x, y

Define the x and y ellipse offset.

MagickWaveImage() creates a "ripple" effect in the image by shifting the pixels vertically along a sine wave whose amplitude and wavelength is specified by the given parameters.

The format of the MagickWaveImage method is:

  MagickBooleanType MagickWaveImage(MagickWand *wand,const double amplitude,
    const double wave_length)

A description of each parameter follows:

wand

the magick wand.

amplitude, wave_length

Define the amplitude and wave length of the sine wave.

MagickWhiteThresholdImage() is like ThresholdImage() but force all pixels above the threshold into white while leaving all pixels below the threshold unchanged.

The format of the MagickWhiteThresholdImage method is:

  MagickBooleanType MagickWhiteThresholdImage(MagickWand *wand,
    const PixelWand *threshold)

A description of each parameter follows:

wand

the magick wand.

threshold

the pixel wand.

MagickWriteImage() writes an image to the specified filename. If the filename parameter is NULL, the image is written to the filename set by MagickReadImage() or MagickSetImageFilename().

The format of the MagickWriteImage method is:

  MagickBooleanType MagickWriteImage(MagickWand *wand,
    const char *filename)

A description of each parameter follows:

wand

the magick wand.

filename

the image filename.

MagickWriteImageFile() writes an image to an open file descriptor.

The format of the MagickWriteImageFile method is:

  MagickBooleanType MagickWriteImageFile(MagickWand *wand,FILE *file)

A description of each parameter follows:

wand

the magick wand.

file

the file descriptor.

MagickWriteImages() writes an image or image sequence.

The format of the MagickWriteImages method is:

  MagickBooleanType MagickWriteImages(MagickWand *wand,
    const char *filename,const MagickBooleanType adjoin)

A description of each parameter follows:

wand

the magick wand.

filename

the image filename.

adjoin

join images into a single multi-image file.

MagickWriteImagesFile() writes an image sequence to an open file descriptor.

The format of the MagickWriteImagesFile method is:

  MagickBooleanType MagickWriteImagesFile(MagickWand *wand,FILE *file)

A description of each parameter follows:

wand

the magick wand.

file

the file descriptor.
