This example is a cheat sheet for using ImageMagick from the Linux command line, presented as a Jupyter notebook. It demonstrates two common image-processing tasks: resizing an image while preserving its aspect ratio via the `convert` command with the `-resize` flag, and creating an animated GIF from a sequence of PNG files using `-delay` and `-loop` options. The code relies on the ImageMagick `convert` utility and includes links to external tutorials for reference.

GraphicsMagick Cheat Sheet

This example presents a single-shell cheat sheet for GraphicsMagick, a command-line image processing tool. It demonstrates how to make a non-square image square by adding transparent padding using the `montage` command with `-geometry 1024x1024` and `-background none`. The displayed code shows the exact shell syntax and flags needed to achieve this operation, serving as a quick reference for users. The visualization itself is a static code listing, with the rendering approach being the monospaced text output of the script.

Creating Thumbnails with GraphicsMagick

This example demonstrates a batch image processing workflow using GraphicsMagick’s `gm convert` command. It shows how to automatically generate uniform thumbnails from a folder of PNG images, first cropping each source to a 1920x1000 region offset by (312, 510) pixels, then resizing the crop to 230x120 pixels. The shell script iterates over all PNG files in the `source` directory, processes each one, and saves the results to a `target` folder. The approach relies on Bash array expansion and the `gm` command-line tool’s `-crop` and `-resize` operators.

Simple script to crop pokemon card images

This example is a batch script that crops Pokémon card images into a uniform size and applies a rounded-corner mask. It processes image files by dragging them onto the script or running it in a folder, writing cropped PNGs to an output directory. The script uses ImageMagick’s `magick` command-line tool to perform image identification, cropping, and compositing, specifically leveraging the `identify` operation for dimensions and `convert`-style options for the mask overlay. It also includes a fallback to install ImageMagick via Windows Package Manager (`winget`) if not found.

conversion loops in bash

This example shows two bash loops that batch-convert files between formats. The first loop processes all GIF files in a folder, using ImageMagick's `convert` to split each animation into numbered frames and then append them vertically into a single image. The second loop transforms every HTML file into a PDF via `wkhtmltopdf`. Both loops rely on shell parameter substitution and `sed` to derive output filenames, echoing each file as it is processed.

Terminal Cheat Sheet

This example presents a text-based visualization of a terminal cheat sheet, displaying common shell commands and Git workflows in a compact reference format. The visualization shows grouped sections for basic commands, Git quick starts, branching, merging, and revision inspection, with code snippets and inline comments explaining each operation. The rendering approach uses plain monospaced text with tab-separated formatting to align commands with their descriptions, and the data originates from a public gist authored by FilipMessa. No external libraries or APIs are used; the visualization relies entirely on the raw text file’s structure to convey the information.

Screen Recording to GIF

This example demonstrates a command-line workflow for converting a QuickTime screen recording into an optimized GIF. It first uses ffmpeg to extract frames at 24 fps, then ImageMagick’s `convert` to build a palette from the first frame, remap all frames with `-remap` for color reduction, and finally gifsicle with `--optimize=3` to compress the output. A resize option via gifsicle shows how to scale the final image, while the code notes alternative tools like LICEcap and the trade-offs of uploading MOV files to Twitter.

Screen Recording to GIF

This example shows how to convert a screen recording into an animated GIF using command-line tools. It first generates a color palette from the video with FFmpeg’s `palettegen` filter, then applies that palette with `paletteuse` to produce a high-quality GIF. The workflow also supports optional frame dropping via `fps` and cropping through FFmpeg’s `crop` filter. The code relies solely on FFmpeg and Gifsicle, with QuickTime Player used for the initial recording.

Gist 96829331ffd980ee6a4f3ab1196708f1

This visualization presents a structured Git cheat sheet, organizing commands into clear categories like configuration, local and remote branch management, and advanced operations. It demonstrates a comprehensive set of command-line workflows, including branching, merging, stashing, and comparing changes, each paired with practical usage examples. The rendering relies on standard Markdown code blocks and inline formatting to distinguish commands, comments, and options, providing a reference-style layout rather than a data-driven graphic.
