IMImage7MBS.ClampToQuantum(value as Double) as Double

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
shared method	ImageMagick7	MBS GraphicsMagick Plugin	20.0	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	All

Clamps given value to the range for quantum.

Limits range between 0 and QuantumRange and for non-HDRI rounds value.

IMImage7MBS.Ping(path as string) as IMImage7MBS

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
shared method	ImageMagick7	MBS GraphicsMagick Plugin	20.0	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	All

Returns all the properties of an image or image sequence except for the pixels.

It is much faster and consumes far less memory than Read(). On failure, a nil image is returned and exception describes the reason for the failure.

See PingImage function in ImageMagick documentation.

IMImage7MBS.Read(path as string) as IMImage7MBS

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
shared method	ImageMagick7	MBS GraphicsMagick Plugin	20.0	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	All

Reads an image or image sequence from a file or file handle.

The method returns a nil if there is a memory shortage or if the image cannot be read. On failure, a nil image is returned and exception describes the reason for the failure.

See ReadImage function in ImageMagick documentation.

IMImage7MBS.ScaleQuantumToChar(value as Double) as UInt8

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
shared method	ImageMagick7	MBS GraphicsMagick Plugin	20.0	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	All

Scales a quantum value to 8 bit unsigned integer.

Depending on which library is loaded a quantum is an UInt8, UInt16, UInt32, Single or Double value.
This function normalizes and rounds values to nearest 8 bit integer value.
