So, right now I technically push even forward my programming skills, I mean…using imagemagick is a little bit hard, but today I compile some code and it runs!!!

Marco and I manage to resize the image to one half of its original size, but now we´re struggling with the grayscale functions and stuff, at least we have something to keep working on and we feel positive about the results in our final project.

We find some useful functions in the following pages:

http://www.imagemagick.org/script/perl-magick.php

http://www.imagemagick.org/Magick++/Color.html#ColorGray

 <Magick++.h> 
 <iostream> 
using namespace std; 
using namespace Magick;

void newline(){
  cout<<endl;
}

int main(int argc,char **argv) 
{ 
  InitializeMagick(*argv);
  try{
  int x;
  cout<<"Hi, Im a manipulator of images "<<endl;
  newline();
  cout<<"What do you want to do? (press the number in your keyboard) "<<endl;
  newline();
  cout<<"1. Rezise the image to one half of its original size"<<endl;
  cout<<"2. Switch to black and white"<<endl;
  newline();
  cin>>x;
  
  if(x==1){
     newline();
     cout<<"Alright, now introduce the name of the file with its extension; example: new.jpg"<<endl;  
     newline();
     Image image;
     string img;
     cin>>img;
     image.read(img);
     image.minify();
     image.write("resized.jpg");
 }
  if(x==2){
     newline();
     cout<<"Alright, now introduce the name of the file with its extension; example: new.jpg"<<endl;  
     newline();
     Image image;
     string img2;
     cin>>img2;
     image.read(img2);
     image.quantize(colorspace.gray);
     image.write("blackandwhite.jpg");
 }       
 } 
  catch( Exception &error_ ) 
    { 
      cout << "Caught exception: " << error_.what() << endl; 
      return 1; 
    } 
  return 0; 
}

The first option is the only one that works, we are going to keep working with the colors.

See you later!
