Image API, Image GD, ImageMagick Drupal modules description
This API interface is intended as a replacement for the image APIs provided by image.inc
. You do not need to install this module unless another module requires it. It does not add new features to your Drupal site — it only provides an API that other modules can use. Currently, GD2 and ImageMagick are supported and bundled with ImageAPI.
Note: Requires PHP5!
Differences from Drupal core’s image.inc
:
- Images are handled as objects.
- Images are not saved after every operation; they must be explicitly saved after processing is complete.
- Multiple image toolkits can be used simultaneously. However, ImageAPI opens the image using only one toolkit, and further processing is handled within that same toolkit.
