Bug Reporting/Feature Request

Tests are necessary to verify if the bindings work with all versions of ImageMagick.

You can post Bug Reports / Feature Requests here:


Bug 1

There is an error in pixel_iterator.inc The correct declaration is function NewPixelIterator(wand: PMagickWand): PPixelIterator; cdecl; external WandExport;

also the following declarations should be added function PixelGetNextIteratorRow(iterator: PPixeliterator; var wandCount : Cardinal) : PPPixelWand; cdecl; external WandExport;

function PixelGetPreviousIteratorRow(iterator: PPixeliterator; var wandCount : Cardinal) : PPPixelWand; cdecl; external WandExport;

Cheers, Todd.

Status: Fixed on 0.3


Bug 2

There is a problem in "magick_wand.pas" and "ImageMagick.pas": the compiler option "{$PACKRECORDS C}" must be in the "{$ifdef FPC}[...]{$endif}". Otherwise the units do not compile with Delphi (Delphi 7 in my case).

Best wishes, Marc Geldon (PRO IT SYSTEMS)


Bug 3

your definition of "MagickGetImagePage" in magick_image.inc:

function MagickGetImagePage(wand: PMagickWand; width, height: PCardinal; x, y: Integer): MagickBooleanType; cdecl; external WandExport;

correct definition (x and y are "PInteger"!):

function MagickGetImagePage(wand: PMagickWand; width, height: PCardinal; x, y: PInteger): MagickBooleanType; cdecl; external WandExport;

Best wishes, Marc Geldon (PRO IT SYSTEMS)


Bug 4

ImageMagick 6.2.7 (don't know exactly what version) introduced a few changes in MagickWand record and others. Also, a few variable definitions were incorrectly declared, and some function imports missed the "cdecl", so they didn't work (like NewMagickWand()). I've fixed all this issues. Can I upload the changes somewhere?

Best regards, Arcnor

Hello, you can send it to me, and I´ll apply the changes. My e-mail is felipemonteiro.carvalho@gmail.com By the way, did you correct bugs 2 and 3 also? thanks a lot --Sekelsenmat 05:07, 8 June 2006 (CEST)

Bug 5

MagickNewImage parameters convention is cdecl.

Correct definition of MagickNewImage in magick_image.inc:

function MagickNewImage(wand: PMagickWand; const columns, rows: Cardinal;
 const background: PPixelWand): MagickBooleanType; cdecl; external WandExport;

Bug 6

MagickCompositeImage : Composite_wand is a PMagickWand constant.

Correct definition of MagickCompositeImage in magick_image.inc:

function MagickCompositeImage(wand: PMagickWand; const composite_wand: PMagickWand; 
 const compose: CompositeOperator; const x, y: Integer): MagickBooleanType; cdecl; external WandExport;

Bug 7

When I tried PascalMagick-0.4 with ImageMagick-6.6.3-0-Q16-windows-x64-dll.exe installer on Windows 7 Home Premium, the wanddemo did not work: the dos window displayed, but got error dialog:

wanddemo.exe Application error: The application was unable to start correctly (0x000007b).

For those wanting a solution, I uninstalled the 64-bit version of ImageMagick and installed the 32 bit version, using installer ImageMagick-6.6.3-0-Q16-windows-dll.exe and then wanddemo did work.

For those wanting to diagnose the problem, I obtained a backtrace for the 64-bit version ( see instructions at Creating a Backtrace with GDB).

Running Command Prompt:

C:\programs\PascalMagick\demo1>gdb wanddemo.exe

Recompiling with compiler option to 'Generate debugging info for GDB' only changed one line of GDB output:

'Error: dll starting at 0x1430000 not found.'

changed to

'Error: dll starting at 0x320000 not found.'

I hope this helps.

Status: Bugs 2-6 fixed on v0.4. Thanks to all (Arcnor)

Downloads for Delphi

Where are downloads for Delphi? Am I must download entire fpc to obtain library sources? --Nashev (talk) 16:32, 3 February 2018 (CET)
