Execute a gm command to manipulate, compare, or describe image files.
Typically, each option, value, or switch is a separate FileMaker parameter.
The version bundled with the macOS version of the bBox plugin currently supports the following file types, encodings, or features:
- large files (<32 bit)
- BZIP
- JBIG
- JPEG
- LCMS
- PNG
- SVG (Ubuntu only)
- TIFF
- ZLIB
On Ubuntu, see bBox's installation directions for a required additional installation steps.
For details on the gm command see GraphicsMagick GM Utility. Although testing may be the quickest way to determine which image formats are supported, for details on supported formats see GraphicsMagick Supported Formats. Also see bBox_Sips, which may provide better performance and can work with a few image types not supported by GraphicsMagick.
