The following shows some common Gmagick image operations.
Example #1 Gmagick Example
<?php
//Instantiate a new Gmagick object
$image = new Gmagick('example.jpg');
//Make thumbnail from image loaded. 0 for either axes preserves aspect ratio
$image->thumbnailimage(100, 0);
//Create a border around the image, then simulate how the image will look like as an oil painting
//Notice the chaining of mutator methods which is supported in gmagick
$image->borderimage("yellow", 8, 8)->oilpaintimage(0.3);
//Write the current image at the current state to a file
$image->write('example_thumbnail.jpg');
?>
