In general this is excellent advice, but I believe ImageMagick is
not a Mac program but an X11 thing.
ImageMagick has some X11 components, but can be compiled as a set of
unix command line programs that will perform various operations on
images. I assume that somebody wanting access to that functionality
would care more about that part, then whether the front-end stuff is
there. Maybe I don't understand what the OP is trying to do, but my
guess is that he wants to leverage some of it's transformation
abilities.
Personally, since NSImage and associated classes are so robust, I'd
advise against it, but you could identify if it's installed by having
your code execute
whereis convert
and parsing the results - if it's an empty string, it couldn't find
it. You might want to manually add the common locations (/usr/bin /usr/
local/bin) to the path environment variable just to be sure.
But, seriously, In wonder what the OP wants to do that can't be done
more easily with NSImage...
