1. Usage
-----
gmic [-command1 [arg1_1,arg1_2,..]] .. [-commandN [argN_1,argN_2,..]]
'gmic' is the open-source interpreter of the G'MIC language, a script-based
programming
language dedicated to the design of possibly complex image processing pipelines.
It can be used to convert, manipulate, filter and visualize image datasets made of one
or several 1d/2d or 3d multi-spectral images.
This reference documentation describes the rules and technical aspects of the G'MIC
language.

2. Overall context
---------------
- At any time, G'MIC manages one list of numbered (and optionally named) pixel-based
images, entirely stored in computer memory.
- The first image of the list has indice '0' and is denoted by '[0]'. The second image
of
the list is denoted by '[1]', the third by '[2]' and so on.
- Negative indices are treated in a periodic way: '[-1]' refers to the last image of the
list, '[-2]' to the penultimate one, etc. Thus, if the list has 4 images, '[1]' and
'[-3]'
both designate the second image of the list.
- A named image may be indicated by '[name]', if 'name' uses the character set [a-zA-
Z0-9_]
and does not start with a number. Image names can be set or reassigned at any moment
during the processing pipeline (see commands '-name' and '-input' for this purpose).
- G'MIC defines a set of various commands and substitution mechanisms to allow the
design
of complex pipelines managing this list of images, in a very flexible way:
You can insert or remove images in the list, rearrange image indices, process images
(individually or grouped), merge image data together, display and output image files,
etc.
- Such a pipeline can be written itself as a custom G'MIC command storable in a user
command file, and can be re-used afterwards in another pipeline if necessary.
3. Image definition and terminology
--------------------------------
- In G'MIC, each image is modeled as a 1d, 2d, 3d or 4d array of scalar values,
uniformly
discretized on a rectangular/parallelepipedic domain.
- The four dimensions of this array are respectively denoted by:
. 'width', the number of image columns (size along the 'x'-axis).
. 'height', the number of image rows (size along the 'y'-axis).
. 'depth', the number of image slices (size along the 'z'-axis).
The depth is equal to 1 for usual color or grayscale 2d images.
. 'spectrum', the number of image channels (size along the 'c'-axis).
The spectrum is respectively equal to 3 and 4 for usual RGB and RGBA color images.
- There are no limitations on the size of each image dimension. For instance, the number
of
image slices or channels can be of arbitrary size within the limits of available
memory.
- The width, height and depth of an image are considered as spatial dimensions, while
the
spectrum has a multi-spectral meaning. Thus, a 4d image in G'MIC should be most often
regarded as a 3d dataset of multi-spectral voxels. Most of the G'MIC commands will
stick
with this idea (e.g. command '-blur' blurs images only along the spatial 'xyz'-axes).
- G'MIC stores all the image data as buffers of 'float' values (32 bits,
value range [-3.4E38,+3.4E38]). It performs all its image processing operations with
floating point numbers. Each image pixel takes then 32bits/channel (except if double-
precision buffers have been enabled during the compilation of the software, in which
case
64bits/channel is the default).
- Considering 'float'-valued pixels ensure to keep the numerical precision when
executing
image processing pipelines. For image input/output operations, you may want to
prescribe
the image datatype to be different than 'float' (like 'bool', 'char', 'int', etc...).
This is possible by specifying it as a file option when using I/O commands.
(see section 'Input/output properties' to learn more about file options).
4. Items of a processing pipeline
------------------------------
- In G'MIC, an image processing pipeline is described as a sequence of items separated
by
the space character ' '. Such items are interpreted and executed from the left to the
right. For instance, the expression:
filename.jpg -blur 3,0 -sharpen 10 -resize 200%,200% -output output.jpg
defines a valid pipeline composed of nine G'MIC items.
- Each G'MIC item is a string that is either a command, a list of command arguments,
a filename, or a special input string.
- Escape characters '\' and double quotes '"' can be used to define items containing
spaces or other special characters. For instance, the two strings
'single\ item' and '"single item"' define the same single item, with a space in it.
5. Input data items
----------------
- If a specified G'MIC item appears to be an existing filename, the corresponding image
data are loaded and inserted at the end of the image list (which is equivalent to the
use of '-input filename').
- Special filenames '-' and '-.ext' stand for the standard input/output streams,
optionally
forced to be in a specific 'ext' file format (e.g. '-.jpg' or '-.png').
- The following special input strings may be used as G'MIC items to create and insert
new
images with prescribed values, at the end of the image list:
. '[selection]' or '[selection]xN': Insert 1 or N copies of already existing images.
'selection' may represent one or several images
(see section 'Command items and selections' to learn more about selections).
. 'width[%],_height[%],_depth[%],_spectrum[%],_values': Insert a new image with
specified size and values (adding '%' to a dimension means 'percentage of the size
along the same axis, taken from the last image '[-1]''). Any specified dimension
can be also written as '[image]', and is then set to the size (along the same axis)
of the existing specified image [image]. 'values' can be either a sequence of
numbers
separated by commas ',', or a mathematical expression, as e.g. in input item
'256,256,1,3,if(c==0,x,if(c==1,y,0))' which creates a 256x256 RGB color image with
a
spatial shading on the red and green channels.
(see section 'Mathematical expressions' to learn more about mathematical
expressions).
. '(v1,v2,..)': Insert a new image from specified prescribed values.
Value separator inside parentheses can be ',' (column separator), ';' (row
separator),
'/' (slice separator) or '^' (channel separator). For instance, expression
'(1,2,3;4,5,6;7,8,9)' creates a 3x3 matrix (scalar image), with values running from
1 to 9.
. '0': Insert a new 'empty' image, containing no pixel data. Empty images are used
only
in rare occasions.
- Input item 'name=value' declares a new local or global variable 'name', or assign a
new
value to an existing variable. Variable names must use the character set [a-zA-Z0-9_]
and
cannot start with a number.
- A variable definition is always local to the current command except when it starts by
the
underscore character '_'. In that case, it becomes also accessible by any command
invoked
outside the current command scope (global variable).
- If a variable name starts with two underscores '__', the global variable is also
shared
among different threads and can be read/set by commands running in parallel (see
command
'-parallel' for this purpose). Otherwise, it remains local to the thread that defined
it.
- Numerical variables can be updated with the use of these special operators:
'+=' (addition), '-=' (subtraction), '*=' (multiplication), '/=' (division), '%='
(modulo),
'&=' (bitwise and), '|=' (bitwise or), '^=' (power), '<<=' and '>>=' (bitwise left
and right shifts). As in: 'foo=1 foo+=3'.
6. Command items and selections
----------------------------
- A G'MIC item starting by a hyphen '-' designates a command, most of the time.
Generally,
commands perform image processing operations on one or several available images of
the list.
- Reccurent commands have two equivalent names (regular and short). For instance,
command
names '-resize' and '-r' refer to the same image resizing action.
- A G'MIC command may have mandatory or optional arguments. Command arguments must be
specified in the next item on the command line. Commas ',' are used to separate
multiple
arguments of a single command, when required.
- The execution of a G'MIC command may be restricted only to a subset of the image list,
by
appending '[selection]' to the command name. Examples of valid syntaxes for
'selection' are:
. '-command[-2]': Apply command only on the penultimate image [-2] of the list.
. '-command[0,1,3]': Apply command only on images [0],[1] and [3].
. '-command[3-6]': Apply command only on images [3] to [6] (i.e, [3],[4],[5] and [6]).
. '-command[50%-100%]': Apply command only on the second half of the image list.
. '-command[0,-4--1]': Apply command only on the first image and the last four images.
. '-command[0-9:3]': Apply command only on images [0] to [9], with a step of 3
(i.e. on images [0], [3], [6] and [9]).
. '-command[0--1:2]': Apply command only on images of the list with even indices.
. '-command[0,2-4,50%--1]': Apply command on images [0],[2],[3],[4] and on the second
half
of the image list.
. '-command[^0,1]': Apply command on all images except the two first.
. '-command[name1,name2]': Apply command on named images 'name1' and 'name2'.
- Indices in selections are always sorted in increasing order, and duplicate indices are
discarded. For instance, selections '[3-1,1-3]' and '[1,1,1,3,2]' are both equivalent
to
'[1-3]'. If you want to repeat a single command multiple times on an image, use a
'-repeat..-done' loop instead. Inverting the order of images for a command is
achieved by
explicitly inverting the order of the images in the list, with command
'-reverse[selection]'.
- Command selections '[-1]','[-2]' and '[-3]' are so often used that they have their own
shortcuts,
respectively '.', '..' and '...'. For instance, command '-blur..' is equivalent to
'-blur[-2]'.
These shortcuts work only for command selections, not for command arguments.
- G'MIC commands invoked without '[selection]' are applied on all images of the list,
i.e. the
default selection is '[0--1]' (except for command '-input' whose default selection is
'[-1]').
- A G'MIC command starting with a double hyphen '--' (instead of a single hyphen '-')
does not act
'in-place' but inserts its result as one or several new images at the end of the
image list.
- There are two different types of commands that can be run by the G'MIC interpreter:
. Native commands, are the hard-coded functionalities in the interpreter core.
They are thus compiled as binary code and run fast, most of the time.
Omitting an argument when invoking a native command is not permitted, except if all
following arguments are also omitted. For instance, call to '-plasma 10,,5' is
invalid
but '-plasma 10' is correct.
. Custom commands, are defined as G'MIC pipelines of native or custom commands.
They are interpreted by the G'MIC interpreter, and thus run a bit slower than
native commands.
Omitting arguments when invoking a custom command is permitted. For instance,
expressions '-flower ,,,100,,2' or '-flower ,' are correct.
- Most of the existing commands in G'MIC are actually defined as custom commands.
- A user can easily add its own custom commands to the G'MIC interpreter (see section
'Adding custom commands' for more details). New native commands cannot be added
(unless you modify the G'MIC interpreter source code and recompile it, of course!).
7. Input/output properties
-----------------------
- G'MIC is able to read/write most of the classical image file formats, including:
. 2d grayscale/color files: .png, .jpeg, .gif, .pnm, .tif, .bmp, ..
. 3d volumetric files: .dcm, .hdr, .nii, .pan, .inr, .pnk, ..
. video files: .mpeg, .avi, .mov, .ogg, .flv, ..
. Generic ascii or binary data files: .gmz, .cimg, .cimgz, .dlm, .asc, .pfm, .raw,
.txt, .h.
. 3d object files: .off.
- When dealing with color images, G'MIC generally reads, writes and displays data using
the
usual sRGB color space.
- G'MIC is able to manage 3d objects that may be read from files or generated by G'MIC
commands. A 3d object is stored as a one-column scalar image containing the object
data,
in the following order: { magic_number; sizes; vertices; primitives; colors;
opacities }.
These 3d representations can be processed as regular images.
(see command '-split3d' for accessing each of these 3d object data separately).
- Be aware that usual file formats may be sometimes not adapted to store all the
available
image data, since G'MIC uses float-valued image buffers. For instance, saving an
image
that was initially loaded as a 16bits/channel image, as a .jpg file will result in a
loss of information. Use the G'MIC-specific file extensions .cimgz or .gmz to ensure
that all data precision are preserved when saving images.
- Sometimes, file options may/must be set for file formats:
. Video files: Only sub-frames of an image sequence may be loaded, using the input
expression 'filename.ext,[first_frame[,last_frame[,step]]]'.
Set 'last_frame==-1' to tell it must be the last frame of the video.
Set 'step' to 0 to force an opened video file to be opened/closed.
Output framerate and codec can be also set by using the output expression
'filename.avi,_fps,_codec,_keep_open={ 0 | 1 }'.
'codec' is a 4-char string (see http://www.fourcc.org/codecs.php) or '0' for the
default codec.
'keep_open$' tells if the output video file must be kept open for appending new
frames afterwards.
. .cimg[z] files: Only crops and sub-images of .cimg files can be loaded, using the
input
expressions 'filename.cimg,N0,N1', 'filename.cimg,N0,N1,x0,x1',
'filename.cimg,N0,N1,x0,y0,x1,y1', 'filename.cimg,N0,N1,x0,y0,z0,x1,y1,z1' or
'filename.cimg,N0,N1,x0,y0,z0,c0,x1,y1,z1,c1'.
Specifying '-1' for one coordinates stands for the maximum possible value.
Output expression 'filename.cimg[z][,datatype]' can be used to force the output
pixel type.
'datatype' can be { uchar | char | ushort | short | uint | int | ulong | long |
float | double }.
. .raw binary files: Image dimensions and input pixel type may be specified when
loading
.raw files with input expresssion
'filename.raw[,datatype][,width][,height[,depth[,dim]]]]'.
If no dimensions are specified, the resulting image is a one-column vector with
maximum possible height. Pixel type can also be specified with the output
expression 'filename.raw[,datatype]'.
'datatype' can be { uchar | char | ushort | short | uint | int | ulong | long |
float | double }.
. .yuv files: Image dimensions must be specified, and only sub-frames of an image
sequence may be loaded, using the input expression
'filename.yuv,width,height[,first_frame[,last_frame[,step]]]'.
. .tiff files: Only sub-images of multi-pages tiff files can be loaded, using the
input
expression 'filename.tif,[first_frame,[last_frame,[step]]]'.
Output expression 'filename.tiff,[datatype[,compression[,force_multipage]]' can be
used to
specify the output pixel type, as well as the compression method.
'datatype' can be { uchar | char | ushort | short | uint | int | ulong | long |
float | double }.
'compression' can be { none | lzw | jpeg } and 'force_multipage can be { 0=no |
1=yes }.
. .gif files: Animated gif files can be saved, using the input expression
'filename.gif,fps>0,nb_loops'.
Specify 'nb_loops=0' to get an infinite number of animation loops (default).
. .jpeg files: The output quality may be specified (in %), using the output expression
'filename.jpg,30' (here, to get a 30% quality output). '100%' is the default.
. .mnc files: The output header can set from another file, using the output expression
'filename.mnc,header_template.mnc'.
. .pan, .cpp, .hpp, .c and .h files: The output datatype can be selected with output
expression
'filename[,datatype]'.
'datatype' can be { uchar | char | ushort | short | uint | int | ulong | long |
float | double }.
. .gmic files: These filenames are assumed to be G'MIC custom commands files. Loading
such a file will add the commands it defines to the interpreter. Debug information
can be
enabled/disabled by the input expression 'filename.gmic,add_debug_info={ 0 | 1 }'.
. Inserting 'ext:' on the beginning of a filename (e.g. 'jpg:filename') forces G'MIC
to
read/write the file as it would have been done if it had the specified extension
'.ext'.
- Some input/output formats and options may not be supported, depending on the
configuration flags
set during the build of the G'MIC software.
8. Substitution rules
------------------
- G'MIC items containing '$' or '{}' are substituted before being interpreted.
Use these substituting expressions to access various data from the interpreter
environment.
- '$name' and '${name}' are both substituted by the value of the specified named
variable
(set previously by the item 'name=value'). If this variable has not been already set,
the expression is substituted by the highest positive indice of the named image
'[name]'.
If no image has this name, the expression is substituted by the value of the
OS environment variable with same name (it may be thus an empty string).
The following reserved variables are predefined by the G'MIC interpreter:
. '$!': The current number of images in the list.
. '$>' and '$<': The increasing/decreasing indice of the latest (currently running)
'repeat..done' loop.
. '$/': The current call stack. Stack items are separated by slashes '/'.
. '$|': The current value (expressed in seconds) of a millisecond precision timer.
. '$^': The current verbosity level.
. '$_cpus': The number of computation cores available on your machine.
. '$_pid': The current process identifier, as an integer.
. '$_prerelease': For pre-releases only, the date of the pre-release as 'mmddyy'.
For stable releases, this variable is not defined.
. '$_version': A 3-digits number telling about the current version of the G'MIC
interpreter.
(currently '168').
. '$_vt100': Set to 1 (default value) if colored text output is allowed on the
console.
. '$_path_rc': The path to the G'MIC folder used to store resources and
configuration files
(its value is OS-dependent).
. '$_path_user': The path to the G'MIC user file .gmic (its value is OS-dependent).
- '${"command line"}' is substituted by the status value set by the execution of the
specified command line (see command '-status' to learn more about status).
Expression '${}' thus stands for the current status value.
- '{'string'}' (single quotes) is substituted by the sequence of ascii codes that
compose
the specified string, separated by commas ','. For instance, item '{'foo'}' is
substituted
by '102,111,111'.
- '{`value1,...,valueN`}' (backquotes) is substituted by the string whose ascii sequence
corresponds to the list of values specified between the backquotes.
For instance, item '{`102,111,111`}' is substituted by 'foo'.
- '{string1'=='string2}' is substituted by 0 or 1, whether the two specified strings
coincide
or not (test is case-sensitive).
- '{string1'!='string2}' is substituted by 0 or a non-null integer, whether the two
strings
beside the operator are different or not (test is case-sensitive). For instance,
item '{foo'!='foo}' is substituted by '0' and '{foo'!='FOO}' by '32'.
- '{image,feature}' is substituted by a specific feature of the image [image].
'image' can be either an image number or an image name. It can be also eluded.
In which case, the last image '[-1]' of the list is considered for the requested
feature.
Specified 'feature' can be one of:
. 'b': The image basename (i.e. filename without the folder path nor extension).
. 'c': The (x,y,z,c) coordinates of the minimum value, separated by commas ','.
. 'C': The (x,y,z,c) coordinates of the maximum value, separated by commas ','.
. 'f': The image folder name.
. 'n': The image name or filename (if the image has been read from a file).
. 't': The text string from the image values regarded as ascii codes.
. 'x': The image extension (i.e last characters after the last '.' in the image
name).
. '^ : The sequence of all image values, separated by commas ','.
. '[subset]': The sequence of image values corresponding to the specified subset,
and separated by commas ','.
. Any other 'feature' is considered as a mathematical expression associated to
the image [image] and is substituted by the result of its evaluation (float
value).
For instance, expression '{0,w+h}' is substituted by the sum of the width and
height
of the first image (see section 'Mathematical expressions' for more details).
If a mathematical expression starts with an underscore '_', the resulting value
is
truncated to a readable format. For instance, item '{_pi}' is substituted by
'3.14159'
(while '{pi}' is '3.141592653589793').
- '{*}' is substituted by the visibility state of the instant display window [0]
(can be { 0=closed | 1=visible }).
- '{*,feature}' or '{*indice,feature}' is substituted by a specific feature of the
instant display window #0 (or #indice, if specified). Requested 'feature' can be:
. 'w': display width (i.e. width of the display area managed by the window).
. 'h': display height (i.e. height of the display area managed by the window).
. 'wh': display width x display height.
. 'd': window width (i.e. width of the window widget).
. 'e': window height (i.e. height of the window widget).
. 'de': window width x window height.
. 'u': screen width (actually independent on the window size).
.' v': screen height (actually independent on the window size).
. 'uv': screen width x screen height.
. 'n': current normalization type of the instant display.
. 't': window title of the instant display.
. 'x': X-coordinate of the mouse position (or -1, if outside the display area).
. 'y': Y-coordinate of the mouse position (or -1, if outside the display area).
. 'b': state of the mouse buttons { 1=left-but. | 2=right-but. | 4=middle-but. }.
. 'o': state of the mouse wheel.
. 'k': decimal code of the pressed key if any, 0 otherwise.
. 'c': boolean (0 or 1) telling if the instant display has been closed recently.
. 'r': boolean telling if the instant display has been resized recently.
. 'm': boolean telling if the instant display has been moved recently.
. Any other 'feature' stands for a keycode name (in capital letters), and is
substituted
by a boolean describing the current key state { 0=pressed | 1=released }.
. You can also prepend a hyphen '-' to a 'feature' (that supports it) to flush the
corresponding event immediately after reading its state (works for keys, mouse
and window events).
- Item substitution is never performed in items between double quotes. One must break
the quotes
to enable substitution if needed, as in "3+8 kg = "{3+8}" kg". Using double quotes
is then a convenient way to disable the substitutions mechanism in items, when
necessary.
- One can also disable the substitution mechanism on items outside double quotes, by
escaping the '{','}' or '$' characters, as in '\{3+4\}\ doesn't\ evaluate'.
9. Mathematical expressions
------------------------
- G'MIC has an embedded mathematical parser. It is used to evaluate expressions inside
braces '{}', or formulas in commands that may take one as an argument (e.g. '-fill').
- When used as a command argument, a formula is evaluated for each pixel of the selected
images.
- The mathematical parser understands the following set of functions, operators and
variables:
_ Usual operators: || (logical or), && (logical and), | (bitwise or), & (bitwise and),
!=, ==, <=, >=, <, >, << (left bitwise shift), >> (right bitwise shift), -, +, *,
/,
% (modulo), ^ (power), ! (logical not), ~ (bitwise not),
++, --, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=, &=, |=, ^=, >>=, <<= (in-place operators).
_ Usual functions: sin(), cos(), tan(), asin(), acos(), atan(), atan2(), sinh(),
cosh(), tanh(),
sinc(), hypoth(), gauss(), abs(), sign(), log(), log2(), log10(), exp(), sqrt(),
cbrt(), cut(),
narg(), arg(), isval(), isnan(), isinf(), isint(), isbool(), isfile(), isdir(),
isin(),
rol() (left bit rotation), ror() (right bit rotation), min(), max(), argmin(),
argmax(),
med(), kth(), round(), int().
. 'atan2(x,y)' is the version of 'atan()' with two arguments 'y' and 'x' (as in
C/C++).
. 'hypoth(x,y)' computes the square root of the sum of the squares of x and y.
. 'gauss(x,_sigma)' returns 'exp(-x^2/(2*s^2))/sqrt(2*pi*sigma^2)'.
. 'cut(value,min,max)' returns value if it is in range [min,max], or min or max
otherwise.
. 'narg(a_1,...,a_N)' returns the number of specified arguments (here, N).
. 'arg(i,a_1,..,a_N)' returns the ith argument a_i.
. 'isval()', 'isnan()', 'isinf()', 'isint()', 'isbool()' test the type of
the given number or expression, and return 0 (false) or 1 (true).
. 'isfile()' (resp. 'isdir()') returns 0 (false) or 1 (true) whether its argument
is a valid path to a file (resp. to a directory) or not.
. 'isin(v,a_1,...,a_n)' returns 0 (false) or 1 (true) whether the first value 'v'
appears
in the set of other values 'a_i'.
. 'min()', 'max()', 'argmin()', 'argmax()', 'med()' and 'kth()' can be called with
an arbitrary number of arguments.
. 'round(value,rounding_value,direction)' returns a rounded value.
'direction' can be { -1=to-lowest | 0=to-nearest | 1=to-highest }.
_ Variable names below are pre-defined. They can be overloaded.
. 'w': width of the associated image, if any (0 otherwise).
. 'h': height of the associated image, if any (0 otherwise).
. 'd': depth of the associated image, if any (0 otherwise).
. 's': spectrum of the associated image, if any (0 otherwise).
. 'r': shared state of the associated image, if any (0 otherwise).
. 'wh': shortcut for width x height.
. 'whd': shortcut for width x height x depth.
. 'whds': shortcut for width x height x depth x spectrum (i.e. total number of
pixel values).
. 'i': current processed pixel value (i.e. value located at (x,y,z,c)) in the
associated image, if any (0 otherwise).
. 'iN': Nth channel value of current processed pixel (i.e. value located at
(x,y,z,N)) in
the associated image, if any (0 otherwise). 'N' must be an integer in range
[0,7].
. 'R','G','B' and 'A' are equivalent to 'i0', 'i1', 'i2' and 'i3' respectively.
. 'im','iM','ia','iv','is','ip','ic': Respectively the minimum, maximum, average
values,
variance, sum, product and median value of the associated image, if any (0
otherwise).
. 'xm','ym','zm','cm': The pixel coordinates of the minimum value in the associated
image, if any (0 otherwise).
. 'xM','yM','zM','cM': The pixel coordinates of the maximum value in the associated
image, if any (0 otherwise).
. You may add '#ind' to any of the variable name above to retrieve the information
for any
numbered image [ind] of the list (when this makes sense). For instance 'ia#0'
denotes the
average value of the first image).
. 'x': current processed column of the associated image, if any (0 otherwise).
. 'y': current processed row of the associated image, if any (0 otherwise).
. 'z': current processed slice of the associated image, if any (0 otherwise).
. 'c': current processed channel of the associated image, if any (0 otherwise).

. 'pi': value of pi, i.e. 3.1415926..
. 'u': a random value between [0,1], following a uniform distribution.
. 'g': a random value, following a gaussian distribution of variance 1
(roughly in [-6,6]).
. 'interpolation': value of the default interpolation mode used when reading pixel
values with
the pixel access operators (i.e. when the interpolation argument is not
explicitly specified,
see below for more details on pixel access operators).
. 'boundary': value of the default boundary conditions used when reading pixel
values with
the pixel access operators (i.e. when the boundary condition argument is not
explicitly specified,
see below for more details on pixel access operators).
_ Special operators can be used:
. ';': expression separator. The returned value is always the last encountered
expression. For instance expression '1;2;pi' is evaluated as 'pi'.
. '=': variable assignment. Variables in mathematical parser can only refer to
numerical values. Variable names are case-sensitive. Use this operator in
conjunction with ';' to define more complex evaluable expressions, such as
't=cos(x);3*t^2+2*t+1'.
These variables remain local to the mathematical parser and cannot be accessed
outside the evaluated expression.
_ The following specific functions are also defined:
. 'normP(u1,...,un)' computes the LP-norm of the specified vector
(P being an unsigned integer or 'inf').
. 'u(max)' or 'u(min,max)': return a random value between [0,max] or [min,max],
following a uniform distribution.
. 'i(_a,_b,_c,_d,_interpolation_type,_boundary_conditions)': return the value of
the pixel
located at position (a,b,c,d) in the associated image, if any (0 otherwise).
'interpolation_type' can be { 0=nearest neighbor | other=linear }.
'boundary_conditions' can be { 0=dirichlet | 1=neumann | 2=periodic }.
Omitted coordinates are replaced by their default values which are respectively
x, y, z, c, interpolation and boundary.
For instance command '-fill 0.5*(i(x+1)-i(x-1))' will estimate the X-derivative
of an image with a classical finite difference scheme.
. 'j(_dx,_dy,_dz,_dc,_interpolation_type,_boundary_conditions)' does the same for
the pixel
located at position (x+dx,y+dy,z+dz,c+dc) (pixel access relative to the current
coordinates).
. 'i[offset,_boundary_conditions]' returns the value of the pixel located at
specified 'offset'
in the associated image buffer (or 0 if offset is out-of-bounds).
. 'j[offset,_boundary_conditions]' does the same for an offset relative to the
current pixel (x,y,z,c).
. 'i(#ind,_a,_b,_c,_d,_interpolation,_boundary)',
'j(#ind,_dx,_dy,_dz,_dc,_interpolation,_boundary)',
'i[#ind,offset,_boundary]' and 'i[offset,_boundary]' are similar expressions
used to access
pixel values for any numbered image [ind] of the list.
. 'if(condition,expr_then,_expr_else)': return value of 'expr_then' or 'expr_else',
depending on the value of 'condition' (0=false, other=true). 'expr_else' can be
omitted in which case 0 is returned if the condition does not hold. Using the
ternary operator
'condition?expr_then[:expr_else]' gives an equivalent expression.
For instance, G'MIC commands '-fill if(x%10==0,255,i)' and '-fill x%10?i:255'
both draw blank
vertical lines on every 10th column of an image.
. 'dowhile(expression,_condition)' repeats the evaluation of 'expression' until
'condition'
vanishes (or until 'expression' vanishes if no 'condition' is specified). For
instance,
the expression: 'if(N<2,N,n=N-1;F0=0;F1=1;dowhile(F2=F0+F1;F0=F1;F1=F2,n=n-1))'
returns
the Nth value of the Fibonacci sequence, for N>=0 (e.g., 46368 for N=24).
'dowhile(expression,condition)' always evaluates the specified expression at
least once,
then check for the nullity condition. When done, it returns the last value of
'expression'.
. 'for(init,condition,_procedure,body)' first evaluates the expression 'init', then
iteratively
evaluates 'body' (followed by 'procedure' if specified) while 'condition' is
verified
(i.e. not zero). It may happen that no iteration is done, in which case the
function
returns 0. Otherwise, it returns the last value of 'body'.
For instance, the expression:
'if(N<2,N,for(n=N;F0=0;F1=1,n=n-1,F2=F0+F1;F0=F1;F1=F2))'
returns the Nth value of the Fibonacci sequence, for N>=0 (e.g., 46368 for
N=24).
. 'whiledo(condition,expression)' is exactly the same as
'for(init,condition,expression)'
without the specification of an initializing expression.
. 'date(attr,path)' returns the date attribute for the given 'path' (file or
directory),
with 'attr' being { 0=year | 1=month | 2=day | 3=day of week | 4=hour | 5=minute
| 6=second }.
. 'date(_attr) returns the specified attribute for the current (locale) date.
. 'print(expression) prints the value of the specified expression on the console
(and returns its value).
. 'debug(expression) prints detailed debug information about the sequence of
operations
done by the math parser to evaluate the expression (and returns its value).
. 'init(expression) evaluates the specified expression only once, even when
multiple
evaluations are required (e.g. in '-fill init(foo=0);++foo').
- Multi-threaded and in-place evaluation:
. If your image data are large enough and you have several CPUs available, it is
likely that
the math expression passed to a '-fill' or '-input' command is evaluated in
parallel, using
multiple computation threads.
. Starting an expression with '*' forces the evaluations required for an image to
be run in
parallel, even if the amount of data to process is small (beware, it may be
slower to evaluate!).
. If the specified expression starts with '>' or '<', the pixel access operators
'i(), i[], j()' and 'j[]' return values of the image being currently modified,
in forward ('>') or backward ('<') order. The multi-threading evaluation of the
expression is
also disabled in this case.
_ Expressions 'i(_#ind,x,_y,_z,_c)=value', 'j(_#ind,x,_y,_z,_c)=value',
'i[_#ind,offset]=value' and
'j[_#ind,offset]=value' set a pixel value at a different location than the running
one in the
image [ind] (or in the associated image if argument '#ind' is omitted), either with
global
coordinates/offsets (with 'i(...)' and 'i[...]'), or relatively to the current
position (x,y,z,c)
(with 'j(...)' and 'j[...]'). These expressions always return 'value'.
- The last image of the list is always associated to the evaluations of '{expressions}',
e.g. G'MIC sequence '256,128 -f {w}' will create a 256x128 image filled with value
256.
10. Image and data viewers
----------------------
- G'MIC has some very handy embedded visualization modules, for 1d signals
(command '-plot'), 1d/2d/3d images (command '-display') and 3d objects
(command '-display3d'). It manages interactive views of the selected image data.
- The following keyboard shortcuts are available in the interactive viewers:
. (mousewheel): Zoom in/out.
. CTRL+D: Increase window size.
. CTRL+C: Decrease window size.
. CTRL+R: Reset window size.
. CTRL+W: Close window.
. CTRL+F: Toggle fullscreen mode.
. CTRL+S: Save current window snapshot as numbered file 'gmic_xxxx.bmp'.
. CTRL+O: Save current instance of the viewed data, as numbered file
'gmic_xxxx.cimgz'.
- Shortcuts specific to the 1d/2d/3d image viewer (command '-display') are:
. CTRL+A: Switch cursor mode.
. CTRL+P: Play z-stack of frames as a movie (for volumetric 3d images).
. CTRL+V: Show/hide 3D view (for volumetric 3d images).
. CTRL+(mousewheel): Go up/down.
. SHIFT+(mousewheel): Go left/right.
. Numeric PAD: Zoom in/out (+/-) and move through zoomed image (digits).
. BACKSPACE: Reset zoom scale.
- Shortcuts specific to the 3d object viewer (command '-display3d') are:
. (mouse)+(left mouse button): Rotate 3d object.
. (mouse)+(right mouse button): Zoom 3d object.
. (mouse)+(middle mouse button): Shift 3d object.
. CTRL+F1 .. CTRL+F6: Toggle between different 3d rendering modes.
. CTRL+Z: Enable/disable z-buffered rendering.
. CTRL+A: Show/hide 3d axes.
. CTRL+G: Save 3d object, as numbered file 'gmic_xxxx.off'.
. CTRL+T: Switch between single/double-sided 3d modes.
11. Adding custom commands
----------------------
- New custom commands can be added by the user, through the use of G'MIC custom commands
files.
- A command file is a simple ascii text file, where each line starts either by
'command_name: command_definition' or 'command_definition (continuation)'.
- At startup, G'MIC automatically includes user's command file $HOME/.gmic (on Unix) or
%APPDATA%/user.gmic (on Windows). The CLI tool 'gmic' automatically runs the command
'-cli_start' if defined.
- Custom command names must use character set [a-zA-Z0-9_] and cannot start with a
number.
- Any ' # comment' expression found in a custom commands file is discarded by the G'MIC
parser, wherever it is located in a line.
- In a custom command, the following $-expressions are recognized and substituted:
. '$*' is substituted by a copy of the specified string of arguments.
. '$"*"' is substituted by a copy of the specified string of arguments, each being
double-quoted.
. '$#' is substituted by the maximum indice of known arguments (either specified by
the
user or set to a default value in the custom command).
. '$?' is substituted by a string telling about the command subset restriction (only
useful when custom commands need to output descriptive messages).
. '$i' and '${i}' are both substituted by the i^th specified argument. Negative
indices
such as '${-j}' are allowed and refer to the j^th latest argument. '$0' is
substituted
by the custom command name.
. '${i=default}' is substituted by the value of $i (if defined) or by its new value
set
to 'default' otherwise ('default' may be a $-expression as well).
. '${subset}' is substituted by the argument values (separated by commas ',') of a
specified argument subset. For instance expression '${2--2}' is substitued by all
specified command arguments except the first and the last one. Expression '${^0}'
is
then substituted by all arguments of the invoked command (eq. to '$*' if all
specified
arguments have indeed a value).
. '$=var' is substituted by the set of instructions that will assign each argument $i
to the named variable 'var$i' (for i in [0..$#]). This is particularly useful when
a
custom command want to manage variable numbers of arguments. Variables names must
use character set [a-zA-Z0-9_] and cannot start with a number.
- These particular $-expressions for custom commands are always substituted, even in
double quoted
items or when the dollar sign '$' is escaped with a backslash '\'. To avoid
substitution,
place an empty double quoted string just after the '$' (as in '$""1').
- Specifying arguments may be skipped when invoking a custom command, by replacing them
by
commas ',' as in expression '-flower ,,3'. Omitted arguments are set to their default
values, which must be thus explicitly defined in the code of the corresponding custom
command (using default argument expressions as '${1=default}').
- If one numbered argument required by a custom command misses a value, an error is
thrown by the G'MIC interpreter.
12. List of commands
----------------
All available G'MIC commands are listed below, classified by themes.
When several choices of command arguments are possible, they appear separated by '|'.
An argument specified inside '[]' or starting by '_' is optional except when standing
for an
existing image [image], where 'image'' can be either an indice number or an image name.
In this case, the '[]' characters are mandatory when writing the item.
A command marked with '(+)' is one of the native commands.
Note also that all images that serve as illustrations in this reference documentation
are normalized
in [0,255] before being displayed. You may need to do this explicitly (command
'-normalize 0,255')
if you want to save and view images with the same aspect than those illustrated in the
example codes.

-pass (+):
_shared_state={ 0=non-shared (copy) | 1=shared | 2=adaptive }
Insert images from parent context of a custom command or a local environment.
Command selection (if any) stands for a selection of images in the parent context.
By default (adaptive shared state), selected images are inserted in a shared state
if they do
not belong to the context (selection) of the current custom command or local
environment as
well.
Typical use of command '-pass' concerns the design of custom commands that take
images as
arguments.
Default value: 'shared_state=2'.
-plot (+):
_plot_type,_vertex_type,_xmin,_xmax,_ymin,_ymax,_exit_on_anykey={
0 | 1 } |

window [0] if
opened).
'feature_type' can be { 0=point | 1=segment | 2=rectangle | 3=ellipse }.
Arguments 'X','Y','Z' determine the initial selection view, for 3d volumetric
images.
The retrieved feature is returned as a 3d vector (if 'feature_type==0') or as a 6d
vector
(if 'feature_type!=0') containing the feature coordinates.
The coordinates of the last selected features are also returned as the status
value.
Default values: 'X=Y=Z=(undefined)' and 'exit_on_anykey=0'.
-serialize (+):
_datatype,_is_compressed={ 0 | 1 },_store_names={ 0 | 1 }
Serialize selected list of images into a single image, optionnally in a compressed
form.
'datatype' can be { uchar | char | ushort | short | uint | int | ulong | long |
float | double
}.
Specify 'datatype' if all selected images have a range of values constrained to a
particular
datatype, in order to minimize the memory footprint.
The resulting image has only integers values in [0,255] and can then be saved as a
raw image of
unsigned chars (doing so will output a valid .cimg[z] or .gmz file).
If 'store_names' is set to '1', serialization uses the .gmz format to store data
in memory
(otherwise the .cimg[z] format).
Default values: 'datatype=float', 'is_compressed=1' and 'store_names=1'.

If no argument is specified, a random value is used as the random generator seed.
-testimage2d:
_width>0,_height>0,_spectrum>0

Set argument to '*' for discarding all existing custom commands.
-uniform_distribution:
nb_levels>=1,spectrum>=1
Input set of uniformly distributed N-d points in [0,1]^N.
-unserialize (+):
Recreate lists of images from serialized image buffers, obtained with command
'-serialize'.
-update:
Update commands from the latest definition file on the G'MIC server.
This requires an active Internet connection and an access to the external
tools 'curl' or 'wget'.
Once the update has been downloaded, running 'gmic' makes it use automatically.
(eq. to '-up').
-verbose (+):
level |
{ + | - }
Set or increment/decrement the verbosity level. Default level is 0.
(eq. to '-v').
When 'level'>=0, G'MIC log messages are displayed on the standard error (stderr).
Default value: 'level=0'.
-wait (+):
delay |
(no arg)
Wait for a given delay (in ms), optionally since the last call to '-wait'.
or wait for a user event occuring on the selected instant display windows.
'delay' can be { <0=delay+flush events | 0=event | >0=delay }.
Command selection (if any) stands for instant display window indices instead of
image indices.
If no window indices are specified and if 'delay' is positive, the command results
in a 'hard' sleep during specified delay.
Default value: 'delay=0'.
-warn (+):
_force_visible={ 0 | 1 },_message
Print specified warning message, on the standard error (stderr).
Command selection (if any) stands for displayed call stack subset instead of image
indices.
-window (+):
_width[%]>=-1,_height[%]>=-1,_normalization,_fullscreen,_pos_x[%],_pos_y[%],
_title
Display selected images into an instant display window with specified size,
normalization type,
fullscreen mode and title.
(eq. to '-w').
If 'width' or 'height' is set to -1, the corresponding dimension is adjusted to
the window
or image size.
When arguments 'pos_x' and 'pos_y' are both different than -1, the window is moved
to
the specified coordinates.
'width'=0 or 'height'=0 closes the instant display window.
'normalization' can be { -1=keep same | 0=none | 1=always | 2=1st-time | 3=auto }.
'fullscreen' can be { -1=keep same | 0=no | 1=yes }.

---------------
'gmic' is a generic image processing tool which can be used in a wide variety of
situations.
The few examples below illustrate possible uses of this tool:
- View a list of images:
gmic file1.bmp file2.jpeg
- Convert an image file:
gmic input.bmp -o output.jpg
- Create a volumetric image from a movie sequence:
gmic input.mpg -a z -o output.hdr
- Compute image gradient norm:
gmic input.bmp -gradient_norm
- Denoise a color image:
gmic image.jpg -denoise 30,10 -o denoised.jpg
- Compose two images using overlay layer blending:
gmic image1.jpg image2.jpg -blend overlay -o blended.jpg
- Evaluate a mathematical expression:
gmic -e "cos(pi/4)^2+sin(pi/4)^2={cos(pi/4)^2+sin(pi/4)^2}"
- Plot a 2d function:
gmic 1000,1,1,2 -f "X=3*(x-500)/500;X^2*sin(3*X^2)+if(c==0,u(0,-1),cos(X*10))" -plot
- Plot a 3d elevated function in random colors:
gmic 128,128,1,3,"u(0,255)" -plasma 10,3 -blur 4 -sharpen 10000 \
-elevation3d. "'X=(x-64)/6;Y=(y-64)/6;100*exp(-(X^2+Y^2)/30)*abs(cos(X)*sin(Y))'"
- Plot the isosurface of a 3d volume:
gmic -m3d 5 -md3d 5 -db3d 0 -isosurface3d "'x^2+y^2+abs(z)^abs(4*cos(x*y*z*3))'",3
- Render a G'MIC 3d logo:
gmic 0 -text G\'MIC,0,0,53,1,1,1,1 -expand_xy 10,0 -blur 1 -n 0,100 --plasma 0.4 -+ \
-blur 1 -elevation3d -0.1 -md3d 4
- Generate a 3d ring of torii:
gmic -repeat 20 -torus3d 15,2 -color3d. "{u(60,255)},{u(60,255)},{u(60,255)}" \
-*3d. 0.5,1 -if "{$>%2}" -r3d. 0,1,0,90 -endif -+3d. 70 -+3d \
-r3d 0,0,1,18 -done -md3d 3 -m3d 5 -db3d 0
- Create a vase from a 3d isosurface:
gmic -md3d 4 -isosurface3d "'x^2+2*abs(y/2)*sin(2*y)^2+z^2-3',0" -sphere3d 1.5 \
--3d. 0,5 -plane3d 15,15 -r3d. 1,0,0,90 -center3d. -+3d. 0,3.2 \
-color3d. 180,150,255 -color3d.. 128,255,0 -color3d... 255,128,0 -+3d
- Display filtered webcam stream:
gmic -apply_camera \"--mirror x --mirror y -+ -/ 4\"
