sequence Miscellaneous Options: \-debug events display copious debugging information \-help print program options \-log format format of debugging information \-list type print a list of supported option arguments \-version print version information Use any setting or operator as an *output-option*. Only a limited number of setting are *input-option*. They include: -antialias, -caption, -density, -define, -encoding, -font, -pointsize, -size, and -texture as well as any of the miscellaneous options. By default, the image format of \`file' is determined by its magic number. To specify a particular image format, precede the filename with an image format name and a colon (i.e. ps:image) or specify the image type as the filename suffix (i.e. image.ps). Specify 'file' as '-' for standard input or output. # [SEE ALSO](#SEE_ALSO) [ImageMagick(1)](/man/os/imagemagick-7/ImageMagick.1) # [COPYRIGHT](#COPYRIGHT) **Copyright (C) 1999 ImageMagick Studio LLC.
