<p class="magick-description">The <a href="command-line-options.html#define">-define</a> command-line option adds specific global settings generally used to control coders and image processing operations.</p>
<p>This option creates one or more definitions for coders and decoders to use
while reading and writing image data. Definitions are generally used to
control image file format coder modules, and image processing operations,
beyond what is provided by normal means. Defined settings are listed in <a href="command-line-options.html#verbose">-verbose</a> information ("<code>info:</code>" output format) as "Artifacts". </p>
<p>If <var>value</var> is missing for a definition, an empty-valued
definition of a flag is created with that name. This used to control on/off
options. Use <a href="command-line-options.html#define">-define keys</a> to remove definitions
previously created. Use <a href="command-line-options.html#define">+define "*"</a> to remove all existing definitions.</p>
<p>The same 'artifact' settings can also be defined using the <a href="command-line-options.html#set">-set "option:<var>key</var>" "<var>value</var>"</a> option, which also allows the use of <a href="escape.html" >Format and Print Image Properties</a> in the defined value. </p>
<p>The <var>option</var> and <var>key</var> are case-independent (they are
converted to lowercase for use within the decoders) while the <var>value</var>
is case-dependent.</p>
<p>Such settings are global in scope, and affect all images and operations. </p>
<pre class="highlight"><code>magick bilevel.tif -define ps:imagemask eps3:stencil.ps
</code></pre>
<p>Set attributes of the image registry by prefixing the value with
<code>registry:</code>. For example, to set a temporary path to put work files,
use:</p>
<pre class="highlight"><code>-define registry:temporary-path=/data/tmp
</code></pre>
<p>Here is a list of recognized defines:</p>

full dynamic range. The ! flag can be used in combination with a factor or
percent. The factor or percent is then applied after the automatic scaling.
An example is 50%!. This produces a result 50% darker than full dynamic
range scaling. The ^ flag assures the kernel is 'zero-summing', for
example when some values are positive and some are negative as in edge
detection kernels. The origin addition adds that value to the center
pixel of the kernel. This produces an effect that is like adding the image
that many times to the result of the filtered image. The typical value
is 1 so that the original image is added to the result of the convolution.
The default is 0.</td>

Catrom, Mitchel, and Hermite, as well as the Parzen cubic windowing

v6.7.6-10, this option was known as "filter:alpha" (an inheritance
from the very old "zoom" program). It was changed to bring the function
in line with more modern academic research usage and better assign it
be more definitive. The default value is 6.5</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>filter:lobes=<var>count</var></td>
<td>Set the number of lobes to use for the Sinc/Bessel filter.
This is an alternate way of specifying the 'support' range of the filter,
that is designed to be more suited to windowed filters, especially when
used for image distorts.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>filter:sigma=<var>value</var></td>
<td>Set the 'sigma' value used to define the Gaussian filter.
The default sigma value is '0.5'. It only affects the Gaussian filter,
but does not shrink (but may enlarge) the filter's 'support'.
It can be used to generate very small blurs, but without the filter
'missing' pixels due to using a small support setting.
A larger value of '0.707' (a value of '1/sqrt(2)') is another
common setting.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>filter:support=<var>radius</var></td>
<td>Set the filter support radius. It defines how large the filter
should be and thus directly defines how slow the filtered resampling
process is. All filters have a default 'preferred' support size.
Some filters like Lagrange and windowed filters adjust themselves
depending on this value. With simple filters this value either does
nothing (but slow the resampling), or will clip the filter function
in a detrimental way.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>filter:verbose=<var>true</var></td>
<td>Enable printing of information about the final internal
filter selection to standard output. This includes a commented header
on the filter settings being used and data allowing the filter weights
to be easily graphed. Note however that some filters are internally
defined in terms of other filters. The Lanczos filter, for example,
is defined in terms of a SincFast windowed SincFast filter, while
the Mitchell filter is defined as a general Cubic family filter
with specific 'B' and 'C' settings.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>filter:window=<var>filter_function</var></td>
<td>The IIR (infinite impulse response) filters Sinc and Jinc are
windowed (brought down to zero over the defined support range) with
the given filter. This allows you to specify a filter function to be
used as a windowing function for these IIR filters. Many of the defined
filters are actually windowing functions for these IIR filters. A typical
choices is Box, (which effectively turns off the windowing function).</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>filter:window-support=<var>radius</var></td>
<td>Scale the windowing function to this size. This causes
the windowing (or self-windowing Lagrange filter) to act is if the
support window is larger than what is actually supplied to the calling
operator. The filter, however, is still clipped to the true support
size that is provided. If unset, this will equal the normal filter
support size.</td>

<td>When selecting image <a href="command-line-processing.html">frames</a>, the default is to step one frame at a time through a list, e.g. [0-3], returns frames 0, 1, 2, and 3. Set the step to 2 in this example and we instead get frames 0 and 2.</td>

<td>Set the image encoding format use when writing a C-style header.
<var>format</var> can be any output format supported by ImageMagick

(which can include the word <var>date</var>, the word
<var>all</var>, or the word <var>none</var>).
Although PNG chunk-names are case-dependent, you can use all lowercase
names if you prefer.</p>
<p>The "include-chunk" and "exclude-chunk" lists only affect the behavior
of the PNG encoder and have no effect on the PNG decoder.</p>
<p>As a special case, if the <code>sRGB</code> chunk is excluded and
the <code>gAMA</code> chunk is included, the <code>gAMA</code> chunk will
only be written if gamma is not 1/2.2, since most decoders assume
sRGB and gamma=1/2.2 when no colorspace information is included in
the PNG file. Because the list is processed from left to right, you
can achieve this with a single define:</p>
<pre class="highlight"><code>-define png:include-chunk=none,gAMA
</code></pre>
<p>As a special case, if the <code>sRGB</code> chunk is not excluded and
the PNG encoder recognizes that the image contains the sRGB ICC profile,
the PNG encoder will write the <code>sRGB</code> chunk instead of the
entire ICC profile. To force the PNG encoder to write the sRGB
profile as an <code>iCCP</code> chunk in the output PNG instead of the
<code>sRGB</code> chunk, exclude the <code>sRGB</code> chunk.</p>
<p>The critical PNG chunks <code>IHDR</code>, <code>PLTE</code>,
<code>IDAT</code>, and <code>IEND</code> cannot be excluded. Any such
entries appearing in the list will be ignored.</p>
<p>If the ancillary PNG <code>tRNS</code> chunk is excluded and the
image has transparency, the PNG colortype is forced to be 4 or 6
(GRAY_ALPHA or RGBA). If the image is not transparent, then the
<code>tRNS</code> chunk isn't written anyhow, and there is no effect
on the PNG colortype of the output image.</p>
<p>The <a href="command-line-options.html#strip">-strip</a> option does the equivalent of the
following for PNG output:</p>
<pre class="highlight"><code>-define png:exclude-chunk=EXIF,iCCP,iTXt,sRGB,tEXt,zCCP,zTXt,date</code></pre>
<p>The default behavior is to include all known PNG ancillary chunks
plus ImageMagick's private <code>vpAg</code> ("virtual page") chunk,
and to exclude all PNG chunks that are unknown to ImageMagick,
regardless of their PNG "copy-safe" status as described in the
PNG specification.</p>
<p>Any chunk names that are not known to ImageMagick are ignored
if they appear in either the "include-chunk" or "exclude-chunk" list.
The ancillary chunks currently known to ImageMagick are
<code>bKGD</code>, <code>cHRM</code>, <code>gAMA</code>, <code>iCCP</code>,
<code>oFFs</code>, <code>pHYs</code>, <code>sRGB</code>, <code>tEXt</code>,
<code>tRNS</code>, <code>vpAg</code>, and <code>zTXt</code>.</p>
<p>You can also put <code>date</code> in the list to include or exclude
the "Date:create" and "Date:modify" text chunks that ImageMagick normally
inserts in the output PNG.</p></td>
