+GraphicsMagick (Image Processing System)
+
GraphicsMagick is the swiss army knife of image processing.
Provides a robust and efficient collection of tools and libraries
which support reading, writing, and manipulating an image in over
88 major formats including important formats like DPX, GIF, JPEG,
JPEG-2000, PNG, PDF, PNM, and TIFF.
+
+Starting with version 1.3.21, this build now includes PerlMagick, the
+perl language bindings for GraphicsMagick.
+
+This build can also include Tcl/Tk bindings (TclMagick). To do this,
+first 'removepkg GraphicsMagick' if an older version is installed. Then,
+run the build script, install the GraphicsMagick package, then run the
+build script again and reinstall the (newly-rebuilt) package. This has
+to be done on every version upgrade as well (though only if you need
+TclMagick, of course).
+
+Optional dependencies: Some file formats require extra libraries. These
+are all autodetected at build time.
+
+libwebp (.webp support)
+jbigkit (.jbg, .jbig support)
+dcraw (Raw camera files, various filename extensions)
+
+Unsupported: These file formats require software that isn't currently
+available on SBo. If you submit a build for one of these, please let
+me know so I can document it here.
+
+ralcgm (.cgm, Computer Graphics Metafile)
+hp2xx (.hpg, .hpgl, HP Graphics Language)
+flashpix (.fpx, not supported on Linux)
