For a long time I wanted to change this. I am thinking about porting to a Java application. Java has two libraries for Image Magick: Jmagick and im4java. But Java has also its own functions to process graphics. Would it be better to use the Java functions (no dependencies) or Image Magick. If the latter: which is the better library? -- Cecil Westerhof Senior Software Engineer LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/cecilwesterhof
