Does it support image editing for example converting to other formats? I
read the NEWS entry and it only says displaying more formats.

Thanks.

Looking at "bzr diff -r ancestor:trunk", I see that you've fixed
most problems.  I still see a "let*\n" image-transform-properties, as
well as an ugly "))" on its own line in lisp/image-mode.el.  And also
there are comments using the form

   /* sadgewgf
      sfgsfg.
    */

whereas we use

   /* sadgewgf
      sfgsfg.  */

(with two spaces after the full-stop, of course).
And last but not least, the diff for src/image..c shows a lot of
unrelated changes, probably result of a "reindent the whole buffer" or
something like that.

So, once you've fixed those unimportant details, feel free to merge it,
Thanks,

Imagemagick is only used as a library to load and display new image
formats, and provide a couple of simple display transforms, such as
scaling and rotation.

Image editing is not within the scope of the patch.

As a side-note I have begun some code integrating Inkscape and Emacs,
which I think is a potentialy rather good match, but that aproach is
orthogonal to the imagemagick branch.

Thanks for that. Looks like a great feature to emacs ;)

Both of these are extremely useful for doc-view.  Currently, the former
is done by reconverting all pages to smaller/bigger PNGs and the latter
is impossible at all.

I'm looking forward to your merge.

Wow, I was just thinking about how preview-LaTeX can be made easier with
this new ability.

I come up with a complete blank.  Care to elaborate?

For example, display pdfs directly. In remote editing LaTeX files I then
don't need to have gs installed on that machine as long as my local
emacs can display it.

Cheers,

But imagemagick can't display pdf, or? (Maybe a fixed picture of it,
but that is not very comfortable if you actually want to view the pdf
file.)

According to http://www.imagemagick.org/script/formats.php, pdf is
supported through Ghostscript.

Thanks. Yes, but it produces an image. (Which may be what you want,
but you can not coinventiently read a pdf that way.)

But hopefully for the purpose of preview-latex, this is potentially
possible (pdf/ps,eps) -> svg.

I still don't see the point.  You need Ghostscript either way.

Yeah, it doesn't sound too useful.
