<p class="lead">This specification defines the features and syntax for Magick Vector Graphics (MVG), a modularized language for describing two-dimensional vector and mixed vector/raster graphics in ImageMagick. You can use the language to draw from the
command line, from an MVG file, from an <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/">SVG -- Scalable Vector Graphics</a> file or from one of the ImageMagick <a href="develop.html">program interfaces</a>. Use this command, for example, to render an arc:</p>
<pre class="p-3 mb-2 bg-light text-dark cli"><samp>magick -size 100x60 canvas:skyblue -fill white -stroke black \
-draw "path 'M 30,40 A 30,20 20 0,0 70,20 A 30,20 20 1,0 30,40 Z '" \
arc.png
</samp></pre>
<p>and here is the result:</p>
<ul>
<a href="../images/arc.png"><img src="../images/arc.png" width="100" height="60" alt="arc" /></a>
</ul>
<p>When the drawing gets sufficiently complex, we recommend you assemble the graphic primitives into a MVG file. For our example, we use <a href="https://imagemagick.org/source/piechart.mvg">piechart.mvg</a>:</p>

<p>to render a pie chart with this command:</p>
<pre class="p-3 mb-2 bg-light text-dark cli"><samp>magick mvg:piechart.mvg piechart.png
</samp></pre>
<p>which produces this rendering:</p>
<ul>
<a href="../images/piechart.png"><img src="../images/piechart.png" width="624" height="369" alt="piechart" /></a>
</ul>
<p>However, in general, MVG is sufficiently difficult to work with that you probably want to use a program to generate your graphics in the SVG format. ImageMagick automagically converts SVG to MVG and renders your image, for example, we render <a href="https://imagemagick.org/source/piechart.svg">piechart.svg</a> with this command:</p>
<pre class="p-3 mb-2 bg-light text-dark cli"><samp>magick mvg:piechart.svg piechart.jpg
</samp></pre>
<p>to produce the same pie chart we created with the MVG language.</p>
<p>Drawing is available from many of the ImageMagick <a href="develop.html">program interfaces</a> as well. ImageMagick converts the drawing API calls to MVG and renders it. Here is example code written in the <a href="../www/magick-wand.html">MagickWand</a> language: </p>
<pre class="pre-scrollable p-3 mb-2 bg-light text-dark"><samp>(void) PushDrawingWand(draw_wand);

{ 243.5,699.4 },
{ 116.5,699.4 },
{ 77.26,578.6 },
{ 180,504 }
};
DrawSetStrokeAntialias(draw_wand,True);
DrawSetStrokeWidth(draw_wand,9);
DrawSetStrokeLineCap(draw_wand,RoundCap);
DrawSetStrokeLineJoin(draw_wand,RoundJoin);
(void) DrawSetStrokeDashArray(draw_wand,0,(const double *)NULL);
(void) PixelSetColor(color,"#4000c2");
DrawSetStrokeColor(draw_wand,color);

<h2><a class="anchor" id="overview"></a>MVG Overview</h2>
<p>MVG ignores all white-space between commands. This allows multiple MVG commands per line. It is common convention to terminate each MVG command with a newline to make MVG easier to edit and read. This syntax description uses indentation in MVG sequences to aid with understanding. Indentation is supported but is not required.</p>
<p>Metafile wrapper syntax (to support stand-alone MVG files):</p>
<pre class="p-3 mb-2 bg-light text-dark"><samp>push graphic-context
viewbox 0 0 width height
[ any other MVG commands ]
pop graphic-context
</samp></pre>
<p>Pattern syntax (saving and restoring context):</p>
<pre class="p-3 mb-2 bg-light text-dark"><samp>push pattern id x,y width,height
push graphic-context
[ drawing commands ]
pop graphic-context
pop pattern
</samp></pre>
<p>an example is (%s is a identifier string):</p>
<pre class="p-3 mb-2 bg-light text-dark"><samp>push defs

<td><samp>Bezier</samp> (spline) requires three or more x,y coordinates to define its shape. The first and last points are the knots (preserved coordinates) and any intermediate coordinates are the control points. If two control points are specified, the line between each end knot and its sequentially respective control point determines the tangent direction of the curve at that end. If one control point is specified, the lines from the end knots to the one control point determines the tangent directions of the curve at each end. If more than two control points are specified, then the additional control points act in combination to determine the intermediate shape of the curve. In order to draw complex curves, it is highly recommended either to use the <samp>Path</samp> primitive or to draw multiple four-point bezier segments with the start and end knots of each successive segment repeated. </td>

<tr>
<td>multiply</td>
<td>The source is multiplied by the destination and replaces the destination. The resultant color is always at least as dark as either of the two constituent colors. Multiplying any color with black produces black. Multiplying any color with white leaves the original color unchanged.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>screen</td>
<td>The source and destination are complemented and then multiplied and then replace the destination. The resultant color is always at least as light as either of the two constituent colors. Screening any color with white produces white. Screening any color with black leaves the original color unchanged.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>overlay</td>
<td>Multiplies or screens the colors, dependent on the destination color. Source colors overlay the destination whilst preserving its highlights and shadows. The destination color is not replaced, but is mixed with the source color to reflect the lightness or darkness of the destination.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>darken</td>
<td>Selects the darker of the destination and source colors. The destination is replaced with the source when the source is darker, otherwise it is left unchanged.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>lighten</td>
<td>Selects the lighter of the destination and source colors. The destination is replaced with the source when the source is lighter, otherwise it is left unchanged.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>linear-light</td>
<td>Increase contrast slightly with an impact on the foreground's tonal values.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>color-dodge</td>
<td>Brightens the destination color to reflect the source color. Painting with black produces no change.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>color-burn</td>
<td>Darkens the destination color to reflect the source color. Painting with white produces no change.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>hard-light</td>
<td>Multiplies or screens the colors, dependent on the source color value. If the source color is lighter than 0.5, the destination is lightened as if it were screened. If the source color is darker than 0.5, the destination is darkened, as if it were multiplied. The degree of lightening or darkening is proportional to the difference between the source color and 0.5. If it is equal to 0.5 the destination is unchanged. Painting with pure black or white produces black or white.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>soft-light</td>
<td>Darkens or lightens the colors, dependent on the source color value. If the source color is lighter than 0.5, the destination is lightened. If the source color is darker than 0.5, the destination is darkened, as if it were burned in. The degree of darkening or lightening is proportional to the difference between the source color and 0.5. If it is equal to 0.5, the destination is unchanged. Painting with pure black or white produces a distinctly darker or lighter area, but does not result in pure black or white.</td>

<td>plus</td>
<td>The source is added to the destination and replaces the destination. This operator is useful for animating a dissolve between two images.</td>
</tr>

<td>As per 'plus' but transparency data is treated as matte
values. As such any transparent areas in either image remain
transparent. </td>

<td>Subtract the colors in the source image from the
destination image. When transparency is involved, Opaque areas will be
subtracted from any destination opaque areas. </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>subtract</td>
<td>Subtract the colors in the source image from the
destination image. When transparency is involved transparent areas are
subtracted, so only the opaque areas in the source remain opaque in
the destination image. </td>

<td>difference</td>
<td>Subtracts the darker of the two constituent colors from the lighter. Painting with white inverts the destination color. Painting with black produces no change.</td>

<td>exclusion</td>
<td>Produces an effect similar to that of 'difference', but appears as lower contrast. Painting with white inverts the destination color. Painting with black produces no change.</td>

<td>The part of the source that lies outside of the destination is combined with the part of the destination that lies outside of the source.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>copy-*</td>
<td>Copy the specified channel in the source image to the
same channel in the destination image. If the channel specified in
the source image does not exist, (which can only happen for methods,
'<samp>copy-opacity</samp>' or '<samp>copy-black</samp>') then it is
assumed that the source image is a special grayscale channel image
of the values to be copied. </td>
