How to open and edit images in Emacs

Question

I searched a lot about opening the image inside emacs. I think ImageMagick will do the trick, but what I can't seem to find is a way to use this inside Emac and how to integrate it with Emacs ?! Apart from any better alternative would be appreciated.

Answer 1

What about the image? It is already included in emacs. Just enter Mx image-dired and select the appropriate directory.

Answer 2

Are you looking for something like Emacs Image Emulation Mode ? It uses mogrify from ImageMacgick.

Answer 3

Not sure what you mean; You can open the image "inside Emacs" just like any other file, just Cx Cf to find it, and Cc Cc to switch the rendering of the bitmap.

According to the code, it looks like this:

 (defimage test-image ((:file "~/Pictures/greenbug.xpm"))) (insert-image test-image) 

Or even easier

 (insert-image (create-image "~/Pictures/greenbug.xpm"))
