=head1 NAME

Image::Magick::Info - Retreive image attributes with Image::Magick.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Image::Magick::Info qw( get_info );

  my $info = get_info("/users/aroth/Desktop/photo.jpg", ("filesize","width","height") );
  


=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module is a thin wrapper over ImageMagick's getAttribute() function. There are
faster modules out there (which don't rely on ImageMagick) that you may want to check
out (see 'SEE ALSO'). 

=head1 METHOD

get_info( filename, attributes )

=head2 PARAMETERS

'filename' is the path of the source image.

'attributes' is a list of attributes you wish to retreive. 

A comprehensive list of all possible attributes can be found here at http://imagemagick.org/script/perl-magick.php#get_attributes. Some of the more common are:

 filesize
 width
 height
 format
 mime

 

=head2 RETURNS

get_info() returns a hashref of the image attributes. Example:

 $VAR1 = {
           'height' => 98,
           'colors' => 2568,
           'filesize' => 17159,
           'width' => 101
         };
