If you cannot find the convert command of ImageMagick, go to the Terminal and type in

$ which convert

which should output where the file is located. For me, I get

> /usr/local/bin/convert

So, I add this to my startup:

SetEnv, 'PATH=/usr/local/bin:' + GetEnv('PATH')

(I don't recall why exactly I don't use $PATH, but GetEnv instead.)

With this, I get
IDL> print, cgHasImageMagick()
1

Cheers,
Phillip

I am using a MAC and I have installed imagemagick but not through macports. Looks like the program is not able to find the convert command. Can anyone help me with this?
