prawn-gmagick

A graphicsmagick binding to add support for additional image formats to prawn.

Usage

Gemfile

gem "prawn-gmagick"

Your code

require "prawn/gmagick"

Supported Image Formats

prawn-gmagick will try to load any image passed to it that graphicsmagick can identify. To see what formats your installation supports run gm version.

Speed

In an unscientific speed test using this PNG image on my MacBook Pro, prawn-gmagick shows a noticeable speed improvement over Prawn and comparable speed to prawn-fast-png.
