Interface GMConnection

All Superinterfaces:

GMExecutor

public interface GMConnection
extends GMExecutor

Encapsulates a connection to the GraphicsMagick process. An instance of GMConnection is associated with one and only one physical GraphicsMagick process. Client can call #execute(String) method many times during the life cycle GMConnection instance. Client is required to call close() method in the end of the life cycle to terminate the physical GraphicsMagick process quickly.

Implementations of this interface are typical not thread safe in nature unless otherwise stated.
