Given pain to set up ImageMagick it probably cannot go unnoticed anywhere.
Tried to use that crap as a library not so lately, but it gave me brain cancer. I sticked to libgd finally, as that is a library, no setup to /bin, /etc, or on Windows to C:\Progra~1, and the library entry points of GD don't look as if designed by an oh-so-funny idiot on the spectrum.
Tell me please, that this is a sane API, but then please provide me your github account as well, just to know what to avoid at all costs in the future
Edit: USE LIBGD: http://libgd.github.io/ it has friendly API, suggesting sane developers, and the API is easy to use from wrappers (I used with P/Invoke interop from C# without any hickups). It looks to me that it was designed in a way to be easily usable that way, which suggests design, not just growing code like cancer.
