Due to the recent SourceForge project upgrade, GraphicsMagick now 
seems to have a Wiki.  I don't yet have any experience with it.

It is most useful if improvements make it into the project itself 
rather than a Wiki.  The web pages are mostly sourced from '.rst' text 
files under the 'www' subdirectory of the source tree.  For example 
the 'types' documentation comes from "www/api/types.rst".  Patches are 
appreciated.

If you read from a file which has an alpha channel, then matte should 
be automatically enabled and return true.  If you create your own 
image (using the APIs) then you will need to enable it yourself (e.g. 
"image.matte(true)").  This can also be used to easily remove the 
opacity channel if you want to ignore it.

GraphicsMagick may strip the alpha channel when writing if it detects 
that the image is completely opaque.
