Maybe.

I see that for testing under Unix, I used a filename specification 
like "/home/bfriesen/.magick/gm-%d.log".

Magick++ is just a thin veneer on top of the core C library.  Its main 
purpose is to make functionality easy to use in a way which works well 
for C++ while minimizing common problems like memory leaks.  Magick++ 
has survived with very little development or necessary maintenance for 
the past 21 years due to its design and being a wrapper.

Magick++ is inspired by the book "Ruminations on C++: A Decade of 
Programming Insight and Experience" by Andrew Koenig and Barbara E. 
Moo.  This is surely the most useful book on C++ that I have ever 
read since it focuses on using C++ to make things more simple, rather 
than making things more complex.
