<H1 ALIGN=CENTER>Magick::Exception Classes</H1>
<P><I>Exception</I> represents the base class of objects thrown when
Magick++reports an error. Magick++ throws C++ exceptions synchronous
with the operation where the error occurred. This allows errors to be
trapped within the enclosing code (perhaps the code to process a
single image) while allowing the code to be written with a simple
coding style.</P>
<P>A try/catch block should be placed around any sequence of
operations which can be considered an important body of work. For
example, if your program processes lists of images and some of these
images may be defective, by placing the try/catch block around the
entire sequence of code that processes one image (including
instantiating the image object), you can minimize the overhead of
error checking while ensuring that all objects created to deal with
that object are safely destroyed (C++ exceptions unroll the stack
until the enclosing try block, destroying any created objects).
</P>
<P>The pseudo code for the main loop of your program may look like:

The desired location and number of try/catch blocks in your program
depends how sophisticated its error handling must be. Very simple
programs may use just one try/catch block.</P>
<P>The <I>Exception</I> class is derived from the C++ standard
exception class. This means that it contains a C++ string containing
additional information about the error (e.g to display to the user).
Obtain access to this string via the what() method. For
example:
</P>
<P><TT><FONT COLOR="#000066"> catch( Exception &error_ )</FONT></TT>
<BR><TT><FONT COLOR="#000066"> {</FONT></TT> <BR><TT><FONT COLOR="#000066">
cout << "Caught exception: " << error_.what()
<< endl;</FONT></TT> <BR><TT><FONT COLOR="#000066">
}</FONT></TT>
</P>
<P>The classes <I>Warning</I> and <I>Error</I> derive from the
<I>Exception</I> class. Exceptions derived from <I>Warning</I> are
thrown to represent non-fatal errors which may effect the
completeness or quality of the result (e.g. one image provided as an
argument to montage is defective). In most cases, a <I>Warning</I>
exception may be ignored by catching it immediately, processing it
(e.g. printing a diagnostic) and continuing on. Exceptions derived
from <I>Error</I> are thrown to represent fatal errors that can not
produce a valid result (e.g. attempting to read a file which does not
exist).
