+     "This package provides bindings to ImageMagick, a comprehensive image
+processing library.  It supports many common formats (PNG, JPEG, TIFF, PDF,
+etc.)  and manipulations (rotate, scale, crop, trim, flip, blur, etc).  All
+operations are vectorized via the Magick++ STL meaning they operate either on
+a single frame or a series of frames for working with layers, collages, or
+animation.  In RStudio, images are automatically previewed when printed to the
+console, resulting in an interactive editing environment.")
