# MagickMonitor

## Synopsis

    MagickPassFail MagickMonitor( const char *text, const magick_int64_t quantum,
                                  const magick_uint64_t span, ExceptionInfo *exception );

## Description

MagickMonitor() calls the monitor handler method with a text string that describes the task and a measure of completion. The method returns True on success otherwise False if an error is encountered, e.g. if there was a user interrupt.

The format of the MagickMonitor method is:

    MagickPassFail MagickMonitor( const char *text, const magick_int64_t quantum,
                                  const magick_uint64_t span, ExceptionInfo *exception );

text:
  Description of the task being performed.
quantum:
  The position relative to the span parameter which represents how much progress has been made toward completing a task.
span:
  The span relative to completing a task.
exception:
  Return any errors or warnings in this structure.

# MagickMonitorFormatted

## Synopsis

    MagickPassFail MagickMonitorFormatted( const magick_int64_t quantum,
                                           const magick_uint64_t span,
                                           ExceptionInfo *exception, const char *format,
                                           ... );

## Description

MagickMonitorFormatted() calls the monitor handler method with a printf type format specification and variable argument list. Also passed are quantum and span values which provide a measure of completion. The method returns True on success otherwise False if an error is encountered, e.g. if there was a user interrupt.

The format of the MagickMonitorFormatted method is:

    MagickPassFail MagickMonitorFormatted( const magick_int64_t quantum,
                                           const magick_uint64_t span,
                                           ExceptionInfo *exception, const char *format,
                                           ... );

quantum:
  The position relative to the span parameter which represents how much progress has been made toward completing a task.
span:
  The span relative to completing a task.
exception:
  Return any errors or warnings in this structure.
format:
  A string describing the format to use to write the remaining arguments.

# SetMonitorHandler

## Synopsis
