ImageMagick import command gives error on windows?

I get the following error when I run the import command of ImageMagick from command-line

import: unable to open X sever '(null)'  @error /import.c/ImportImageCommand/362 [No such file or directory]

However, I have installed X-Server and it is launched in my task-bar. Even then I get this error.

Could you please provide me with some relevant links or solutions.


Solution 1:

If the Windows magick works like the *nix one, then you can try setting DISPLAY environment variable prior to calling it, e.g.

set DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
import ...
