Lots of documentation. The imagemagick suite is a "suite" of commands like
"convert", "display", "mogrify", "animate", and "import"  etc etc 

When in doubt about commands for a recently installed package, try

dpkg -L <nameofpackage> | grep bin

For example:
 $ dpkg -L imagemagick | grep bin
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/animate
/usr/bin/compare
/usr/bin/composite
/usr/bin/conjure
/usr/bin/convert
/usr/bin/display
/usr/bin/identify
/usr/bin/import
/usr/bin/mogrify
/usr/bin/montage
/usr/share/doc/imagemagick/www/binary-releases.html

Example:  in a pictures directory do "  display mypicture.png" 
(without the quotes)

 Hope this is helpful.
