How "Imagemagick" is on my system without my installation?

gp flag

The system I use is "Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS". I did not install Imagemagick. but today after installing Latex its icon is on my applications list. does it relate to latex?! and why it's installed on my system without permission?

Software packages often require other programs are installed, or recommend that they will work better with them. These will then normally be automatically installed at the same time.

One way to find out why a program is installed is to ask on the command-line why.

aptitude why imagemagick

which will probably give an answer like:

i   PACKAGE Recommends imagemagick

which is the first installed package it found that recommended or required it.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
