This may get a little long, but here goes. I settled on using the annotate. It works how I want it to. As a test I did: convert -size 100x200 xc:white -fill black -draw "50,50 70,50" -fill blue -annotate 270x270+25+50 "test text" This work great, the anchor point is the beginning...

I will be building a command using a program to create it all based on the size dynamically. I did not want you to get wrapped up in the application, I can handle that. I was just wondering how to put text on an image at any angle using the draw command or other command. Like with a line you use sta...

I kind of want to do the lower left one with the text going up. What I am doing is building a percentage scale. The example was only that. I want to create a image that is 40 pixels high by 400 pixels wide. I am going to append this scale to the top of another image of the same size. I want to draw ...

I have been trying all morning to create a scale. I am having trouble getting the verticle text to work correctly. Here is my command: convert -size 400x400 xc:white -fill black -draw "line 10,10 50,10" -draw "rotate -90 text 25,25 'text'" test.jpg Any help on this would be great...

Worked like a charm. Thanks!

I have an 8 bit png image that is 1838x1238. I did the following: convert orig.png -crop 1800x1200+19+19 +repage crop.png I also did: convert orig.png -shave 19x19 shave.png both resulting images are identical I believe, but the orig.png was an 8 bit image, and the new images are a 16 bit images. I ...

I have been trying to understand the font usage. If th font file is a ttf, it works fine referencing the file, but if the file is a .fon file, it does not work. Should this work? I am on a windows system.

Thanks, Troy

I posted an earlier question that may have gotten a little convoluted as I have not gotten any replies. I installed freetype, and reinistalled IM, but I still cannot render ghostscript fonts. I still get this or a similar error: convert: unable to read font `n019024l.pfb' convert: missing an image f...

When I do a simple: convert -font "arial" -pointsize 24 label:"this is some text" new.jpg it works. If I change the font to Helvetica-BoldOblique, I get the error: convert: unable to read font `n019024l.pfb' convert: missing an image filename new.jpg When I do convert -list type,...

I know what the problem is now. It was my fault. Thanks for the help!

here is am example: convert -font arial -pointsize 24 -gravity center -fill "BLUE" -background none label:"TEXTINFO" -trim ( +clone -background "#dddddd50" -shadow 100x4+0+0 -channel A -evaluate multiply +channel ) +swap +repage -gravity center -composite +geometry &quo...

Thanks, that helps for the a options. Any idea why I am getting the error on the wash example when using the #(hex colors)? Also, even using the rbga, I am still not getting any transparency when doing the wash/shadow example. Is this just because of the functionality?

I have been trying to do some backgrounds. I seems sometimes it works to use the color names, sometimes using hex values, sometimes rgb, sometimes cmyk. I have been trying to do some transparency and have had some mixed results. Please comment on these things I have tried and the results. convert -p...
