no, you see, i need to explain myself better the problem is that when adding blur, the resulting image is larger than when you dont add blur lets suppose i generate the text: hello, and i have it in position 100,100 within a larger canvas then i recreate that text this time with a shadow that has a ...

this is the command i use convert -background none -fill #ffffff -font Arial -pointsize 100 -rotate 0 -gravity West label:"text" ( -clone 0 -background black -shadow 100x1+2+2 ) -reverse -background none -layers merge +repage result.png it works great, but the resulting image moves with an...

im doing shadows in image texts successfully, the problem comes when i use enough blur , like x4 or x5, then the resulting image jumps from the previous one, i read that +repage is supposed to reset the offset, but it doesnt seem to work in the latest version, other people saying the same, any tips?...

i read that +repage is supposed to reset the offset, but it doesnt seem to work
in the latest version, other people saying the same, any tips?

yes it works, its great i just have one problem, when i do a shadow that is blurred, say with a blur of x4 or x5, the resulting image because of the offset created by the blur, moves in relation to the previous one i read that repage can maybe be used to compensate for that offset but i dont underst...

i just found that i can do this -shadow 50x1+10+10 to create a shadow but the question is, can i render a text as image and add the shadow to it all in one single command? thats what i would need, so that i could have the text+the shadow all together in a PNG output if possible using :label but if n...

hi :) what is the simplest way to do a drop shadow or similar effect to render a text as a PNG image so that when composited over different backgrounds it stands out? could be a drop shadow effect or a stroke border around the text, is this possible to be done in a single command when rendering a te...

which reminds me,

this issue of justification and gravity not being separated, does this happen only in imagemagick? or is this generic all around?

thank you again for all your help and tips and all and thank you to imagemagick, its so very useful in so many ways

if they needed the justification-gravity division back in 2005, then, ehhh,
in 2011, is there any prediction as to when it will happen?

i am myself now a new FAN of the justification-gravity division
do we need to collect 1 million digital signatures to make it a reality?

yeah thats on the shell, the question is how to replicate that with php code and still one single command we know how to do it also in php with one single command, but it breaks because imagemagick confuses local justification with the global one, anyways, they have to make justification and gravity...

i see, mmm well, then it seems to me that the pipes cannot be translated into php, and probably each shell pipe means a new command in php i guess if i find anything about this for sure i will let u know, i hope i find something around :) the pity is that if there was a justification tag , all of th...

looking at the code below the part that i have problems to pass to php is just this one "miff:- done | convert " is 'done' the end of the loop? is the pipe | the link between the loop and the next convert statement? and if so, how can we execute that from an scripting language like php? i ...

is the example in "I have uploaded this example in IM Examples, Text Handling, Form Filling
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/#form_filling"

cant find it so far
thank you

uuuaps, now im more confused than before :) im afraid i dont understand Perl, but im happy there is a way, now i just need to find out how to pass that to PHP, i also dont understand the $width parameter you use there, why only width? is that the width of the final background large container? thank ...
