Simply set label colour to white

Post by hivens »

Hi,

This sounds like an easy thing but stakeoverflow has failed me, so I'm hoping you will be able to help. I've got a transparent pseudo image which has a label field like this:

Code: Select all

$image->newPseudoImage(400, 300, "label:$inputdata");
This is then merged onto another pseduo layer with a gradient and then shown.

I can't work out how I am meant to set the label colour to white. I know it was fairly simple when using annotate image, but I don't know about how to do it with label. Any help would be appreciated.

The question is often asked, and I think the answer is: in IMagick, you can't set the fill colour for "label:".

try

Code: Select all

$image->newPseudoImage(400, 300, "canvas:white");
or

Code: Select all

$image->newPseudoImage(400, 300, "xc:white");
