Newby question: How to awrite info over a picture using a co

Post by arjfca »

Hello

I just discovered your site and ImageMagick may be the answer to my quest.

I want, using VBA ( Excel VB) to write over a JPG picture, numver like 1, 2, 3 ect
Could it be done using this application? If so, any example.

My goal is to create a command line witth the string (number) to be put on a jpg file and send it to a shell comnand
I know how to create the shell command string. But nothing in the ImageMagick software

English is not my language, nor be a certified coder in VBA :) so I'm a bit loss

Any help or link appreciated

Martin :D

In command line mode, is this what you want, with the number 5 at the bottom of the resulting image? You can have it written anywhere you want.
