incomplete API?

Post by kustom »

Hello,

these days im expending my days using wand API for doing lot of effects with text, i was trying do bender text like a arc, apply deformations effects.... effects like: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/fonts/

but i see in Wand API im very limited to write only text with MagickAnnotateImage() function... and no more.... :shock:

today i read about these function in Wand API

ConvertImageCommand()

my question is: MUST i use this function like command-line imagemagick Convert.exe to get the text effects mentioned above???

You can still use the image generation functions!!!!
Just read a new image from "label:Hello World"
It is just a different form of text to image conversion.

For drawing on existing images, even the command line API only has -annotate and -draw, the same as MagickWand.

You have not lost anything!
