Hi,

How do I use MagikWand's C API to convert a string like "Hello World" into a bmp image? Also need to prescribe font (Arial) and size.

Also, any way to position the text at a specified position on the bitmap?

Thanks!
C.

To further elaborate, what's the MagikWand code equivalent of the ImageMagik cli command:
"convert -pointsize 12 -font Arial label:HelloWorld hello.bmp"

Never mind, found what I was looking for here: http://members.shaw.ca/el.supremo/MagickWand/.

Essentually apply the settings, then 'read' the "label:" image. IM treats it as a 'psuedo-filename' when reading images.
