Caption fails to auto-fit in latest v7

[Bighead]

I have a powershell script that uses the name of the file as a watermark over the image. First I generate a caption then use composite to place it over the image. The problem is "caption" is no longer expanding to a new line in the latest ImageMagick-7.0.3-7-Q16-x64-dll.

The full name of the image is this:
tex1_124x40_3a277be1b9da51b7_2d0d8f84dc3ccc36_8

But this is the result:


Using ImageMagick-7.0.1-6-Q16-x64-dll there is no problem.


And this is the full command I'm using in PowerShell.

Code: Select all

& $Convert -background transparent -fill $FontColor -undercolor $BGColor -font $FontFace -pointsize $FontSize -size $CaptionWidth -gravity Center caption:$Watermark $CaptionPath

It usually helps more if you give an example that the IM developer can use that has actual values in it.

Sure, all of the variables would loosely translate into this:

Code: Select all

magick.exe -background transparent -fill #FF0000 -undercolor #00FF00 -font Courier-New-Bold -pointsize 8 -size 496x -gravity Center caption:tex1_124x40_3a277be1b9da51b7_2d0d8f84dc3ccc36_8 C:\Users\Bighead\AppData\Local\Temp\CTT-PS_Temp\TempWatermark\cap.png

That command gives me a very small image (496x10) with no line breaks on IM 7.0.3-7 and IM 6.9.6.5 on Mac OSX. Are you sure that is correct?

Code: Select all

magick -background transparent -fill "#FF0000" -undercolor "#00FF00" \
-font Courier-New-Bold -pointsize 8 -size "496x" -gravity Center \
caption:"tex1_124x40_3a277be1b9da51b7_2d0d8f84dc3ccc36_8" \

I actually did make a mistake, I forgot that $FontSize is actually calculated differently so 8 is incorrect for pointsize. Reusing your example it should be....

Code: Select all

magick -background transparent -fill "#FF0000" -undercolor "#00FF00" \
-font Courier-New-Bold -pointsize 39 -size "496x" -gravity Center \
caption:"tex1_124x40_3a277be1b9da51b7_2d0d8f84dc3ccc36_8" \

Thanks for the problem report. We can reproduce it and will have a patch to fix it in GIT master branch @ https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick later today. The patch will be available in the beta releases of ImageMagick @ http://www.imagemagick.org/download/beta/ by sometime tomorrow.

I never did get to try the beta version with the patch, but I just wanted to point out this is still an issue in the latest version (ImageMagick 7.0.4-5).

It looks like the patch did not get pushed to the repository. This oversite is fixed. Look for the patch tomorrow in the beta release of IM 7.0.4-6.
