Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

I have came up with an excellent solution. I found a program call text2image.exe. It will convert an RTF file to many image formats. The website for this is http://www.xuebrothers.net/. The price was only $9.99. They have a lot of other neat program also.

Here is the complete information of what I need to do: I need to place text on an image with the following specifications: first and second line is 7 point futura book with leading set to 11 points and tracking set to 10 points. 3rd line is 8 point trajan bold with 12 point leading. 4th line is 8 po...

Is there a way to do 2 different fonts in the same caption? Say I was doing "this is a test of different fonts" and I wanted "this is a" in courier, "test of different" in arial and "fonts" in verdana. Can I do this or do I need to create 3 images and merge th...

I am trying to find a way to use different leading(line spacing) and tracking(character spacing) for a selected font using caption. Is there a way to do this and if so, how?

That makes some sense, but then how do printers print at high dpi's? when I add this text at 16 point, it looks much different than if I add it at 80 point. if I am entering text at 16 point at 100 dpi, how do I get the same image at 500 dpi without using 80 point font and creating it?

I believe that I figured it out. I had quotes around the caption file after the @ sign. I took them out and the error went away.

Thanks

I have created 2 blank graphics using: convert -size 500x250 xc:white blanks.bmp convert -size 1975x938 xc:white blankl.bmp I did: convert blanks.bmp -fill black -pointsize 16 -font ARIAL.TTF -size 310 -gravity center -background #00000000 caption:"This is a test for proportioning" -gravit...

Any suggestions from the experts?

I have this convert. There is a slight problem with the syntax. It actually works, but it gives me the error: convert: no such image `@c:\temp\graphics\3_T_3.TXT'. Here is the convert: convert -fill black -pointsize 12 -font "c:\pcshare\pcgraphics\itweb\fonts\ARIAL.TTF" -size 1000 -gravity...

I have 2 jpegs thumbnails. One will display in internet explorer and one will not. Doing an identify -verbose, I can see they are highly different. What do I need to do to get the bad one to display? Here is the identify's Bad: Image: c:\temp\graphics\tn_5015.jpg Format: JPEG (Joint Photographic Exp...

Thanks, that worked.

I am trying to create a monochrome 2 bit image. I am doing the folowing: convert -size 1875x938 xc:white "c:\temp\graphics\X1931_41390_1.bmp" convert "c:\temp\graphics\X1931_41390_1.bmp" -fill black -pointsize 67 -font "c:\pcshare\pcgraphics\itweb\fonts\ZAFCHAB.TTF" -si...

Also, if your solution will still work, please show me how I can start with the start.png and do 2 of the annotations that you suggested.

Thanks

Sorry I did not give more detail. The image start.png is a large image 1820x910. I want to place text on it. I do not want the text to wrap and want to be able to specify a font and font size. I have an application wrapped around this so I am executing the command line to build this image. I am doin...
