Also, I forgot to mention that you cannot use JPEG for transparent
effects. It does not support transparency. You need to use gif or png.
convert -background none -font poor-richard -pointsize 24 -fill blue \
-gravity center label:"My Text Here" tmp.png
see various methods for making text into images:
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/#label
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/#draw
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/#annotate
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/canvas/#other (transparent canvas)
you might want to look at my new script, texteffects, which can be found at
http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/index.html
I have read for 3 hours but can't find how to make the picture image
show through behind the text. I get a box around the text that covers
the picture. How do I make the color inside the box transparent?
convert -size 300x -background transparent -fill blue -font poor-richard
label:"My Text Here" text.jpg
composite -geometry +200+1 text.jpg picture.jpg result.jpg
Thanks,
Keith
