friends I have a difficulty with convert -draw text
with my script of #!/bin/bash # make bba slate vers 1 js 7.21.2011 ############################# ## echo "----------------< slate start >-------------" ## here are some vars 6 lines 6 vars dbIDVal=FA000747 srcVal=WBEN-TV slugVal=nnnnnnnnnn dateVal=yyyy/mm/dd lenVal=10:00 #lenVal=number sndVal=SOF #lin 1 --DatabaseID# convert ~/bba/bba_blank.png \ -fill black -pointsize 25 -draw "text 70,160 'Database ID#'" \ -fill black -pointsize 25 -draw "text 240,160 $dbIDVal" \ -fill black -pointsize 25 -draw "text 70,200 'Source'" \ -fill black -pointsize 25 -draw "text 240,200 $srcVal" \ -fill black -pointsize 25 -draw "text 70,240 'Slug'" \ -fill black -pointsize 25 -draw "text 240,240 $slugVal" \ -fill black -pointsize 25 -draw "text 70,280 'Date'" \ -fill black -pointsize 25 -draw "text 240,280 $dateVal" \ -fill black -pointsize 25 -draw "text 70,320 'Length'" \ -fill black -pointsize 25 -draw "text 240,320 $lenVal" \ -fill black -pointsize 25 -draw "text 70,360 'Sound'" \ -fill black -pointsize 25 -draw "text 240,360 $sndVal" \ ~/bba/slate4.png i get an error of convert: Non-conforming drawing primitive definition `text' @ draw.c/DrawImage/3140. due to lenVal=10:00 it hates numbers? i also ahve a problem if i make dateVal=yyyy/mm/dd something like dateVal=2011/07/21 It seems no amount of double quotes , etc etc seem to work and Yet I think - there must be a way so my Q is also i should mention the above script successfully makes a png. but the $lenVal ( if the value is numbers ) is blank THANKS! j _______________________________________________ Magick-users mailing list Magick-users@imagemagick.org http://studio.imagemagick.org/mailman/listinfo/magick-users
