It has to pick one or the other of W or Height to fit. You cannot fit both without one font size and without distorting the text in the other dimension. Yes, that's what I wish to achieve. I am not trying to get this (GIMP MOCKUPS): http://i.imgur.com/CaLSjhB.png http://i.imgur.com/AEjGlI0.png (eew...

Width only (best fit) convert -size 500x label:"This is a long test of label" label1.png http://www.fmwconcepts.com/misc_tests/label/label1.png This one has possibly superfluous whitespace on the right. WxH with pointsize (not best fit) convert -size 500x500 -pointsize 24 -gravity center ...

You cannot fit text to both width and height when no pointsize is provided. By "fit" I do not mean "fill" but that the left/right (text too long for area) or top/bottom (text too short for area) whitespace is filled with -background color. 300x100 and 100x300 areas should have t...

Thank you both for clarifying! I do not expect word-wrap when using label with -size WxH. I expect that the label is rendered on one line and fits inside the -size WxH area. http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/#label uses WxH parameters for -size, so I assumed it's a feature. Images of what happen...

Thanks for your reply! The issue persists in 6.8.5.3 on Arch Linux. With label: you should not specify both the width and height. Just use one or the other. label: is not supposed to fit the box, when both width and height are given? Or is just not working as intended? http://i.imgur.com/tlBVclZ.png

Thank you for answering! Does the problem occur with all fonts? The default font (not sure which it is, not sure how to check. Also I believe that on many Linux distros many popular font names are aliases for other fonts) has the same problem. I used the command convert -size 1656x250 -background wh...

Hello, I render text using label to a pre-defined area, not knowing up front, how long the text is. Unfortunately, if the string is long enough, it will overflow, rather than scaling to fit the given area. convert -size 1656x250 -background white -fill black -font URW-Gothic-L-Demi -gravity Center -...

Today, it all works. Version: ImageMagick 6.8.0-3 2012-10-27 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org So strange. Was a dependency broken? Here's the list of what I updated since I last tried.

Thanks, this helped us fix the preview conversion on our site!

The perlMagick code we had to add to the conversion process was:

convert logo: +dither -colors 10 -format %c histogram:info: | sort -r -k 1 | head -n 10 | sed -n 's/^\([ 0-9]*\): .*[#]\([a-zA-Z0-9]*\) .*$/\1 \2/p'

That is the next thing I would be trying to do Thanks again!

This will list out the top 10 colors in the histogram: convert logo: -depth 8 -format %c histogram:info: | sort -r -k 1 | head -n 10 | sed -n 's/^\([ 0-9]*\): .*[#]\([a-zA-Z0-9]*\) .*$/\1 \2/p' If you want fewer than 256 colors in the histogram, add -colors XX. If you want more than the top 10, the...
