pango takes 274MS to render whereas caption takes 2859MS. It's 10 times faster, but is there a way to get it to render even faster?

You're right. It looks like a bug in the Magick.NET wrapper. When I run ImageMagick from the commandline sample does maintain the aspect ratio. I wonder how Magick.NET could even be overwriting this default sample behavior? Sample doesn't produce great results, but man is it fast! It takes 6 ...

Yeah, sample wasn't respecting the image aspect ratio? I am resizing 400 x 400 in my example, but the picture is not square. When I use resize or scale, the image is resized to a height of 400 and a width of 283 which is correct for its aspect. Sample does 400 x 400 without preserving the aspect?

Scale appears to be several times faster and appears to produce similar results. Thanks fmw42.

Hi All, Like my previous thread dealing with caption, is there a way for ImageMagick to resize an image more quickly and efficiently? Of all the measurements I've taken, the resize operation takes about 400MS which is longer than everything else being done in my app using ImageMagick. I need to ...

Also, how do I send in the path for the custom font to use with Pango? It looks like it wants the name of a font only. I cannot seem to pass it a font-file path like I could with caption.

That is much faster! However, why do I have to adjust the FontPointsize property to 43 for the text to fit?

Why is there that huge of a difference in speed between caption and pango?

Hi All, Is there a way to make the caption operation more efficient in ImageMagick? I'm creating a new image with a caption to composite onto the base image since it does not appear there is a way to position a caption directly on the base image in a specific location with a specified rendering size ...
