how to create text shadow or outside stroke with caption?

Post by ravikum »

Hello,
annotate can produce shadows.
it also can make strokes that form outside as shown at
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/fonts/

However, is there a way to apply such effects with caption ?

I need to write text on a photo and caption can make the text to appear in new line if it is long.
So, I prefer caption instead of annotate.

Please suggest me how to apply outside stroke / shadow with caption.

Thanks
