Text does not wrap correctly

[arthur]

Hello,

I am having some issue trying to wrap text in a given width and pointsize.
Here is what I run:

Code: Select all

convert -size 400x -pointsize 50 caption:'This does not wrap' out.png

And this is what I get:


I would expect "wrap" to be on a new line.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Tested with imagemagick 6.9.5 on OSX and imagemagick 6.7.7 on Ubuntu
Probably same issue http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1158 ... -font-size

Thank you for your help

From what I know text does not automatically wrap in caption, draw or annotate but I believe it does in label.

You can force it to depending on what language you are using with \n or new lines.

If I read the docs correctly, it's the other way around: does not wrap with label, wraps with caption

"caption:" should wrap, and generally does, eg:

Code: Select all

convert -size 200x -pointsize 50 caption:"This does not wrap" caption_200.png

But:

Code: Select all

convert -size 400x -pointsize 50 caption:"This does not wrap" caption_400.png

Looks like a bug to me.

v6.9.5-3 on Windows 8.1.

Caption will not split a word to wrap. But it should wrap between the not and wrap words.

Thank you everybody.
