space before text in label

[tunezio]

Hello

I try to create an image with text and border around the image with a background texture. my problem is that the text is pasted to the edge to the left, and when I try to add a "space" before the text that is ignored but if I add a "space" in the end it works

Code: Select all

convert -resize "240x114>" -extent 240x114 -background black -gravity center -fill white -pointsize 125 -size x114 -font "barata.ttf" label:" My text " -alpha off -trim \( -clone 0 -tile texture_finale.jpg -draw "color 0,0 reset" -fill "#C3F000" -colorize 50% \) \( -clone 0 -fill none -colorize 100% \) -reverse -compose over -composite -alpha set -virtual-pixel transparent -channel A -blur 0x0.7 -level 50,100% +channel \( +clone -background black -shadow 80x3-3+3 \) +swap -background none -layers merge +repage

label:" My text "

Adding spaces before and after the text should work. It has worked for me, for years. But your v6.7.7-10 is very very old.

EDIT: Oh, wait, then you "-trim". Well, that trims off the spaces.

Thank you for your quick answer

This is my last code but is still no working

Code: Select all

convert  -background black -fill white -font "barata.ttf"  -gravity center  -pointsize 125 -size x114 label:" My text "  
 \( -clone 0 -tile texture_finale.jpg -draw "color 0,0 reset" -fill "#C3F000" -colorize 50% \) 
 \( -clone 0 -fill none -colorize 100% \) 
 -reverse -compose over -composite 
 -alpha set -virtual-pixel transparent -channel A -blur 0x0.7 -level 50,100% +channel 
 \( +clone -background black -shadow 80x3-3+3 \) +swap -background none -layers merge +repage
 -resize "400x247 >"
 -extent "400x247"

It isn't a valid "convert" command. The last thing in a "convert" command must be an output name (usually a filename).

I just not added it.
My script works, but my problem is haw to add space before text

Code: Select all

convert  -background black -fill white -font "barata.ttf"  -gravity center  -pointsize 125 -size x114 label:" My text "  
 \( -clone 0 -tile texture_finale.jpg -draw "color 0,0 reset" -fill "#C3F000" -colorize 50% \) 
 \( -clone 0 -fill none -colorize 100% \) 
 -reverse -compose over -composite 
 -alpha set -virtual-pixel transparent -channel A -blur 0x0.7 -level 50,100% +channel 
 \( +clone -background black -shadow 80x3-3+3 \) +swap -background none -layers merge +repage
 -resize "400x247 >"
 -extent "400x247"

It does seem to have broken, sometime after v6.9.2-5. I suggest you reduce it to the simplest case and report it in the bugs forum.

You think that an update may fix the problem?

You should generally use the most recent version available if you can. But even with IM 7.0.2-10 on Windows 10 a space at the beginning of a label disappears. For this issue you may need to escape the space at the start of your label text. Something like...

Code: Select all

... label:"\ My Text " ...

This is an issue even with a current release ImageMagick 7.0.2-10 running on Windows 10 64. When I run this command to test several labels...

Code: Select all

magick -pointsize 48 ^
   label:"My Text 1 2 3" ^
   label:" My Text 1 2 3 " ^
   label:"\ My Text 1 2 3 " ^
   label:"     My Text 1 2 3     " ^
   label:"\     My Text 1 2 3     " ^
   -bordercolor gray -background gray -border 10x10 -append output.png

... you can see how all the spaces at the beginning of the text string in a "label" get removed if the first one isn't escaped with a backslash "\".



This may be a bug that needs to be addressed by the developers, or it may just be if a space is the first character in the "label" it needs to be escaped to make it work.

I opened a thread in the "Bugs" section of the forum and provided an example command and output image.
