word wrapping issue

[franco64]

Hi and apologies for this stupid question but i just can not figure out why this is happening

I have the following script

convert -size 720x480 xc:transparent -stroke black -strokewidth 1 -fill lightblue -colorspace RGB -depth 10 -font Hiragino-Kaku-Gothic-ProN-W3 -gravity North -pointsize 38 -annotate +0+10 'かいけいぼは　きょねん かんさされました。' -annotate +0+60 'kaikeiboha　kyonen　kansasaremashita。' /Users/franco/Desktop/Japanese/Banking/Phrase20.png

now i know if i reduce the pointsize to 32 it will work for most but i still have some that are just cropped at the ends and i have 1000 of these graphics to generate and i really do not want to go through each one to change the pointsize. It seems that the word wrapping does not seem to work while some others do e.g

convert -size 720x480 xc:transparent -stroke black -strokewidth 1 -fill lightblue -colorspace RGB -depth 10 -font Hiragino-Kaku-Gothic-ProN-W3 -gravity North -pointsize 38 -annotate +0+10 'このかいしゃは　ニューヨークしじょうに\nじょうじょうしました。' -annotate +0+100 'konokaishaha　nyūyōkushijouni\njoujoushimashita。' /Users/franco/Desktop/Japanese/Banking/Phrase4.png

which use longer sentences

any help would be very appreciated

Thanks

use caption: to get word wrapping

see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/#caption

Try this and see if it produces something close to what you want:

Code: Select all

convert -background none -stroke black -strokewidth 1 -fill lightblue -colorspace RGB -depth 10 -font Hiragino-Kaku-Gothic-ProN-W3  -gravity North -pointsize 38  ( -size 720x480 caption:'かいけいぼは　きょねん かんさされました。' -trim ) ( -size 720x10 xc:transparent )  ( -size 720x480 caption:'kaikeiboha　kyonen　kansasaremashita。' -trim ) -append /Users/franco/Desktop/Japanese/Banking/Phrase20.png

many thanks for the responses. I seem to get an error message when trying the following

convert -background none -stroke black -strokewidth 1 -fill lightblue -colorspace RGB -depth 10 -font Hiragino-Kaku-Gothic-ProN-W3 -gravity North -pointsize 38 ( -size 720x480 caption:' かいけいぼは　きょねん かんさされました。' -trim ) ( -size 720x10 xc:transparent ) ( -size 720x480 caption:' kaikeiboha　kyonen　kansasaremashita。' -trim ) -append /Users/franco/Desktop/Japanese/Banking/Phrase20.png

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

any ideas would be great

thanks

I use Windows XP and I knew I would forget something when I converted that command back to Linux. The parentheses have to be escaped to get through bash.

Code: Select all

convert -background none -stroke black -strokewidth 1 -fill lightblue -colorspace RGB -depth 10 -font Hiragino-Kaku-Gothic-ProN-W3  -gravity North -pointsize 38 \( -size 720x480 caption:'かいけいぼは　きょねん かんさされました。' -trim \) \( -size 720x10 xc:transparent \)  \( -size 720x480 caption:'kaikeiboha　kyonen　kansasaremashita。' -trim \) -append /Users/franco/Desktop/Japanese/Banking/Phrase20.png

Which is why I would like to see a PHP method to execute a command WITHOUT requiring it to be parsed by shell, though you will need to separate the arguments yourself. This is better for option controls as well as for security.

[franco64]

unfortunately this don't work as i get the following



What i should get is something like this



but when i do the script i initially made i get and you clearly see that it crops at both ends



I would like to just use 1 font size but if i decrease the font size for some it will make the others look small which i do not want

so anymore help would be grateful

Thanks

The result you want is essentially what I am getting on my system:



but I suspect that you are using a Mac because the font you're using seems to be supplied with a Mac.
I'm using windows XP Pro SP3 and was testing using Bitstream-CyberCJK which is a free font that I found on the internet.
So, the differences we're seeing may be due to the different fonts or perhaps to a different version of ImageMagick.
Which version of ImageMagick are you using?
My system reports:

Code: Select all

    convert -version

Check that the spaces are really spaces and not 'hard' or 'no-break' spaces.
