please can you tell me the differences?So i can learn...

thank

I'm trying to change the font from Helvetiva to Arial, Courier New or Time New Roman but it doesn't change.
There is no error so the font exists.

Thank

Here's my version of the code. I've added comments with //*** where my changes occur.
One thing to note. I run this on Windows XP Pro and compile it as a windows program, not a DOS command line program.

Code: Select all

//*** Don't need these if ThrowWandException isn't defined
//    #include <stdio.h>

//*** I'm using C so I don't need this
//    using namespace std;

    //  description=MagickGetException(wand,&severity); \
    //  (void) fprintf(stderr,"%s %s %lu %s\n",GetMagickModule(),description); \
    //  description=(char *) MagickRelinquishMemory(description); \
    //  exit(-1); \
    //}

//*** The name DrawText conflicts with a Windows function of that name
    void u_DrawText(char * nome_conferenza, char * data, char * nome_utente, char * ID_utente) {

       MagickBooleanType status;
        MagickWand *magick_wand = NULL;
        DrawingWand *d_wand = NULL;
        PixelWand *p_wand = NULL;

        magick_wand = NewMagickWand();
        d_wand = NewDrawingWand();
        p_wand = NewPixelWand();



       // initialize MagickWand environment
       MagickWandGenesis();
       
        // Read the image. Change "logo:" to the name of your input image file
	   status = MagickReadImage(magick_wand,"logo:");
       //if (status == MagickFalse)
       //ThrowWandException(magick_wand);

       DrawSetFontSize(d_wand,14);
       DrawAnnotation(d_wand,150,15,(const unsigned char *) data);
        // same font - different colour and size

        DrawSetFillColor(d_wand,p_wand);
        DrawSetFontSize(d_wand,20);
        // Now draw the text
        DrawAnnotation(d_wand,30,90,(const unsigned char *) utente);

    }

Thank you very much for your help!!! I have nearly finished my "work"...the last question is about font.

I'm trying to change the font from Helvetiva to Arial, Courier New or Time New Roman but it doesn't change.
There is no error so the font exists.Why doesn't it change?

Thank

For different fonts all you should need to change is the name of the font in this statement: DrawSetFont(d_wand,"Helvetica");
E.g. I changed it to DrawSetFont(d_wand,"Times-New-Roman"); and the font changed in the output image.
But the way that Linux and Windows names their fonts is different. The Times New Roman font in Windows is named Times-New-Roman (and any other font with a space in its name always has the space replaced by a hyphen). I haven't used fonts on Linux so I don't know how they're named or if those fonts exist. You may also find that Linux is pickier about upper and lower case in the names.
To get a list of the fonts that IM sees on each system use this command:

Code: Select all

identify -list font

Pete

ok thank you, I'm very happy.

Bye

Hi Pete,

I'm writing a C code that use the following method:

DrawAnnotation(d_wand,x,y,(const unsigned char *) member_list->callername), where member_list is data structure with char* callername field.

When i run the program I get the following error:

Code: Select all

asterisk: wand/drawing-wand.c:770: DrawAnnotation: Assertion `text != (const unsigned char *) ((void *)0)' failed.

If i write the same data to a text file, the program will work well
fprintf(file,"CallerName %s, member_list->callername);

Can you help me?

Thank you in advance
