How to dirty a font

[snibgo]

"xc:lightblue" creates an image.

Thanks. I hadn't seen that, my bad.

xc: is the same as canvas: and is the command to create a new image of some color and size as specified by -size and x:"somecolor".

Nice. I added "xc:white", and it worked. Maybe the script at http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/fonts/#dirty_print could be changed accordingly.

opps my bad.. I removed the xc: from the example.. The lightblue did not matter because of the threshold so I removed some of the useless options and went a little too far.
Example is now...

Code: Select all

  convert -size 320x100 xc: \
          -font Candice -pointsize 72 -annotate +25+65 'Anthony' \
          -spread 1 -blur 0x1 -threshold 50% -blur 0x1 font_dirty_print.jpg
