Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hello ppl,

i have been trying to solve that problem for all day. Also Searching the forums did not help me.

I am trying to accomplish something very simple: I want to draw some text on an existing .gif file

Thats the code i use for it:

s = oimg.mogrify("-draw", "text 2,2 'xxx'", "c:\web\customers\lwz\symbol\blabla.gif")

The image is processed, as i can see it gets an new timestamp in explorer, however no text shows up.

The image that i try to alter, has been produced successfully by ImageMagic. Its size is 39x72 pixels.

I also tried this:

msgs = oimg.mogrify("-draw", "text 0,5 'X'", "-font", "Arial", "-pointsize", "8", "c:\web\customers\lwz\symbol\blabla.gif")

however same (no) result.

please can someone enlighten me?

i just found out this code works perfectly as an vbs file, but being put on an asp files it just doesnt write out the text.

all other operations (composite etc..) do work.
