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:

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.

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.

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?
