Basic Example MagickAnnotateImage Problem

[gildir]

I'm trying out the basic MagickWand example, but I'm having a problem. MagickAnnotateImage is returning false, but MagickGetExceptionString doesn't return an error. I've checked the font path, the image path, etc. but they're all correct. If I don't kill on error, MagickEchoImageBlob does produce the original image I read, but without the text I want annotated.

Here's my test code (it produces "Error: " for me):

Code: Select all

	$magick_wand=NewMagickWand();
	MagickReadImage($magick_wand,$_POST[image_loc]);
	$drawing_wand=NewDrawingWand();
	if (!file_exists(FONT_PATH.$_POST[font].'.ttf') || !is_readable(FONT_PATH.$_POST[font].'.ttf'))
	{
		echo "Font File Error (".FONT_PATH.$_POST[font].'.ttf'.")";
		die();
	}
	DrawSetFont($drawing_wand,FONT_PATH.$_POST[font].'.ttf');
	DrawSetFontSize($drawing_wand,20);
	DrawSetGravity($drawing_wand,MW_CenterGravity);
	$pixel_wand=NewPixelWand();
	PixelSetColor($pixel_wand,"black");
	DrawSetFillColor($drawing_wand,$pixel_wand);
	$result = MagickAnnotateImage($magick_wand,$drawing_wand,0,0,0,"Banana");
	if(!$result || $result == 0)
	{
		echo 'Error: '.MagickGetExceptionString($magick_wand);
		die();
	}
	header( 'Content-Type: image/gif' );
	MagickEchoImageBlob( $magick_wand );

Any help would be appreciated.

Unfortunately we cannot reproduce the problem. We took your code and hard-coded paths for a file of rose.jpg and font of arial.ttf and issued these commands:

• convert rose: rose.jpg
  php wand.php > banana.jpg

The resulting banana.jpg is a rose with Banana written across the center in black. We're using ImageMagick 6.4.9-7 and MagickWand for PHP 1.0.8.

Thank you, that was very helpful in tracking down my error (GhostScript wasn't configured correctly).
