Hi!

First post here!

Trying to make a php-script that makes two captions, one on the southeast and one on the southwest.
I have got it to work with a caption on southwest and annotate on southeast but that's a little hard to control.

Anyone having a solution for having a caption also at the souteast?

See an example:

http://www.overum.net/displayimage.php? ... fullsize=1

The code:

Code: Select all

shell_exec ("convert -resize ".$s."x".$s." -quality $q% $argv[1] -bordercolor black -border 3 -bordercolor white -border 2 \( -background black -fill white -font Bookman-LightItalic -size $break_length -pointsize $pointsize -kerning 4 caption:' ' -trim +repage -bordercolor black -border 4 \) -gravity Southwest \( -background black -fill white -font Bookman-LightItalic -size $break_length -pointsize $pointsize -kerning 4 caption:'$caption' -trim +repage -bordercolor black -border 15 \) -gravity Southwest -append -bordercolor black -border 10 -gravity southeast -pointsize $pointsize_date -annotate +20+10 '$location\n $img_date $img_time' -gravity South -chop 0x10 $outfile");

Best Regards Martin

use caption: (or label:) rather than annotate to create your captioned text on a transparent background (or whatever color) given a width and pointsize. Let it find the height automatically. then use convert -gravity ... -compose over to place the text image over the background image. repeat for the other caption text or how ever many captions you want to add.

Something strange is happening; I have tried to create the output all in one command and two command lines and both times the second text will not be displed if I have both pointsizes at 10. If I change the second pointsize to 15 it works !!!

I would go with the two line version below as it makes it easer to automaticaly resize the area below the image but I can not work out how to get both of the texts without different font sizes.

Code: Select all

<?php

$input = "yorkshire.jpg";
$s = "400";
$q = "90";
$argv[1] = "No idea what this is so taken out";
$caption_left = "caption left";
$caption_right = "caption right";
$pointsize = "10";
$pointsize_date = "15";
$location = "The country";
// Did you know you can get the date and time by using php EXIF or IM EXIF ?
$img_date = "2009-01-04";
$img_time = "11:48";
$outfile = "tre.jpg";

$cmd = " $input -resize {$s}x{$s} -bordercolor black -border 3x3 -bordercolor white -border 2x2 -gravity South +repage";

//echo $cmd."<br>";
//yorkshire.jpg -resize 400x400 -bordercolor black -border 3x3 -bordercolor white -border 2x2 -gravity South +repage

shell_exec ("convert $cmd temp.png");

$size = getimagesize("temp.png");
$caption_area = $size[0]."x50";

$cmd = " temp.png ( -size $caption_area xc:black ".
" -font DRAGM.ttf -pointsize $pointsize -kerning 4 -fill white -gravity southwest -annotate +10+10 \"$caption_left\" ".
" -pointsize $pointsize_date -kerning 4 -fill white -gravity southeast -annotate +0+0 \"$location $img_date $img_time\" ) ".
" -append +repage -quality $q ";

//echo $cmd."<br>";
// temp.png ( -size 410x50 xc:black -font DRAGM.ttf -pointsize 10 -kerning 4 -fill white -gravity southwest -annotate +10+10 "caption left" -font DRAGM.ttf -pointsize 15 -kerning 4 -fill white -gravity southeast -annotate +0+0 "The country 2009-01-04 11:48" ) -append +repage -quality 90 

shell_exec ("convert $cmd $outfile");

?>

Note:
jpg quality does not use a % see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... hp#quality

You should be reading your image in first before the -resize

Also a neater way to write the code is as above; You can always echo $cmd then to confirm it contains what you expect it to.

Thanks for the help!

But my captions is sometimes 1 row, sometimes 3 rows, i would like imagemagick to automatic size the frame to fit. Like it seems to do with caption: or label:

Maybe i should try to learn with some more basic.

Any hint to get some of this to work:

Code: Select all

convert -background '#00000080' -fill white -gravity south label:'Faerie Dragon' -compose over -composite  \
              in.jpg out.jpg

Code: Select all

convert -background '#00000080' -fill white label:'West Dragon' miff:- |\
    composite -gravity west -geometry +0+3 \
	label:'East Dragon' miff:- |\
    composite -gravity east -geometry +0+3 \
              -   in.jpg out.jpg

try this

convert logo: \
-background none -fill red -size 50x -pointsize 14 \
caption:"THIS IS TEST 1" -gravity northwest -geometry +10+10 -compose over -composite \
-background none -fill blue -size 50x -pointsize 14 \
caption:"THIS IS TEST 2" -gravity southeast -geometry +10+10 -compose over -composite \
logo_two_captions.png

logo: is an internal IM image see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/forma ... tin-images

Thanks a lot for helping this far, but now i'm getting sleeping problem...

This result in no caption:
convert $argv[1] \
-bordercolor black -border 3 -bordercolor white -border 2 \
$ -background none -fill red -size 250x -pointsize 50 \
caption:'THIS IS TEST 1' -gravity northwest -geometry +10+10 -compose over -composite \
-background none -fill blue -size 250x -pointsize 50 \
caption:'THIS IS TEST 2' -gravity southeast -geometry +10+10 -compose over -composite \
-bordercolor black -border 10 \
$ -gravity east \
-append \
-bordercolor black -border 10 \
-gravity South -chop 0x10 \
$outfile

This result in 3 captions. "Hatching" is the one that control size of the bottom border. I want the caption with most text/lines control size.
convert $argv[1] \
-bordercolor black -border 3 -bordercolor white -border 2 \
$ -background black -fill white -pointsize 100 \
label:Hatching \
-bordercolor black -border 10 \
$ -gravity east \
-append \
-bordercolor black -border 10 -background none -fill red -size 250x -pointsize 50 \
caption:'THIS IS TEST 1' -gravity northwest -geometry +10+10 -compose over -composite \
-background none -fill blue -size 250x -pointsize 50 \
caption:'THIS IS TEST 2' -gravity southeast -geometry +10+10 -compose over -composite \
-gravity South -chop 0x10 \
$outfile

This results in two labels, but it makes a newline between the two captions, i can't get them on the same row and can't place them individually with -gravity.
convert $argv[1] \
-bordercolor black -border 3 -bordercolor white -border 2 \
$ -background black -fill white -pointsize 100 \
label:Hatching label:right \
-bordercolor black -border 10 \
$ -gravity east \
-append \
-bordercolor black -border 10 -gravity South -chop 0x10 \
$outfile

Same result as above, but both labels in left corner and with one newline between.
convert $argv[1] \
-bordercolor black -border 3 -bordercolor white -border 2 \
$ -background black -fill white -pointsize 100 \
label:Hatching \
-bordercolor black -border 10 \
$ -gravity east \
$ -background black -fill white -pointsize 100 \
label:Hatcyhing \
-bordercolor black -border 10 \
$ \
-gravity west -append \
-bordercolor black -border 10 -gravity South -chop 0x10 \
$outfile

Please, anymore tips?

Are you on Windows? Windows uses different line continuations and escape characters. If so, see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/windows/

Furthermore, my command did not use parentheses!

Is argv[1] valid?

test using

echo $argv[1]

to see if it has the filename and possibly the full path to the file you want.

No i'm on linux.

I tried your example without parentheses, worked perfectly, two captions on the logo, thanks!

My goal is to combine your example with this example. (Example also works for me, even with $argv[1])
convert thumbnail.gif \
-bordercolor black -border 3 -bordercolor white -border 2 \
$ -background black -fill white -pointsize 24 \
label:Hatching -trim +repage \
-bordercolor black -border 10 \
$ -gravity South -append \
-bordercolor black -border 10 -gravity South -chop 0x10 \
border_framework.gif
(from http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/thumbnails/)

Well, maybe i should abandon the idea to do it in a neat one-command way och take it in steps, make small image with captions and append that to a bordered image instead...

I am not sure what you are trying to do, but it should be possible with one command. Just explain the steps you want to do and post a link to an example input and output if possible to help me understand what you want.

I don't know which example you are referring from the thumbnails page. Can you post a link to the subsection of the page from the page index?

The example:

http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/thumbnails/#fluff

scroll down to "Adding Borders" (5 th example)

This is what i've accomplished and what i want (with some modification):
http://www.overum.net/displayimage.php? ... fullsize=1

The right caption is made with annotation, I want to have that done with label or caption to have more flexibility.

I cropped out the main part of your image without the borders and text and this is what I used to generate something similar:

convert $ forsbo.jpg -bordercolor black -border 2 -bordercolor white -border 2 \
-bordercolor black -border 10 +gravity -gravity south -background black -splice 0x70 $ \
$ -background none -fill white -size 100x50 -font VerdanaI \
caption:"THIS IS TEST 1" $ -gravity southwest -geometry +20+20 -compose over -composite \
$ -background none -fill white -size 100x50 -font VerdanaI \
caption:"THIS IS TEST 2" $ -gravity southeast -geometry +20+20 -compose over -composite \
forsbo_two_captions.jpg

The first parens sets up all the borders. The second sets up the first caption then overlays it. The third sets up the second caption then overlays it.
