MagickAnnotateImage() Layer?

[zoomcityzoom]

Here's a snippet of code that creates a 600x800 canvas, draws a 10x10 grid, a rounded rectangle, a curve and then some text. The rounded rectangle is drawn over top of the grid. The curve is drawn over top of the rounded rectangle and the grid. The text, however, is drawn under the grid. Is there a way to force the text to appear over top of the grid or whatever else was previously drawn?

Thanks,
Tom

Immediately before you draw the text, you can render the drawingwand onto the magickwand, clear it and then do the text, like this:

Code: Select all

	MagickDrawImage(m_wand,d_wand);	
	if(d_wand)d_wand = DestroyDrawingWand(d_wand);
	d_wand = NewDrawingWand();
