Hello,
As suggested by fmw42,this is an enhancement request.
Topic : Writing a text with justify argument relative to a point

I think I understand (~) the -gravity option. But for justify text, I didn't found any existing option. So what about creating an -justify option ? or maybe, to be as complete as svg, 2 options : text-align and vertical-align ? (W3C SVG). I think (?) all needed values are already present in the -debug annotate "Metric line"...

I suppose that the problem will be when both of the 2 options (gravity & justify) may be present in one command-line.
But write doesn't look uninteresting to me.

Another user is also having a similar problem: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=17649

To not forget my question...
Thanks

This has been a 'want' since IMv6 first came out. I will be ensuring that it is included in IMv7 but that will be at least a year away.

Hi,

Is there a date scheduled for IM7 ? With justify option ??!!!
I can't see anything about that on this page : http://www.imagemagick.org/script/porting.php

At the moment the programming is concentrating on low level pixel handling (allowing up to a hundred channels rather than the current 3,4, or 5 channels of image data), low level speed increases, and for me the CLI interface to enable 'stream' or 'pipeline' operations, and setting handling.

Count me as a vote for justification as well!!
