hello to all,
I need to create some advice box in an www site.

Resorces are not mine, so www admin give me some limit. i can update only images on site.

Try to create (and update) some information box where i can write some info for site users, eg:



I can valorize text variables, so which is the simplest way to 'build' image above?

thank you for any hints,

m.

hello,
try to start from 'blank' sample :



and run these : first insert day, other insert month :



how 'add bold' in this example (for day string) ?

Thank you,

m.

either use a bold font or add -stroke black -strokewidth X where X is 1 or 2, etc to make the stroke wider

see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/draw/#stroke

You should also be able to use -weight:

thanks both,
but i'm not able to add your hints to my syntax,
can you help me a bit more ?

m.

try

convert blank.png -font Arial -pointsize 14 -fill black -stroke black -strokewidth 1 -gravity south -draw "text 0,8 '30' " final.png

thank you, works perfectly.
