i m using this code to genrate text with shape like arc.
/texteffect.sh -t "TEXT" -s outline -e arc-top -a 180 -f Arial -p 48 -c skyblue -b white -o black -l 1 -u lightpink
In this if user type text in two line then it is not generating image. This code works fine for single line text.

My Texteffect script was designed to work only with one line of text! Sorry.

However, if I do the following as a test:


texteffect -t "Line1\nLine2" -s outline -e arc-top -a 180 -f Arial -p 48 -c skyblue -b white -o black -l 1 -u lightpink tmp.png


I get:



The successfulness of the result will likely depend upon the type of distortion.

Look like you need to use longer lines to handle the distortion

You could try adding a minimum radius.

one more thing in freds script how i will set align of text, like when text in two lines then second line text is align to center but i want it in left side. How is it is possible with freds script.
Please Help me

The script is designed to center all text. It is hardwired right now. It was never originially designed for multiple lines.

If you want to edit the script, then try changing all lines containing:

-gravity center -annotate

to

-gravity west -annotate

However, I make no guarantee that every style will still work as before.
