I want to draw some text over an image and I am trying to that in the below manner :
DrawAnnotation(d_wand,10,10,"Magick");
MagickDrawImage(wand,d_wand);
But I am getting below error :
delegate library support not built-in `none' (Freetype) @ warning/annotate.c/RenderFreetype/1533.
delegate library support not built-in `none' (Freetype) @ warning/annotate.c/RenderFreetype/1533.
Any help is appreciated.

So your IM probably doesn't have freetype. What does "convert -version" say? It should be something like this:
Code: Select all

You are also missing delegates such as png and tiff. I suggest you reinstall or rebuild IM.

Thank you, Installed a fresh ImageMagick and all delegates were present. I am able to draw text over an image now.
I have another problem, I want to add padding to the image on the sides, for this I am using MagickExtentImage API where I will provide the offset where the image will be placed and on the side padding comes. Currently the padding is in white color, can I somehow make this transparent.

Use a background of "none" (which is fully transparent black).
