please am trying to achieve the text effect{cake} on the above image. please somebody should help me.

You have not said what version of ImageMagick nor what platform. Please always provide that when asking questions, since syntax and scripting differ.

If on unix-like system, see my texteffect script at my link below.

Also you can try just adding a slight shadow to the text on a transparent background and then overlay that text image onto your background image. See

its on window cmd although am yet to make image magick work on my machine. but that's one of the reason i will want to pass through the stress to have image magick working on my machine

Go to http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binar ... hp#windows and download the appropriate version of ImageMagick for your computer (32-bit vs 64-bit). Unpack the package, launch and follow the install instructions. Recommend taking all the optional check boxes.

solved. could u please help me achieve that text effect on the image , please

What version of ImageMagick do you have or did you install? If IM 7.0.x.x, then

Code: Select all

magick -size 320x100 xc:none -font Candice -pointsize 72 -fill white -annotate +24+64 'Anthony' -fill black -annotate +26+66 'Anthony' -fill lightblue -annotate +25+65 'Anthony' font_stamp.png

thanks man, am finding it difficult to login to these website, alway logging out each time i click a link.

@pls fmw, am trying to write that text on an a image with these effect, can u help ??

Once you have created the text image as above, you can composite it over your background image

Code: Select all

convert backgroundimage textimage -gravity GG -geometry +X+Y -compose over -composite resultimage

See
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... hp#gravity
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... p#geometry

i would not want to generate a textimage separately, i will just want to generate the text with the effects then position it on the background image.
i.e i would just want to read in one image and not two images.however my code is not working

Code: Select all

exec("magick img1.png font_stamp.png  -gravity GG -geometry +X+Y -compose over -composite resultimage.png",$outp, $return);
if ($return == "0") { echo '<br>Image generation sucssesful<br>'; } 
else { echo '<br>Image generation failed<br>'; }

and finally, @fmw42 i really appreciate your time u use in answering my questions even if they are not concise . thnks man.

You have to insert the GG and +X+Y values. Did you not look at the links I specified for gravity and geometry? If you want to do it in one command, then

Code: Select all

convert cakeimage.png -font Candice -pointsize 72 -gravity center -fill white -annotate +0+0 'Anthony' -fill black -annotate +2+2 'Anthony' -fill lightblue -annotate +1+1 'Anthony' resultimage.png

Or use the full path to Candice.ttf if you do not have Candice in your type.xml file

Code: Select all

convert cakeimage.png -font path2/Candice.ttf -pointsize 72 -gravity center -fill white -annotate +0+0 'Anthony' -fill black -annotate +2+2 'Anthony' -fill lightblue -annotate +1+1 'Anthony' resultimage.png
