I want to create a text overlay (text set via annotate()) onto an existing image with the sample code below. However, if the text has newline characters the text is overlapping on top of itself. The grey box on the output image should say:

Code: Select all

text
with
newline breaks

The output generated is:

Is there special handling for newline?

We compiled your source against ImageMagick 7.0.8-16, the latest release, and it worked as expected-- no overlapping text.

I've just tried installed the github master (3026328a5c87ed95822136405dd1665d627ea201) and recompiled and link but it still produces the same errornous output image. I can see that its linked against the 7.x libs

Code: Select all

$ ldd a.out | grep Magick
	libMagick++-7.Q16HDRI.so.4 => /lib64/libMagick++-7.Q16HDRI.so.4 (0x00007f2ca870d000)
	libMagickWand-7.Q16HDRI.so.6 => /lib64/libMagickWand-7.Q16HDRI.so.6 (0x00007f2ca83de000)
	libMagickCore-7.Q16HDRI.so.6 => /lib64/libMagickCore-7.Q16HDRI.so.6 (0x00007f2ca7cfb000)

Additionally it looks like the opacity() method has been dropped from the latest Image interface (i commented this out to make it compile). Did you do mod to the sample code to make this work?

The \n is a known fedora issue:
