just wondering if it's possible to convert a string to an image x pixels
wide. The text should automatically wrap at x pixels. i can do this using
ImageMagick's convert utility :
convert -size 200x -font Tahoma -pointsize 20 caption:"My very long caption
which should wrap at 200 pixels" output.gif
I looked at the annotate method in RMagick but it looks like I need to
specify the image dimensions. Can anyone suggest how I might get the effect
I want using RMagick?
I got this to work but while doing so I discovered that RMagick is
missing an attribute in the Image::Info class. I'll upload a new version
tomorrow and post an announcement here.
require 'RMagick'
include Magick
img = Image.read("caption:My very long caption which should wrap at 200
pixels") do
self.size = "200x"
self.pointsize = 20
self.font = "Tahoma"
end
img[0].display
that's excellent! Thanks for taking the time to do this and for writing such
a great library.
