Hi All,

 

I have just started using the wonderful ImageMagick and wondered if someone
could help me out with the following problem?

 

I want to draw text using a specified font with a soft outline (as seen at
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/fonts/font_outline_soft.jpg ), however I
have a couple of extra requirements:

 

1.	The text (with soft outline) is drawn over an image (background.jpg)
2.	I am using the -tile option to specify the fill pattern for the
font.

 

So far I have come up with:




convert background.jpg -size 720x194 \

-font MyFont.ttf -gravity center \

-pointsize 72 -annotate +3+0 "Anthony" -blur 0x5 \

-fill white  -tile pattern.jpg -annotate +0+0 "Anthony"   \

output.gif

 

It's ALMOST what I need - the problem is that although the soft outline is
being created under the font, the background.jpg image (in the output.jpg)
is also being blurred and I need it to NOT be blurred.

 

Could any of you kind people please give me some help on how to fix this? 

 

Many Thanks

Sujay
