Different fontsize for each line

[abs2act]

I'm trying to create labels with different font sizes for each line.

E.g.

Code: Select all

convert -background black -fill white -size 720x480 -pointsize 50 -gravity NorthWest -font Roboto-Regular label:'TEST1\nTEST2' -extent 720x480-70+0 test.png

I would like to increase the pointsize for TEST2 to lets say 60. Any ideas?

Thanks fmw42 for the links.

So the image doesn't turn out the way I exactly want. For example:

Code: Select all

convert -background black -fill white -size 720x480 -gravity NorthWest \
-font Roboto-Regular -pointsize 30 label:'TEST1' \
-font Roboto-Regular -pointsize 35 label:'TEST2' \
+append test.png

This creates 2 images and combines it. I want 1 image with TEST1 in the first line and TEST2 in a the second line with a different pointsize.

Something like this

Code: Select all

convert -background black -fill white -size 720x480 -gravity NorthWest \
-font Roboto-Regular -pointsize 30 label:'TEST1'\nTEST2' \
test.png

Unfortunately I can't figure out a way to change TEST2 to pointsize 35.

You could look at using Pango, which lets you add meta tags in the text to format it. However it has less control over font selection.

Thanks fmw42 for the links.

So the image doesn't turn out the way I exactly want. For example:

Note that label: and caption: are to create new images and then overlay them on a background image.

However, with -draw, you can put all the arguments into one -draw command and write directly to some background image.

Alternately, you can make several calls to -annotate to write each line to some background image.

Use "-append" instead of "+append".

fmw42 - I see you what you're saying. Can you provide an example of how to use the -draw command with the context I've provided?

[abs2act]

snibgo - so that stacks the images together versus having just one image with both lines of text.

unix syntax (new line == \) in windows use (new line == ^)

Code: Select all

convert -size 720x480 xc:black -fill white -font Arial \
-draw "font-size 30 text 0,30 'TEST1' font-size 35 text 0,65 'TEST2'" result.png

Or use draw twice

Code: Select all

convert -size 720x480 xc:black -fill white -font Arial \
-pointsize 30 -draw "text 0,30 'TEST1'" \
-pointsize 35 -draw "text 0,65 'TEST2'" result.png

The text x,y y value needs to allow space for the pointsize (font-size) and for any space between the top and bottom text.


Or use annotate twice

Code: Select all

convert -size 720x480 xc:black -fill white -font Arial \
-pointsize 30 -annotate +0+30 "TEST1" \
-pointsize 35 -annotate +0+65 "TEST2" result.png

That's it! Thank you so much fmw42!!

Thanks to everyone else that replied. You guys rock!

One last thing. So I'm trying to shift the lines x pixels over. Here's my code.

Code: Select all

convert -size 720x480 xc:black -fill white -font Arial \
-pointsize 30 -annotate +0+30 "TEST1" \
-pointsize 35 -annotate +0+65 "TEST2" \
-extent 720x480-50+0 result.png

The lines shift but for some reason I get a white bar on the left. I want the background to stay black.

Just modify the +0 after annotate, that is the x offset from whatever -gravity you have set, which by default is northwest.

-annotate +Xoff+Yoff "your text"


So

Code: Select all

convert -size 720x480 xc:black -fill white -font Arial \
-pointsize 30 -annotate +50+30 "TEST1" \
-pointsize 35 -annotate +50+65 "TEST2" \
result.png

The white stripe comes from "-extent", which pads using the background colour. See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... php#extent . The default background colour is white. Set it to whatever you want before "-extent".
