I need to include apostrophes in the text I'm printing.

Here is the text I would like to produce.

BLUE X'Y'Z' Prime Values X'=2014 Y'=1416 Z'=3816


Here is how I draw text. I can't figure out how to get those apostrophes added without breaking the parsing of that statement.

-draw "text 100,550 ' BLUE X'Y'Z' Prime Values X'=2014 Y'=1416 Z'=3816 ' "

Thank you for your help,
Drew

To avoid problems like this, I use the "caption:@file.txt" style.

Try this:

• convert logo: -draw "stroke red text 100,100 ' BLUE X\'Y\'Z\' Prime Values X\'=2014 Y\'=1416 Z\'=3816 ' " logo.png

Works great! Thank you.
