Hello, How can I do this with MagickWand? It requires multiple commands. Thanks! <? global $imPath; $imPath = "/usr/local/bin/convert"; make_button_3D ("Hello World", 11, '#111111', '#C27A08', '#FE9800', '35', '#eeeeee', 5, 0, 'button_3d'); echo '<p><img src="button_3d.gif&q...

Hello, I do some really funky things with ImageMagick, thanks to some help from Anthony. For example, to add a gradient to a button I have to use ImageMagick to calculate the size of the button, write that size to a text file, then read that text file later. Can this be done with IMagick? Please rev...

Hello, I want the small image to be positioned at the bottom right, and I want the background of the image to be red.

Wow, Anthony, you did it again!

Adding 2>&1 pointed me quickly to the problems.

1. I had to include the FULL absolute path to convert (/usr/local/bin/convert)
2. I had to add a few extra slashes.

Seeing the errors let me fix them quickly instead of going blind.

Thanks!

Thanks!

But it does not fix the issue. Your code also creates a 0 size file.

Please try the code through the command line AND from PHP and you will see what I mean.

Hello, I would like to create a .mvg file use shell_exec() and ImageMagick. My php code produces an empty .mvg file.

The background needs to be red. How can I make the button have a red background instead of a transparent background? Thanks...

Thanks, Anthony. You are a true hacker! Now the only problem is that the final canvas size is too big. There is extra transparent space on all sides of my button. I looked through the documentation for a way to crop all extra transparent canvas space but found nothing. convert -background transparen...

Thank you both. Anthony, I tried the examples at the link you provided but could not get anything to work. I think that -fx might be the best tool, but I did not understand how to use it. I use the following code to DYNAMICALLY create a button: ## Based on this: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/adva...
