| 
| Can I annotate text within a bound box so say
| 
| I want text on a 1200x2400 card to start at offsetX=800 offsetY=1900  
| and boxSizeX=300 boxSizeY=300.

You can create a label as a specify size, and have IM automatically
select the largest point size that will work, with, or without word
wrapping.  This can then be overlayed to the poistion wanted.

| So we've got a 300x300 pixel box starting at 800x1900....
| 
| Now I want to write "Happy Birthday Bob!\n\n Don't get too plastered!!! 
| \n\n\n Your Buddy Chris".
| 
| I also want to have that text centered in the text box and line wrap  
| if necessary.
| 
No problems.

| After reading through the docs I can't seem to find this functionality.
| 
| Am I blind?

probably the wrong docs. you want IM Examples, Text to Image Handling
