| All,
| I'm trying to generate an image of text  provided by a text input form.

| Using the following convert command:
| /opt/ImageMagick-6.3.4/bin/convert -size 710x339 -background  
| transparent -gravity north -fill "rgb(0, 190, 118)"  -font /opt/fonts/ 
| ARIAL.TTF -pointsize 46 -annotate +0+0 "01234567890123456789
| 0123456789
| 2
| 3
| 4
| 5
| 6
| 7
| 8
| 9"  /tmp/txt.png
| 
| This creates an image with the all the text up to the last "6", but  
| that "6" is cut off.
| 
| How can I prevent convert from rendering text that is cut off?
| 
Either remove   -size   or change it to   -size 710x
so that it will expand the height of the image to fit the text.

OR remove -pointsize  and liek IM size your text for 'best fit'

See IM examples, Text handling, Lables
   http://imagemagick.org/Usage/text/#label

Which goes through all this.
