[magick-users] problem with @-

[Noel da Costa]

Hi,

I would expect these two commands to yield the same results, but they  
don't. The latter only create the shadow and not the gradient overlay  
text.


/opt/local/bin/convert -gravity center -size 320x100  
xc:'rgb(100,100,100)' -font Arial-Bold -pointsize 72 -fill black - 
annotate +5+5 'Anthony' -tile gradient:black-white -annotate +0+0  
'Anthony' /tmp/font_shadow.jpg

printf "Anthony" | /opt/local/bin/convert -gravity Center -size  
320x100 xc:'rgb(204,204,204)' -font Arial-Bold -pointsize 72 -fill  
black -annotate +5+5 @- -tile gradient:black-white -annotate +0+0 @- / 
tmp/font_shadow.jpg



Thanks in advance,


Noel da Costa
