Add text layer to image

[nicke]

Have anyone used imagemagik to add text to an image.

I have done it with GD, only use ImageMagik for resizing so far. If you'd like, I can post the GD code for it here.

The following will create a PNG that is 300 wide by 50 high with a black BG and white text.

Header ("Content-type: image/png");
$im = imagecreate (300, 50);
$black = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
$white = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
ImageTTFText ($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $white, "/path_to_ttf_fonts/arial.ttf", "Text Goes Here");
ImagePNG ($im);
ImageDestroy ($im);
