Hi, I'm wondering if there is any way in PerlMagick to create text colored with a gradient.
Using the command-line interface, it is done in the following way (taken from the excellent IM Examples page, http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/-- I'd love to see PerlMagick equivalents added to those examples) convert -size 480x80 gradient:yellow-green -font Generic.ttf -pointsize 70 -tile gradient:blue-red -annotate +10+65 'Gradient Fun' funfont_gradients.jpg However, the annotate method in Perl doesn't take a "tile" parameter, and passing a 'gradient:yellow-green' to the "fill" parameter doesn't seem to work (and I don't think it should, since my understanding is that gradient: is a pre-defined image-handle, and that "fill" takes a color, not an image-handle. Any help would be much appreciated. I've worked around the problem for now using something of the form: my $blob = `convert ... png:-`; # this causes convert to output to STDOUT, which Perl reads in, and yields the equivalent of my $blob = $img->ImageToBlob() ...but ideally I would be able to use the Perl interface exclusively.
