Anthony,
But the crux of the issue is that we have a "window" that the text
needs to fit into.
I'd like to be able to allow the user to choose their text size as well.
The "window" I speak of is for a photo card so the text window is
merged on to another image.
I can't have the text hanging off the image.
Auto fitting the text to the size won't work. Changing the size won't
work as there are hundreds of text window sizes.
Convert needs to "know" that the line won't fit and not generate it.
Am I going to have to custom write a patch to
leave off the line if it can't fully render within the sized image?
Thanks
Chris

| 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

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

Which goes through all this.
