AnnotateImage() annotates an image with text.

The format of the AnnotateImage method is:

MagickBooleanType AnnotateImage(Image *image,DrawInfo *draw_info,
  ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

image

draw_info
the draw info.
exception
return any errors or warnings in this structure.

FormatMagickCaption

FormatMagickCaption() formats a caption so that it fits within the image width. It returns the number of lines in the formatted caption.

The format of the FormatMagickCaption method is:

ssize_t FormatMagickCaption(Image *image,DrawInfo *draw_info,
  const MagickBooleanType split,TypeMetric *metrics,char **caption,
  ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows.

image

The image.

draw_info

the draw info.

split

when no convenient line breaks-- insert newline.

metrics

    character width
    character height
    ascender
    descender
    text width
    text height
    maximum horizontal advance

    bounds: y1
    bounds: x2
    bounds: y2
    origin: x
    origin: y
    underline position
    underline thickness

This method is like GetTypeMetrics() but it returns the maximum text width and height for multiple lines of text.

the image.
draw_info
the draw info.
metrics
Return the font metrics in this structure.
exception
