Imagick and Thumbnails

[-Mike-]

I'm building an advanced thumbnail generator for my website but am having some issues when try to convert the actual ImageMagick "convert" command into using the Imagick Image Library. Right now I'm using shell_exec to process the command but I am looking to make it to use the library to make my code more uniform. Any help will be appreciated.This is the command:

/usr/local/bin/convert "{$filepath}" -size 1x14 xc:Black  -background Black  -append -gravity South -fill White -draw "text 0,0 '{$filereso['0']}x{$filereso['1']} - {$filesize}" "{$outputpath}";"

I posted this topic in this forum because I'm trying to convert it into PHP but if it is the wrong forum please move or let me know.

I don't know what the syntax is for the convert command, so what are you trying to accomplish?

The command makes the thumbnails look like this website:http://www.freeimageparking.com/images/nrg...frnsl_thumb.pngI can draw the black bar at the bottom but I can't do text and how it appears under the thumbnail instead of on it.

Well, you can do this to create the thumbnail:

$im = new Imagick("image.jpg");$thumb = $im->clone();$thumb->thumbnailImage(100);

I would assume you would use this to draw the rectangle:http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imag...w-rectangle.phpBut the documentation on php.net doesn't explain how to use it and there aren't any user comments. You can probably find some examples here:http://valokuva.org/?cat=1.

Well I got the command converted after a little work and for anyone looking to make thumbnails like this one. Try the following code.

<?php$imagick = new Imagick();$canvas = new Imagick();$canvasdraw = new ImagickDraw();$imagick->readImage("shin_chan.jpg");$imagick->thumbnailImage(160, 0);$imagick->setImageFormat("jpeg");$canvas->newImage($imagick->getImageWidth(), ($imagick->getImageHeight() + 14), new ImagickPixel("black"));$canvas->setImageFormat("jpeg");$canvasdraw->setFillColor(new ImagickPixel("white"));$canvasdraw->setFontSize(11);$canvasdraw->setFontWeight(600);$canvasdraw->setGravity(imagick::GRAVITY_SOUTH);$canvas->annotateImage($canvasdraw, 0, 0, 0, "1000x1000 - 16kb");$canvas->compositeImage($imagick, imagick::COMPOSITE_OVER, 0, 0);$canvas->setImageCompression(9);header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");echo $canvas->getImageBlob();?>
