Rails / Ruby - What stone can create an image with text?

Question

Example. I have an image.

In my controller, I have @name = "Jon"

Now I want to create a new image as the image that I received only with the name "Jon" in the middle of the image. I want to be able to specify the font size, color and font family to be used, and the position of the text.

What gemstone can do this?

Answer 1

The basic rmagick solution is not so bad, 6 lines. Below is a yellow rectangle with text in the center. You can experiment with font and dot size. The central challenge is there because I thought it looked better in the middle.

 require 'RMagick' canvas = Magick::Image.new(300, 100){self.background_color = 'yellow'} gc = Magick::Draw.new gc.pointsize(50) gc.text(30,70, "TEXT".center(14)) gc.draw(canvas) canvas.write('tst.png') 

I get a request, you can also go through. This should help.

Answer 2

I can’t comment, but if someone is working with the same problem as @andrhamm [cannot read the font (null)], install ghostscript and try again
