[AndrewFerrara]

Need to change the letter spacing.. help?

 

$tag = 'www.xxxxxx.com';
$text_draw->setFontSize(;
$text_draw->setFillColor("black");
$output_image->annotateImage($text_draw, 123, 34, 0, $tag);
$text_draw->setFillColor("white");
$output_image->annotateImage($text_draw, 122, 33, 0, $tag);

can you show us more code, and especially the class code for those objects?

<?php

$tag = 'somewhere.com';

$output_image = new Imagick();
$output_image->newImage(300, 34, '#000000');

$text_draw = new ImagickDraw();
$text_draw->setFont("files/calibri.ttf"); //path to font file
$text_draw->setFontSize(;
$text_draw->setFillColor("black");
$output_image->annotateImage($text_draw, 123, 34, 0, $tag);
$text_draw->setFillColor("white");
$output_image->annotateImage($text_draw, 122, 33, 0, $tag);

$output_image->setImageFormat('png');

header('Content-type: image/png');
echo $output_image;


?>
