Re: Overlay text on images without Image::Magick

Hi anonymous, Thanks for your quick reply. I am just trying to find a way around this because I am not able to install it on my server .I'd like to save this for a later time. For now, I'm just looking for quick solution around this. I tried installing GD but it throws the following error:

GD object version 2.46 does not match $GD::VERSION 2.56 at C:/Dwimperl
+/perl/lib/
DynaLoader.pm line 213.
Compilation failed in require at ab.pl line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ab.pl line 1.
[download]

What do you think ?

I recall fighting something very similar a couple years back. I just installed Citrus Perl along side my standard install and use it any time I need GD.	[reply]

GD object version 2.46 does not match $GD::VERSION 2.56 at C:/Dwimperl You need to match up your GD c-library version with the Perl module. Either install the latest GD c lib from boutell.com OR try and find an older Perl module that was built against GD 2.46. There is also Imager, which is a great Imaging module. `#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use Imager; my $img = Imager->new(xsize=>400,ysize=>300); $img->box(filled=>1, color=>"ffffff"); #fill the background color my $blue = Imager::Color->new("#0000FF"); my $font = Imager::Font->new( file => 'Generic.ttf', index => 0, color => $blue, size => 30, aa => 1); $img->string( font=>$font, text=>'This is a test string', x=>20, y=>70); $img->write(file=>"$0.jpg", type=>"jpeg") or die "Cannot write file: +", Imager->errstr;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
