NAME

textrender - Turn stdin into rendered text graphics.

DESCRIPTION

This allows you to make very nice renders of text for web reasons, without using photoshop/firewors, etc. The advantage is that since it's via the cli, you can save text and parameters to a file and use that as configuration!

See textrender, the parent package.

USAGE

textrender [OPTION]..

   -p number       pointsize, default 11
   -f hex          color, such as ddffee
   -b hex          background color, such as ddffee
   -n string       font name or path
   -o path         out filename
   -g string       gravity, default is west
   -d              debug, show the commands
   -s              drop shadow, off by default
   -S [1-100]      shadow opacity, default is 80 (sets -s to on)

If no out filename path is provided, a temporary file is chosen- such as /tmp/textrender.2323525252.png and this path is printed to stdout.

If you provide a path argument, this is not printed to stdout.

USAGE EXAMPLES

   echo 'Leo Charre' | textrender -o /tmp/leocharre.png

   textrender ./file-with.text

You can search fonts available with findfont

Say you see /usr/share/fonts/truetype/unfonts-core/UnGungseo.ttf You can use it via: echo "this" | textrender -n ungungseo -o ~/test.jpg
