Image Effects Text is a module that defines an image effect that allows to place text on an image. It is a rewrite of the D6 text imagecache action, that the ImageCache Actions project itself failed/forgot to update. It is a solution for issue #1090312: Add text effect to D7.
Background
As maintenance for the D7 version of the ImageCache Actions project seems to be lagging behind, I put the code in a separate sandbox project. But please note that integration with ImageCache Actions is intended. Main difference is the naming, which is more D7 alike (IMO ImageCache Actions should be renamed as well).
Unlike the D6 version it was based on, this module works with both the GD and Imagemagick toolkits.
Dependencies
Hard dependencies:
- Imagecache actions.
- Image (Drupal core).
Soft dependencies/recommended modules:
- Imagemagick (preferred toolkit).
- PHP filter (Drupal core).
I tested this effect with both th GD and imagemagick toolkit on a Windows server. Tests with imagemagick on Linux will follow shortly. GD may expect to be working on each server. Please test on your configuration and file any isuues you find in the issue queue of this sandbox project.
