## AnnotateImage

AnnotateImage() annotates an image with text.

The format of the AnnotateImage method is:

    MagickBooleanType AnnotateImage(Image *image,DrawInfo *draw_info)

A description of each parameter follows:

image
  the image.
draw_info
  the draw info.

## FormatMagickCaption

FormatMagickCaption() formats a caption so that it fits within the image width. It returns the number of lines in the formatted caption.

The format of the FormatMagickCaption method is:

    ssize_t FormatMagickCaption(Image *image,DrawInfo *draw_info,
      const MagickBooleanType split,TypeMetric *metrics,char **caption)

A description of each parameter follows.

image

The image.

draw_info

the draw info.

split

when no convenient line breaks-- insert newline.

metrics

Return the font metrics in this structure.

caption

the caption.

## GetMultilineTypeMetrics

GetMultilineTypeMetrics() returns the following information for the specified font and text:

        character width
        character height
        ascender
        descender
        text width
        text height
        maximum horizontal advance
        bounds: x1
        bounds: y1
        bounds: x2
        bounds: y2
        origin: x
        origin: y
        underline position
        underline thickness

This method is like GetTypeMetrics() but it returns the maximum text width and height for multiple lines of text.

The format of the GetMultilineTypeMetrics method is:

    MagickBooleanType GetMultilineTypeMetrics(Image *image,
      const DrawInfo *draw_info,TypeMetric *metrics)

A description of each parameter follows:

image
  the image.
draw_info
  the draw info.
metrics
  Return the font metrics in this structure.

## GetTypeMetrics

GetTypeMetrics() returns the following information for the specified font and text:

        character width
        character height
        ascender
        descender
        text width
        text height

The format of the GetTypeMetrics method is:

    MagickBooleanType GetTypeMetrics(Image *image,const DrawInfo *draw_info,
      TypeMetric *metrics)

A description of each parameter follows:

image
  the image.
draw_info
  the draw info.
metrics
  Return the font metrics in this structure.
