imagemagick - Magick++: Image -> draw() problems when drawing text -

i complied imagemagick-6.8.8 on mac 10.9.2 static libraries support magick++.

now trying execute following example magick++ tutorial pdf on page 19 ( have removed comments following code

    drawabletext::drawabletext(double x, double y, const string& text_to_write)     image my_image(geometry(320,220), color("white"));      list<drawable> text_draw_list;     text_draw_list.push_back(drawablefont("-misc-fixed-medium-o-semicondensed—13-*-*-*-c-60-iso8859-1"));     text_draw_list.push_back(drawabletext(101, 50, "text write on canvas"));     text_draw_list.push_back(drawablestrokecolor(color("black")));     text_draw_list.push_back(drawablefillcolor(color(0, 0, 0, maxrgb)));      my_image.draw(text_draw_list); 

i following error:

magick: non-conforming drawing primitive definition `text' @ error/draw.c/drawimage/3193 

can me figure out.

also cannot use annotate have not compiled x support in libraries , believe using annotate requires x...

here output configure command

it'll save lot of trouble installing fontconfig, freetype & ghostscript. have x11 sitting in systems /opt directory. if not, jump on xquartz , run .dmg install. dejavu & window's fonts nice have, not needed. after installing font libraries, you'll need re-configure imagemagick (remember make clean), , re-install.

for magick++ tutorial, following line bit confusing, involves few wildcards may not familiar with.

drawablefont("-misc-fixed-medium-o-semicondensed—13-*-*-*-c-60-iso8859-1") 

from api, may better introduction initialize font directly.

magick::drawablefont::drawablefont  ( const std::string & family_,                                       magick::styletype   style_,                                       const unsigned int  weight_,                                       magick::stretchtype stretch_                                      ) 

find typeface wish use running identify -list font

font: helvetica-narrow   family: helvetica narrow   style: normal   stretch: condensed   weight: 400   glyphs: /usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/n019043l.pfb  

then it's matter of applying correct parameters

drawablefont font = drawablefont("helvetica narrow",                                   normalstyle,                                   400,                                   semicondensedstretch                                  ); text_draw_list.push_back(font); text_draw_list.push_back(drawabletext(101, 50, "text write on canvas")); text_draw_list.push_back(drawablestrokecolor(color("black"))); text_draw_list.push_back(drawablefillcolor(color(0, 0, 0, maxrgb)));  my_image.draw(text_draw_list);
