Command Line Parameters

The last parameter is always the text to be converted. If +f is used, the last parameter is the input text file name, and if the text file name has rtf extension, it is taken as a Rich text file, otherwise, it is taken as a plain text file.

Font
Syntax: -f(face-name,  height,  text-color)
Example: -f(Arial,  -18,  0000ff)
Rule 1: Default is the system's GUI font
Rule 2: Ignored if the input is a Rich Text file.
Output Image Size
Syntax: -s(width,  height)
Example: -s(800,   600)
Rule 1: If both width and height are not zero, more than one images may be generated.
Rule 2: If width is not 0 but height is 0, a single image with automatic height will be generated.
Rule 3: If width is 0, the height value is ignored. If the input text is not an RTF file, it will be taken as single-lined, and the output width and height will be automatically calculated.
Rule 4: If width is negtive, the height value is ignored. If the background is an image, its size will be taken as the output size, otherwise, Rule 3 will be applied.
