Imagick Example

<?php
// Load our signature base or background image.
$sig = new Imagick('images/sig/sigbackground.png');

// Load a class icon
$class_icon = new Imagick(strtolower($soe_character_data->class).'.png');

// Composite the class icon onto the background image.
$sig->compositeImage($class_icon, $class_icon->getImageCompose(), 19, 49);

// Create our temp drawing object.
$draw = new ImagickDraw();

// Pick a different font based on the character's server, in this case we load an OpenType font stored in my directory.
if ($soe_character_data->server == 'Barren Sky') {
    $draw->setFont('Century-Schoolbook-Bold');
} else {
    $draw->setFont('/home/********/public_html/images/sig/fedrascbold.otf');
}

// Set font size
$draw->setFontSize(20);

// Set draw color
$draw->setFillColor('#fefcdc');

// Add character name
$sig->annotateImage ($draw, 19, 34, 0, $soe_character_data->name_first );

// Text alignment
$draw->setTextAlignment(Imagick::ALIGN_CENTER);
$draw->setTextAlignment(Imagick::ALIGN_LEFT);

// Delete old file if it exists

// Write out the new file
