Ruby/Rails image processing libraries

Question

Good friends of stackoverflow, I am here today for guidance regarding image processing/manipulation using Ruby in a Rails environment. I\'m creating on-the-fly dynamic banne

Answer 1

I wrote something like the following:

require 'rubygems'
require 'RMagick'
include Magick

image = Image.new(50, 50) {
  self.background_color = "white"
}
text = Draw.new
text.annotate(image, 0,0,0,40, 'Named Colors') {
     self.fill = 'black'
     self.pointsize = 32
}
image.write("image.png")

Which should be easy enough to follow. Also have a look at the documentation. Whilst it's not quite laid out to perfection, it's pretty much all there.
