Renders a GIF image of the contents.
Note: If the background and text colors are not set in the
<body> tag of the page, the bg and fg
attributes must be set, otherwise the <gtext> tag will only
render a "Please reload this page" message.
Attributes
- alpha=path
-
Use the specified image as an alpha channel, together with the
background attribute.
- alt=string
-
Sets the alt attribute of the generated <img> tag.
By default the alt attribute will be set to the contents of
the <gtext> tag.
- background=path
-
Specifies the image to use as background.
- bevel=width
-
Draws a bevel box.
- pressed
-
Inverts the direction of the bevel box, to make it look like a button
that is pressed down.
- bg=color
-
Tells the <gtext> tag what the background color of the page
is. This is used for anti-alias purposes. The module can be configured
to try to find out this by itself, by parsing at appropriate HTML
tags.
- black
-
Use a black, or heavy, version of the font, if available.
- bold
-
Use a bold version of the font, if available.
- border=width, color
-
Draws a border around the text of the specified width and color.
- fadein=blur, steps, delay, initialdelay
-
Generates an animated GIF file of a fade-in effect.
- fg=color
-
Sets the color or the rendered text. The module can be configured to
try to find out an appropriate color by parsing HTML tags.
- fs
-
Apply floyd-steinberg dithering to the resulting image.
- fuzz=color
-
Apply a glow effect.
- ghost=dist, blur, color
-
Apply a ghost effect. Cannot be used together with shadow
or magic.
- glow=color

Link the image to the specified URL. The link color of the document
will be used as the default foreground rather than the foreground
color.
- italic
-
Use an italic version of the font, if available.
- light
-
Use a light version of the font, if available.
- magic=message
-
Used together with the href attribute to generate a
JavaScript that will highlight the image when the mouse is moved over
it.
- magic_attribute=value
-
Same as for any <gtext> attribute, except for the
highlighted image.
- magicbg=color|path
-
Same as the background attribute, except for the
highlighted image.
- maxlen=number
-
Sets the maximum length of the text that will be rendered into an
image, by default 300.
- mirrortile
-
Tiles the background and foreground images around x-axis and y-axis
for odd frames, creating seamless textures.
- move=x, y
-
Moves the text relative to the upper left corner of the background
image. This will not change the size of the image.
- nfont=font
-
Use this font. If no font is specified, the define nfont will
be used, or the default font, if there is no define.

By default, the background of the image is set as a transparent color.
This option overrides that behavior.
- opaque=percentage
-
Generate text with this amount of opaqueness. 100% is default.

fewer colors implies smaller images but also aliasing effects. It is
advisable to use powers of 2 to optimize the palette allocation.

intensity is specified as a percentage.
- size=width, height
-
Set the size of the image.
- spacing=number

Generate a separate GIF image out of each word. This will allow the
browser to word-wrap the text, but will disable certain attributes
like magic.
- split=character
-
