[FIXED] How can I draw a curved text using python? Converting text to curved image?

Issue

I want to write a python program that converts given text into an image. There are tutorials for it online, but I want to curve the text over a circle.

Let's say I have the text "YOUR CURVED TEXT".

I want to draw this on an image and end up with something like following:

I checked Pillow and OpenCV. I might be making a mistake but I don't think they have any functionality for curving the given text?

What would be the best way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Solution

You can do something like that in ImageMagick using -distort arc 360.

convert -font Arial -pointsize 20 label:' Your Curved Text  Your Curved Text ' -virtual-pixel Background  -background white -distort Arc 360  -rotate -90  arc_circle_text.jpg

You can do that also in Python Wand, which uses ImageMagick as follows:

from wand.image import Image
from wand.font import Font
from wand.display import display

with Image() as img:
    img.background_color = 'white'
    img.font = Font('Arial', 20)
    img.read(filename='label: Your Curved Text  Your Curved Text ')
    img.virtual_pixel = 'white'
    # 360 degree arc, rotated -90 degrees
    img.distort('arc', (360,-90))
    img.save(filename='arc_text.png')
    img.format = 'png'
    display(img)

Thanks to Eric McConville for helping with the label: code.
