write( filename )

Parameters: This function accepts single parameters as mentioned above and described below:  

  • filename: This parameter is used to specify the name of the file.

Return Value: This function returns the GraphicsMagick object.

Example 1:

// Include gm library 
const gm = require('gm'); 

// Import the image 
gm(600, 300, 'white') 

// set the color for the stroke 
.stroke("green", 3) 

// Set the font 
.font("Helvetica.ttf", 60) 

// Invoke drawRectangle function with 
// x0: 10, y0: 100, x1:260, y1:210 
.drawRectangle(10, 100, 260, 210) 

// Invoke drawText in order to 
// name the box as 1 
.drawText(150, 170, "1") 

// Invoke drawrectangle function with 
// x0: 260, y0:100, x1: 350, y1: 210

// Invoke drawText in order to 
// name the box as 2
