Hello, I'd like to know how to encircle text using imagemagick, are there ready-made functions for this or do I have to dig deeper into it, thanks.

please explain what you mean by encircle or provide a link to an example.

If you mean put a circle, or ellipse or rounded-rectangle, then see -draw at http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/draw/#primitives

If you mean locating a specific bit of text, and marking it, that is a lot harder, but possible if the input is restrictive enough (not general).

More information is needed to help.
