Hi: I have installed ruby-gimp, but I have not been able to decipher how to use it since the documents are in Japanese and I am not familiar with the gimp fu's. What I need is a command line method of generating a solid color rectangle (with a drop shadow) and to specify a font, font size and text in the rectangle. I am building a web page and it would be nice to have the graphics in part of the make system. A code snippet or documentation from somone would be very much appreciated.
